I'm probably way too tired right now to comment coherently on this, but here goes. Well, I've never tried teaching a language so I don't know how I would fare in comparison with your teacher. I can understand how a teacher might stress the point that "kinda" and "sorta" aren't actual words, even though they are widely used. I guess you can use them so long as you know they aren't correct (yes, everyone uses them, knowing they're not correct - and you'd not use them in formal writing for example). A lot of English speakers in both the US and UK do this thing that grates on my nerves, where they write "could of" or "should of" instead of "could have" or "should have." I think they don't even know it's wrong

Haha :) I'm not going to insult somebody nor properly nor not. Although I think you're right - I learned fast typing that way. But unfortunately I haven't so much time to play in games of late

I have no idea what your teacher was on about... saying "I have been to [any place]" is correct. Saying "I've been in [any place]" is also correct, but I think it's used less than "I've been to [any place]." And you're right, "sort of" and "kind of" are not incorrect. They're conversational I guess as opposed to formal, but not slang. FYI, you want to say "I've been to THE US," not "I've been to US." Also most americans will call it the US or the States, and not the USA or America, but now I'm just being extra picky, none are incorrect.
I'll remember this but now I seem don't understand this simple moment. Okay, let it be. I'll realize. Russians say 'I need to sleep with this' that means that in morning I'll be understand it better than now. Mind works. :) Anyway if I meet you in real life I'll should give you a medal for your help. :)
