Dankon antaǔe! (Is that correct for "Thanks in advance?" Boy, I would like to find a conversation group I can get to in less than two hours. Anyone know of one closer to Shepherdstown, WV than Washington, DC? I'm trying to pull one together here, but am having no takers so far.)

Baldaŭ fariĝos pli facile is a more literal translation of "Soon (it) will become easier." It uses the adverbial form, because there is no clearly defined subject "it" to which an adjective would apply.

They are both correct. I would still go for "baldaŭ fariĝos pli facile" because I am more used to see adverbs in sentences that lack a subject.
As for "thanks in advance" I would probably say "antaŭdankojn".
Good luck for your conversation group. I'm sorry, I'm way too far

Some people prefer using the plural (e.g. bondezirojn) for salutations. I prefer the singular, but either should work.
@darkweasel: that speakers of German should prefer compound words, I can well understand!

darkweasel:Would you also use pli bonigi?No; I was of course joking about the fondness for compound words in German. Actually, plifaciliĝos might be a better way of putting it, because pli faciliĝos might convey an impression of something that had already started to get easier, becoming still more so.
