    while I'm reading a magazin, hahahaha, it's saying "the things you shoudln't do in your twenties." I laughed out loud when I ran into that "you shouldn't try any healing for yourself"

    When you say ~ 할 것이다 that means as you already know "will do~" and even if there is no subject, it's expected that someone or something will do some action However, when you run across ~~~할 것 which doesn't have 이다, so that it can't be used as a verb, but a noun, literally means "to do" , and normaly implies that an action that somebody is planning to do or will do shouldn't be forgotton. For example, when you make a plan, you might make some notes like 운동할 것,to excercise 밥 먹을 것,to have meals, etc., or in a warning sign or instructions, you may be heard to do some action, like 조심할 것, to be aware of danger, Hope it'll help :P

    Haha I like answering your questions :P 일요일까지 밤마다 공부하고 있어요. (I will STOP studying on 다음 일요일) >then, you should make it more specified info. that you'll not study next Sunday since 일요일까지 밤마다 공부하고 있어요 doesn't imply any info. of stoping studying next week :) I can't study until Sunday. 일요일까지 못 공부해요. (I will START studying on 다음 일요일 - probably because I have other plans)> then, you won't say that above to give a meaning of the parentheses since it doesn't either give any of resuming study next Sun. I was studying every night until Sunday. 일요일까지 밤마다 공부하고 있었어요. (it's obvious from the past tense that 일요일까지 means I stopped studying on 지난 일요일)> Since you didn't specify of 일요일, it could mean recently you've been studying till this Sun, or Sun in the past tihat you'd been studying. Depending on the context, it's understood differently, but , this sentence above doesn't either give any info. of that you stopped studying on last Sun. Would it be better to use 다음 and 지난 to make it more clear? Yes :)

    you can use all those in the same occasion. To specify, 머리 좀 식히고 올게요 literally means I'm going out to cool down my head. When you have some problems to worry or things to be solved using your brain, your head would be steamed up :P So, when they say that, it implies, 'to get some fresh air". And the other two expressions literally means "to get some fresh wind,바람 or air,공기" 바람 좀 쐬고 올게요;공기 좀 쐬고 올게요. We usually say first two expressions, 머리 좀 식히고 올께요and 바람 좀 쐬고 올게요 rather than 공기 좀 쐬고 올께요.

    simply 맵다 "is hot, spicy", 매콤하다 has the same meaning but slightly has a nuance of "less spicy" than 맵다. 얼큰하다 means also same spicy. In definition of the word, it says so hot, that my mouth's got numb. However, it may depend on people who use these words how much they think over each word relating to the nuance. For me, I might say 얼큰하다 when a dish is hot, normaly soup, and stimulates my nose for the spiciness or makes me warm inside :P 맵다 is commonly and mostly used word for the spiciness of food, however hot they are :)

    Good :) You can use 라고 하는 and 라고 불리는 for the same occasion and both can be used to people or objects, If I say, when 불리는 goes for people, that implies more like has a nuance of nickname or second name. Ex) the car is called "unstoppable wildhorse" 그 차는 멈추지않는 야생마라고 불린다. rather than 야생마라고 한다.(make sense though) 불리다 is a passive form "is called" so when you say 라고 부르는 which you can also use for the same meaning, but in this case the subject that would be they or somone omitted. 멈추지않는 야생마라고 불리는; (사람들이or someone)멈추지않는 야생마라고 부르는 일컫다active,일컬어지다passive meaning the same.but more like close to the nuance of 부르다 지수라고(하는) yes, it's just omitted :)

    that means actually presents that the gap of age is very big. however, 쩔지 않아 is a slang that's been used recently in teens, so, I don't recommend you to say that :P

    you can use both in written or spoken Korean. Ending with ~걸 implys a bit of exclamation and mostly used in spoken, and to the people who you're close with and not older than you :)
