他已经自学了一些汉语,所以虽然我们从头开始学,但很多东西他已经会了。进展很顺利!

    Since it's aimed at beginners, this probably needs a bit at the beginning of the "Simplified or Traditional" section that reads something like: "`Simplified` and `Traditional' do not refer to the spoken dialect at all, but rather the WRITTEN form of the language. As the name implies, the 'simplified' form makes roughly 1/5 of the most complicated characters in 'traditional' script visually less complex and easier to write. The remainder of the characters are identical between the two writing systems. Once you know one, learning the other is fairly easy, so most speakers can understand either." And maybe: "Although there are a very, very small number of dialect-specific constructs, all of the dialect of Chinese share the same written language (except for the minor Traditional/Simplified difference), although they will pronounce the words very, very differently."

    To suggest or present an idea, particularly an unproven one. From an idiom "see if it floats" which means to try something that you're not sure will work. It tends to be used like this to indicate that the "floater" is lying, misinformed, or simply weird, but not always. (Note that it's an unusual wording for English, not something you're likely to see in everyday writing.)
