Hi red,
Most the speakers ARE German.
My GPA is 3 out of 4.
These are correct, for the rest of your questions please wait for someone else. :-)

I've heard these two sentences, We have a picture of yours We have a picture of you

The first case is the same as "we have your picture" which does not necessarily mean that you are in the picture. In the second case, you are in the picture.

Hi every body (Worse vs. worst), would you explain the difference?

Good, better, best. Bad, worse, worst.

(From vs. of) Could we use (from and of) interchangeably
|
Generally, no; sometimes, yes. Someone else might be able to give a better answer but, for me, it is idiom at we need to get used to with experience. |

We have a picture of yours. We have a picture of you.
They have the same meaning.

Hi Red, You can not say "Most the speakers are of Germans", and also this one "most the speakers are from Germans", you should say "most of the speakers are from Germany." If you want to use "of" in your sentence, you should say "most of the speakers of Germany are talent.(for example)" and if you want to use "from" you should change the "Germans" to "Germany" because "from" here refers to a place not the people of that place.
