My "sloppy" sentence is absolutely common.
Sterner:
Well it may be absolutely common in Austria but not in English speaking countries.
The model answer: You could say “I speak German fluently”, or “I speak fluent German”, or “I speak fluently in German”. Any of these will do, but your version (“I speak fluently German”) doesn’t sound right.

Wow, it sounds so emotional. If you really want to bet I am quite happy to accept your challenge. Here is a deal, if I lose I would apologize and say that I was a rude crook. If you lose you would apologize and say that you were a stupid cow. How’s that?
people speak german in Austria...not english.I speak english with my friends from the base.I live near there.So believe me I have enough possibilities to practise my English.And I prefer to be corrected by the native speaker,but not by you....

Instead of "in addition to" it is possible to use "besides" without any prepositions.

Dutch sorted out the main problem regarding “except English”, but his next adjustment wasn’t necessary ( a thousand of people).
The model answer:
I have learnt two more languages (in addition to English) and MET with thousands of people.
Khm... "Meet" is not not used with preposition, I guess.
You are right, you can use “meet” with no preposition. However, in this sentence “with” is also OK. There is a subtle difference in meaning, but not much.

sterner1 I have already heard about your trip to USA,but USA is full with Indians or other nationalities.You might have been working there as a waiter.Oh,now I know why the dishes like Pavlova,soup of the day (I think it's difficult to get a soup only from the whole day menu at least in Europe) and bla-bla-bla sound so familiar to you....and you think you are an expert...You can keep your apologizes for yourself and you will never get some from me.

I just wanna know why it should be "a". Sometimes I'm not good in articles.
I believe that there is a logical explanation to your question. It is clear that you are talking about the Kirgiz visa. However when you arrive in Bishkek you obtain a Kirgiz visa. Next time you will obtain another Kirgiz visa and so on. So whenever you come to Bishkek you always obtain a visa. To make sure that this answer is correct I checked it with three natives. They are all positive about it.
Why "the"? Thruth is an indefinite uncountable noun. Besides, there is no any distinctness for "truth".
I am sorry I can’t explain why “the” is required there. I am afraid we just need to remember it as it is. However I can assure you that this answer is correct as I confirmed it with three native speakers.

Do you want to bet? Actually I don’t expect that you accept my challenge, because there is a very slim chance for you to win. However just let me know if you do want to bet.

What a good piece of writing. Almost error free. I have picked up only one minor mistake. “indian” should be written “Indian”. I feel proud of you, you are showing good progress.

You can't explain it,because it's wrong!
Truth hurts. And it is correct!Not the truth... Life is hard.Love is cruel... and etc. Have you ever heard something about the abstract expression?
sterner1 Don't believe your "native speakers"!Stop being so silly...they are not native speakers !

It's all you really can...to copy and to bet.
"Truth hurts",but "I'll tell you the truth about yourself."So you can say the truth,but not in abstract expressions,that I used. And one more time:
