what's the difference between 'improve' and 'enhance'?
is 'improve' used in real life more than 'enhance'? I guess 'enhance' has more formal meaning. is that right? thanks to put up with my mumble jumble.

"Improve" means to increase the level of quality.
"Enhance" means to take one element and lift it to a greater degree (the old meaning was simply "to make higher").
You can see there may be some overlap, however "improve" can only be used in positive situations. To illustrate:
"My bad mood was improved by her actions." = you felt better.
"My bad mood was enhanced by her actions." = you felt worse.

Improve means to become or make sth better but Enhance means to make sth look better by increasing its value or beauty.

These words are very similar and can mean almost the same thing. You are here to "improve" your english skills. This will "enhance" your employment opportunities. Often improve is used more often that enhance..... Self Improvement can enhance your appeal to you friends and family.
