If you say "you hardly do this work" it means that you don't do it everyday or you don't do it well.

The phrase "very sometimes I do this work" doesn't seem to make any sense to me.

If you want to say that you work well you might say "I know this and I work well with it" meaning I understand it

I hope this helps!

The word "Hardly" Adj:  means "Barely", "Scarcely"  (or Rarely), "Not Likely"

You could say:

I am barely able to do this work...  :

I would scarcely (rarely)  do this kind of work :

Its not likely that I would do this kind of work.  

So depending on the meaning/ context in which you use the word "Hardly".. it can have different meanings. English is fun if you can master all of the different ways in which it can be used to converse. It is also recognized as the language of business.

 My advice, try to read and understand the meaning of 10 new english words per day... An excellent way to do that is to consult dictionaries such as the Websters English Dictionary, or the Oxford English Dictionary.

I hope the above has helped in some way.

 Actually you are right, but your english is incorrect....It means..."I don't do this type of work that often"  or "I seldom do this work"!  If youneed help with english...stwashley@yahoo.com  c
