2 enjoy: "To have a good time" with someone, and "to enjoy one's time" with someone both share the same meaning. Both refer to a pleasant or fun experience shared with someone else. For example: "-Did you have a good time last night? -Yes, I really enjoyed our time together".
3 take: We can say "to take a shower", "to have a shower" or "to shower": all three referring to washing oneself using a shower. For example: "-Do you want to take a shower after we finish our run? -No thanks, I showered yesterday".

What does this expression mean?
Kevin says to Harold Warbuckle, "I understand you enjoy golfing."
What does this expression mean?
What does this expression mean?
Kevin is making a statement about Mr. Warbuckle, and not about himself. Kevin is saying that he has heard Warbuckle likes to golf.
Kevin is making a statement about Mr. Warbuckle, and not about himself. "To be filled with joy" is an expression which describes the act of being extremely content or happy.
Kevin's statement does not express that he knows the "reason" for Warbuckle's passion for golf.
When Kevin says, "I understand that you enjoy golfing", he is expressing that he "has heard" or that he is "aware" that Warbuckle enjoys golfing. "To understand" doesn't express the literal sense of "comprehension" in this context, rather it is synonymous with the expressions "to hear that" and "to be aware of".

What does Lawrence mean when he says this?
This is correct. The term "whether" is an important one in English: it generally distinguishes between two choices (whether you go or stay, I will be here). It also functions like the term "if", introducing conditional possibilities: It all depends on whether (or not) you want to come to dinner. Here Lawrence is expressing that he will teach the Delavigne staff to have fun "even if" the staff doesn't want to learn. Another way to say this is that Lawrence will teach them to have fun "regardless" of their wishes.
Lawrence's expression does not indicate that he will teach the Delavigne staff to enjoy themselves (although this is part of his goal), but rather this specific phrase expresses that Lawrence will instruct the staff "even if" they do not want to learn.
It's true that the "weather" sounds identical as the term "whether". However these two terms are different: "Weather" refers to the temperature and conditions outdoors, and "whether" refers to the distinction of two choices or of two possibilities.
Lawrence's expression does not indicate that the staff will surely appreciate his lessons, but rather that he will teach them even if they do not want to learn.
