“What sms app is famous in your country?”is this correct??
Although people would understand what you're asking, "Which sms app is popular in your country?" would be better.

How do you pronounce Raoul?
Names are tricky, since people have their own preferences in how their names are pronounced.
The two most common pronunciations for "Raoul" are [rah-OOL] and [rowl] (a rhyme of "growl" and "foul").

Enlight me or enlightened me?
"Enlighten me" basically means 'explain to me.' We often use it as an insult, suggesting that the other person is stupid or lying.
For example, "Oh, really? Please enlighten me as to how you came to the conclusion that the earth is flat." 😒
"Enlight me" is not standard English.

Do the word 'foreigner' bring negative connotations?
It shouldn't, but in Trump's America, it sadly does. Racists often use it to distinguish themselves from "outsiders."
Therefore, instead of "She is a foreigner," we admins would say "She's from Japan" (or wherever their homeland is).

What is the difference between scared & scary?
SCARED = afraid; frightened 😱
SCARY = frightening
So if you see something SCARY (e.g., a snake, lion, shark), you become SCARED.
Henry's friend is deathly SCARED of needles. He thinks they are SCARY.

Can i say i "will not" or i "won't" which one is the right? and what is the difference between i "will not" and "won't"???
"Won't" is the contraction of "will not," so "I won't" is exactly the same thing as "I will not."
The only difference is how they are perceived in formal writing. Many teachers and editors do not like contractions in formal writing (papers, essays, reports), so they prefer "will not" to "won't."

What is proofread?
To "proofread" means to look over an essay, article, email, etc. and correct any errors.
I appreciate it or I'm appreciated? Are both acceptable? Thank you.
"I appreciate it" is what you say when you're grateful for something. For example, "Did you water my plants? If so, I appreciate it."
"I'm appreciated" (I am appreciated) means that you think you are valued and loved by other people. For example, "I'm appreciated at my work" means 'My boss and my colleagues at work respect me and treat me well.'
They are both acceptable, but as you can see, they mean different things.

can I say you make my heart beat faster or beats faster or You make my heart beats beating faster??? which one is the right one
The correct one is "You make my heart BEAT faster." Here's why: after "make," "makes," or "made," we use the base form of the verb:
- He made my heart SING.
- That song makes my ears BLEED.
- Those videos make my students DANCE.
- He made my heart SING.
- That song makes my ears BLEED.
- Those videos make my students DANCE.

what does long for means? is that when youre wanting for something so bad, and when you finally had it then the affliated phrase is said?
"Long for" basically means to 'want something you miss very much.' However, it can also have the added meaning of wanting something that is difficult or impossible to obtain.
So these examples would both be correct:
- Ever since he left California, Peter's brother has been longing for a Double-Double from In-N-Out. 🍔 (That's just saying that he misses his favorite burger very much.)
- After they broke up, he's been longing for her warm embrace. (This one's sadder because it suggests that he'll never feel his ex-girlfriend's warm embrace again.)

What does lowkey mean and how to use it? Btw, I'm so happy you're back! Welcome back mate!
"Low-key" basically means 'not flashy' or 'not showy,' e.g., "She wore a low-key outfit to the ceremony."
People often use it nowadays informally as a synonym for "secret," as in "Keep it low-key, but my friend cheated on the exam."
In formal writing, don't use "low-key" in that sense. Use "discreet" or some other synonym instead. ✌️

"You're" is a contraction of "you are," as in "You're (You are) awesome!" or "You're (You are) my best friend."
"Your" is a possessive adjective; it shows that something belongs to you: "Your dog is eating my lunch," "Did you leave your phone in the car?"
