I'm interested in all languages, but specifically Japanese because it's a challenge as well as it being very handy to know as I love watching anime :) I know the basics of Chinese, taught by a native friend and I wish to continue to build upon it. As for Korean, I wanted to learn it after a friend introduced me to Korean dramas, some of which I loved and I really want to watch them and be able to understand it. I'm studying Human Biology and love talking about it. I also play the flute.

    I think the easiest is to do what the native people do when they first start to learn English - with rhymes, memory aids and stuff like that. And regularly thinking in English or reading to yourself helps too. Of course, the most effective way to learn spoken English is to speak it: be it in front of a mirror, to your pet, to other people, as long as you get the sounds pronounced, you're practising :)

    normally it would be considered informal, unless of course, that the writer is placing 'but' at the beginning of a sentence to stress something. So in this case, I think it can be considered quite formal.

    'any more than' means 不比...多. e.g. don't feed the dog any more than one serving. => one serving max. if you get what I mean

    practise writing figures this way: 230000->230,000 instead of 230000->23,0000. and so on.

    There's no clear distinctions between the two, but 'footprint' is more often used. 'Footmark' would sound awkward in a conversation. Also, when I think of 'footmark' it's normally associated with marks made by a shoe or boot on a muddy surface, whereas 'footprint' is a less clear print of dust or dirt on a cleaner surface.

    You can start by listening to the radio or watching TV in English. If there's any English movies at the cinema that offers subtitles in a language you know, go and watch it with friends. The key to learning a language is to have fun with it :) This way you tend to remember it better. Also, speaking relates directly to listening, as you are repeating what you heard. Record a clip in English, then repeat after it and listen to the pronunciation to see how close you can get. Another way is converse in English, be it to a pet, baby, yourself or a stuffed toy, it'll be really effective as you engage in the topic.
