I hoped to be fluent in Spanish by the end of 2019, but it turned out to be harder than I thought :). I think I'll be where I want to be in maybe one more year. I'm an engineer who likes video games, eating out, wine/beer, and playing piano and guitar.

It’s been a long time but I can see that you’ve made some real progress! You just need to get used to listening real Chinese and speak more and you’ll reach the next level :)

    "43% lower" means reduced by 43%. The sentence is a little confusing, but I think it means in the first week of March capacity was 43% lower than the capacity a year ago.

    I mostly agree. 3a is definitely wrong. 1a is ok, but 1 sounds better. 2a is perfectly correct if you haven't started reading the book yet. If you have already started reading the book, 2 is better.

    I've studied German and Spanish, and I think they are about equally difficult (at least to an English speaker). The German verb is much easier than the Spanish verb in my opinion. The cases are harder, but there really aren't that many rules, and they are generally regular. I think memorizing the rules for the subjunctive in Spanish is much harder than memorizing accusative vs. dative in German.

    "I have a cramp in my leg" is probably what most people would say. A cramp is when the muscle tightens and won't release. I think a spasm is when the muscle is twitching involuntarily. I'm not exactly sure :).

    In my opinion this is really bad writing, so don't feel bad for not understanding it. I read "Socialist Realism" on Wikipedia, and it was much, much clearer :). I think it means that art should not portray subjects important to the individual but instead should only portray subjects important to society as a whole. That's my guess anyway!

    I don't know either to be honest. It is not a good sentence. Maybe he is referring to conditions that are neurological/psychiatric diseases?

    I can't think of a sentence where toward(s) is an adverb. Do you have an example?

    They both mean the same in American English and both are commonly said. But in writing, "got to" is casual and "must" a little more formal (for example, you won't see "got to" on a form or in an official letter).

    I have never heard that expression before either. Maybe it's old fashioned (are the stories old?) I don't think it's really expressing the future. I think it means something like "it is said that..." or "people say that..."
