GROW OLD

Dear Teachers,

1. Spending too many hours in the classroom setting may even put you off the language.

- What does "put you off" mean here?

2. I have only come across two Teachers who were really excellent.

- What does "come across" mean here?

3. I've heard many good things about Germany, and hope to visit in sometimes.

- I think "in" is redundant here, right?

4. - May you two live happily together forever.

- May you two be happy together forever.

- Are these natural?

5. May you two grow old together.

- What does "grow old" mean here?

Thanks very much to Teachers,

Stevenukd.

I know this isn't your original sentence, but the only is misplaced, and the t should be lower case in teachers.

I have come across only two teachers who were really excellent.
