I’m not a native speaker of Polish, but let me correct a bit:

In this case, idiomatic Dutch sounds a lot like colloquial German. :-)

I think that the second phrase should be "saya jauh lebih sering jalan-jalan". despite what the dictionary may say, I think "sering" is actually an auxiliary verb, not adverbs. Alternatively, you can nominalize the word "jalan-jalan", so it becomes "saya jalan-jalannya jauh lebih sering". I'm not sure yet about the last one, so I need input from other Indonesian natives.

Está bien. Si tú practicas, tú puedes ser fluido en el idioma que tú quieres aprender.
It’s ok. If you practice, you can be fluent in the language that you want to learn.

Nicht notwendigerweise. Ich höre ganz schlecht, und deshalb ist es schwer, eine neue Sprache fließend zu sprechen.
Not necessarily. My hearings is pretty bad, and therefore it's hard to speak a new language fluently.

I like how the word for "write" in four of five of these languages comes from Latin.

Numbers usually follow the noun. If you put a number before the noun, I think you need to put の between them. が is used after 人, because 人 is the subject.
