Los dos significan "poco" pero 'little' se utiliza con sustantivos en singular y casi siempre incontables mientras que 'few' se utiliza con sustantivos en plural.

A 'couple' means 'two': 'a couple of days' = 'two days' A 'few' means (roughly) 3-10; not many: 'a few days' = 'several days' 'A few' can be used for 'two' as well, but it isn't usually more than 8-10.

I guess it can be for stylistic reasons. Or if it was being said it would be more preferable to say " a few too many" than " too many" for a character. Let's say it was a teenager who's going through the stages of trying to be "cool" and " fit in with everyone". Her character would talk in slang more often. Therefore she wouldn't say " there's a few too many children" she would say something like "there's too many children! Or " There is too many of them!" See what I mean? I would more commonly see " a few too many" used with a more reserved classier character. But also adding " a few" can add just a slight bit more detail to how many there were. Ex: " There we're many of them" how many? " Too" many? Just " a few too many" ? Or " way too many".? So just adding those slight few words can add more detail to what you are trying to say. " There were a few too many" " a few? Like how many more? " " just three more, but trust me, my eyes can only watch out for so many." " there were way too many of them" " Geeze, how many?" " I was told there would be 6 of them, instead she brought her friends' kids also. I swear there were 20 of them!" "Holy crap! That's a lot. I'm sorry haha"

I haven't been out in a while. I haven't been going out for a while. Based on your description these two seem the most fitting. You can replace "in a while" and "for a while" with "in/for a long time" or "in/for ages" If you want to sound more exclamatory you could also say: Wow, it's been ages since I last went out ( with friends ). If you specifically mean meeting with friends "socialize" is also a good verb: It's been so long since I last socialized with friends.

It's called a "short course".

I have been doing it for 7 years. Now I think about changing careers. I want to add a gain a few skills. For example, making contents and speaking English, etc. I'm looking forward to coming for the next 7 years. I added a few changes, but it does sound natural now.

It shouldn't make too much of a difference. The use of "up" and "down" in this particular example has the additional nuance of achievement (as if going up a mountain) and then returning (as if coming back down the mountain). As for the example "Hey, come on down here for a while", I think this use of "down" has the nuance of "come to this central location where many people are meeting". I think it may originate from when villagers living in hilly or mountainous areas would gather in a valley(which is in a low place) to hold meetings and parties. I'm just guessing on this one, though... ._.

You should say "I think I'll get better tomorrow." If you're talking about today, then "I'm getting better" sounds fine.

I would say "I'm supporting you from a distance." Or possibly "I'll support you from a distance." Either way, what you have is nearly perfect.

You might want to say "I feel nervous for my next exam, because I did not prepare for it very much." ^^

Today I went to the bank with my grandmother to help her. She wanted to buy .... Although there is an age limit she was able to purchase it because her parents registered her birth as three years younger than her actual age. When she was young, she had a problem with this because she was treated as being younger by those who were actually much younger than her. Also she wasn't able to get her senior benefits until she was older. But today she is happy with it, due to the fact that she was able to buy the insurance.

Cool question! Yeah, it's used often as a verb. I actually used to snowboard every day in winter while I lived in Japan. :D If you're talking to a snowboarder, you're more likely to hear something like "I was stoked after I shredded that run" because there's lots of slang used in these kinda of situations. "Stoked" here means pleased or happy. "Shredded" here means snowboarded, but fast & with skill. Terrain is a word you would use to talk about the type of land it is. Everybody knows it's a mountain and there's snow on it, so avoid that here. You could talk about "the slopes" here. Like "See you on the slopes!" but in this case, if you're talking about what you just did, use the route's name, or just say "run". "Man, you killed it on that last run!" Is a good way to tell someone they looked great
