"It seems/looks/appears like ~." Are these different or the same?
I wonder if "it seems like ~," "it looks like ~" and "it appears like ~" are different or the same, in meanings.. ?

Hi Takako,
I think it's best if you read this article:

and this post on a forum: http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=457131

Ditto as Mr. Avatar, but I don't think the 'like' after 'it seems' is quite necessary. :-/??

Same!
But the grammar is slightly different:
"It seems nice"
"It looks nice"
"It appears to be nice"
Appears is always followed by the verb "to be", and we don't say "appears like".
It seems like it is a good thing.
It looks like it is a good thing.
It appears to be a good thing.
