    The sentence means that "you made a great effort" or "you has worked hard". When we break down the sentence and see how it work, "一番" means "great" which is specially modified the word "苦功" (which means "effort"). Moreover, "下", which means "make", is a special verb for "苦功", and "下了" shows that the verb is a past tense. 你 下了 一番 苦功。 You made a great effort. Mind you, "一番" and "下" have so many different meanings in different situations. You should not use them as using "great" and "make". Here are some examples: 1. 今年利润比去年翻了一番。 The profit of this year doubled the one of last year. (In this sentence, 一番 means doubled.) 2. 他下楼了。 He went downstairs. （In this sentence, 下 means the verb "go" with a direction "down".）

    I'm sorry to tell you that you can only get your cantonese lyrics of these disney songs without their pronunciation. As far as I know, Cantonese is one kind of ancient Chinese languages which was born much earlier than Mandanin. And the pronunciation system of Cantonese is more complicated than the one of Mandarin. For example, there are nine pitches in Cantonese, but there are only four pitches in Mandarin. Nowadays, most of Cantonese speakers don't learn their accent or pronunciation by reading on Jyutping or Pinyin. They just practise and adjust their pronunciation from daily dialogues with others. Considering of the reason above, I suggest you should download the music video for those disney songs and practise more. Practice makes perfect. Wish you good luck.

    (the expression to explain why you are angry) I am very angry at you because you ******.(eg. you totally forgot our date!) (other expressions about your emotion) You deserve it! Stop it! / Enough! / Shut up! You are playing with fire! Get away from me! No way! / Over my dead body! Hands off! Don't play innocent! / Don't play dumb! You are so disgusting! / You can go to hell! Don't bother me. The expressions above are ALL I know about anger. I hope this will help you a bit.

    How to use "due to"? I got confused when I looked for the difinition phrase "due to". Some note for it was that it should be used as "caused by" but not as "because of". I don't get it. I can't see the difference between "caused by" and "because of". I hope that you can point out the difinition or some examples of "due to". Thanks a lot.

    Ms. Yunpaipai has given a very proper explanation. I will just give you some other examples. 1.以及：seldom used in oral dialogue, but often appears as 书面语 in essays or speeches to show solemnness and seriousness. For instance, it often show up in news reports. The phrase "A 以及 B" refers that "B is subordinate to A" usually or "B and A are treated on an equal footing" sometimes. 2.和：most common phrase for "and", often appears in oral or written form. It means the one before and after "和" are on an equal footing. Besides, when you say "you and I", you should say "我和你" instead, as the order of person in Chinese is different from that in English. 3.而且：different meaning from 以及 and 和, which means "moreover" or "in addition". For instance, “这座桥坚固而且美观” refers that "the bridge is stable; moreover, it's beautiful". The phrase "而且" strengthen the emotion and function of the sentence.

    It is an impolite phrase refering to people from south Korean, which means "south Korean Idiot". Some Chinese will accept the phrase as they agree with it, but it's not yet accepted publicly. That's why I suggest you not use this phrase.

    If you are asking the expression of "what a mess" in Chinese, my suggestions are as follows. 1.Although "真是乱七八糟！" can be translated into English as "what a mess!", it means "things are disordered" or "illogical" more precisely in most of the time. 2.In the first sentence "I love you,you don't love me", the feeling is frustrated. It may be OK to say that the situation is a mess in English, but it sounds awkward if you say "真是乱七八糟！" in this case. I suggest to use "太郁闷了" instead, which means "unhappy" or "gloomy". 3.In the second sentence, it's ok to use the phrase "真是乱七八糟" in this way. You can also use "一团糟" instead, which makes the sentence smoother. 4.In the third sentence, it will be better if you use "糟糕" which means "terrible" or "复杂" which means "complicated". It depends on the emotion of the sentence. Some other examples for "真是乱七八糟"： 1. 这教室真是乱七八糟。 Everything is at sixes and sevens in the classroom./ The classroom is in dreadful disorder. 2.这篇文章写得真是乱七八糟。 The essay is so illogical.
