I live in the United States but I love traveling the world and interacting with people from different cultures. Learning the local languages is not only helpful, but also very fun for me. I speak a little French, and less Czech, but I always enjoy the opportunity to speak either poorly with another person :-)

    Understanding is having the meaning of a thing without context to how you got it. Figuring out implies a process of learning and problem solving.

    I'm wondering too. / I'm in suspense too. YES, although "I'm wondering" applies to a lot more questions than "I'm in suspense." The first is simply wanting to know the answer to something, while the second one implies you are in a highly excited/anxious state. "I'm in suspense" = "My brain has suspended operation", in a way. It's not that I don't trust you. / It's not because I don't trust you. YES, these are very interchangeable. It would only be a matter of preference I think.

    PhD student is also correct. When I was in school, PhD student meant you were enrolled in the PhD program, but PhD candidate usually meant you were writing your thesis or going through defense. "Student" is less formal and more conversational in any case.

    Yes, that is perfect. You often hear it reversed, as well: "Before you know it, we've grown up."

    Possibly "tomorrow"? I don't think it's trademark, since no one can trademark the sentence, "I will talk."

    In this context, it means established deeply or firmly, like the roots of a tree. "Respect for the freedom of speech is rooted in American culture."

    Revise my text, please. CAN YOU LIVE WITHOUT COMPUTERS?

    Nowadays, the technology is present everywhere in our lifes lives, everywhere, for from purchases, to make making an appointment to the doctor a doctor's appointment, to work, to send sending letters and to make making a bank transfer.
    The Internet and the new technologies make life easier for everyone. But also However, it is a danger tool if you don´t give it the correct use not used correctly. For example, when you chat with a person who you don´t know, you shouldn´t give personal information about yourself.
    Personally, I use my computer to read books, to work and to chat with my friends. I can´t live without my computer!. But, in on the other hand, I think the technology becomes so necessary that can isolate us from other people like your family.


    [if this is supposed to be more formal, replace "you" with either "one" or "his or her", and don't use contractions like "shouldn't" or "can't"]

    "Stacked up" also means measured up or compared. "How does the new iPhone stack up to other smart phones?" "The new restaurant is not all it was stacked up to be." In this context, it is NOT interchangeable with piled up.

    Sorry, this was my first post and I accidentally commented rather than answering :-) I would pick "Which countries speak mostly English", though both get the point across. I would actually phrase your second sentence like this: "Which countries do most refugees come from?" However, we were all taught in school not to end sentences with a preposition, although that rule is prescriptive and not true in spoken English. Thus, an English teacher might say this sentence is most correct: "From which countries do most refugees come?" That sounds very academic and formal, though.
