The fact that I got gratuitous wrong but said like it was my freaking name 😂

[Warmbodie]

I always get a bit too proud of myself when I can pronounce the words of my native language correctly

(I saw someone else do a similar thing in the comments of another video and thought it could be helpful here too)
Also, for those who don't know, 'synonym' is a word with the same or similar meaning -- from my experience, they are very useful when learning a second language, as you learn new words and pick up context clues instead of reading the definition or translation every single time.

[FieryHammer]

The fact that I struggled on the first one, but could pronounce the last immediately cause of it being "memed" says something about my language skills 😅

[InsideKarensHead]
