Recitation and Listening to the Quraan

Q: I would like to know can a woman following the shafi madhab read Quraan without socks? That means revealing the feet.

Q: Are you allowed to participate in other activities e.g. going on your mobile phone whilst listening to a students Qur'an?

Q: Can I read the Quran without wudhu and without a head scarf? I read Quran from my phone in English transliteration as I cannot read Arabic.

Q: I am 18 years old and my father forces me to read Quran online for 1.5 hours every week at set times. I am busy in my studies so this is an annoyance to me and I think it's unnecessary because I have already finished the Quran and sill don't know it's meaning because I've never read it in English and I am reading it in Arabic again. Is this wrong of my father to force me into this? Is it minor shirk? 

Q: Is it permissible to lie down and read Qur'an?

Q:

1. Does any portion of the hand need to be covered at the time of reading Quraan?

2. Will it be sinful for any part of the hand to be exposed?

Q: While doing my household activities or even doing my assignments, can I play the audio of different Surahs from Qur'an. Whether I am listening or not as I want to prevent myself from thinking Shaitaani things while doing any work.

Q: Is it necessary that a person reciting Qur'an with the mushaf should be on a higher level i.e. on a chair e.g. if someone is sitting on a chair, then the reciter of Qur'an with mushaf should also be on a chair or the one sitting on the chair near him should sit on the ground?

Q: I wanted to know that must every Muslim speak in Arabic or make dua only in Arabic. I read Qur'an in English transliteration of Arabic, so is it right to do or not?

Q:

1) Can you please advise me on how to concentrate whilst reading Quran? When I do my dhor I do not know what to concentrate on and my mind wonders.

2) Can you also advise me on how to gain khushoo in my Salaah.
