This adverb means "most, to the largest degree" and can be used with adjectives to form superlatives. The second example it means "is not too difficult". The third example means "I can speak, but not extremely well", with the adverb this time modifying a verb ("to can"), not an adjective.
[]
This construction with the verb "to be" and the adjective/participle form of a verb is often used (in Chinese and in MediaGlyphic) to emphasize what happened when or where. Literally, the first sentence: "Your french is at where studied?"; the second: "You are from France came".
They both mean "also", but the first one is used to mean "the same as the previous statement". Hence the relationship between the statement introduced by it and the previous one is a parallel relationship. The second adverb, on the other hand, introduces an additional element to the previous statement. Therefore we can translate the first one with "too, either" and the second one with "additionally, as well".
[]
"from-France-came teacher", "the teacher who came from France". This construction is similar to English relative clause. In English relative clauses are attached after (to the right of) a noun, in MediaGlyphic they appear before: they have the form of an adjective and they appear in an adjective position with respect to the noun they clarify.
