    "Kinda" is just an informal version of "kind of." Similar to "sort of/sorta." It is commonly used with "like." 

    "This is kinda hard to understand" means something like "This is a little hard to understand," but it is much more natural.

    In my experience, people almost always stick to a single language in a relationship. In fact, for many, it even causes arguments to try to use a second language unless the speakers are on a similar level in both languages. I was surprised when my professor told me he speaks about 40% Russian and 60% English with his wife. He is from Georgia (country) and she is from Russia.

    I almost only work on italki. I have taken a lot of time of recently and stopped accepting new students, except briefly, for a few months because I am trying to deal with a lot of things in my own life. Soon I will have to start accepting new students again and work full time because I am about out of money. I can pay rent in about one week on italki, working full time.

    #2 is correct and it is a natural sentence. It just rearranges the sentence. Imagine it this way: I'll take you skiing next weekend, provided you get your father's permission. "Provided" is a rare conjunction. Unless COULD work, but it probably is not something you would hear. It would make it sound like you are forced to go unless you get permission to not go. It isn't really natural.

    I disagree that these are mistakes. They are, in fact, correct in certain dialects. When it is a "common mistake" in an area, it is not a mistake, it is merely a change in the language. Language evolves. Language has, is, and always will evolve. Just because one dialect is different than yours doesn't make it wrong.

    That said, I do not teach these three "mistakes," but I do hear it very often in the area I come from because it is part of a regional dialect. When I am confronted with something like this, or if I have a great opportunity to bring it up, I do point out these differences in dialects. I don't say any are more "correct" because none are more "correct" than the other, I let the student decide what dialect they prefer. I've had students that prefer British English and I have no problem with it, I help them recognize these issues, and "correct" it for their preferred dialect. It is much better than taking the <em>prescriptivist approach and saying,</em> "This is the correct dialect and all else is wrong, including millions of native speakers that make these 'mistakes.'"

    I've been using Anki for a couple years and it is VERY helpful. I highly recommend it to all my students and everyone else!
