Stuttgart seems to be dressed in holiday clothes.
Stuttgart looked very bright and colourful. Possibly it was ready for a parade or procession, with waving flags, etc.
The streets are studded with posters.
There are posters everywhere.
A lot of people are swarming like ants.
There are people everywhere.

Hi,
What is the difference between "the idiom" and "the figurative speech"? |

"Fast" won't work, you have a tall mountain to climb, so be patient.
Start doing exercises (this site has them in great abundance).
One word of advice: you'd better find something that you enjoy doing, that involves English (maybe playing a game or watching a movie where the characters use English). Otherwise you will lose interest fairly quickly and drop out.
