Yes, there is a mistake, just only one "es"

You can't say "más mejor", just "mejor" or "mucho mejor".

Maybe instead of "explicarse", here you could use "expresarse".

El idioma, el lenguaje: masculino.
La lengua: femenino.

I hope it'll be helpful

"A propósito" is an adverbial phrase:

A propósito, ya que hablamos de sueldos, ¿cuánto cobras?

Another use of "propósito":

He decidido ya no volver a hacerme propósitos de año nuevo.
I have resolved not to make any more New Year's resolutions.
