"The more you are exposed to it, the quicker your English will become better."

Hi all

RE: "The more you are exposed to it, the quicker your English will become better."

Could you please comment on this sentence? I have two specific questions in mind.


First, does it matter if I swapped the order of "it" and "English" so that "English" comes first then "it"?

"The more you are exposed to English, the quicker it will become better."

Second, what difference does it make if I substituted "faster" for "quicker"?

"The more you are exposed to it, the faster your English will become better."

Thank you.

Best regards
PBF
