▶️ Let’s be honest, some young parents are just too young to handle their babies correctly. Here’s a guide that’ll come in handy (=be useful at the right time), not only for young parents but also for greedy vocab grabbers (=people who take something quickly and rudely)!

#12 A Good Laugh: Bollywood

▶️ India’s “Bollywood” is not only the world’s largest movie industry by output, the name is also an interesting linguistic phenomenon called “portemanteau” – the combination of two words in one. Which two words? Bombay + Hollywood = Bollywood.

Enjoy some truly epic (=impressive and historical) moments of Bollywood.

A Good Laugh #23: Stupid girlfriend

▶️ Brad from England has a big bunch of (=a large number of) videos exposing (=showing, esp. sth bad) his girlfriend as incredibly stupid. Makes you think – can anyone be so dumb (=stupid) or is this proper good acting?
