что ты хочешь? please correct the sentences

Привет!

Could you please tell me if all of these phrases are correct:

Many thanks!

Hello, As a Russian learner I got curious to know what other languages could I learn in the future based on my knowledge of Russian. What Slavic languages are the closest to Russian?

what is дурной / дурно
