#11 A Good Laugh: Success

▶️ Did you know “Success” could be a name? Actually it is a common one in 🇳🇬Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation. Check out how a clever little girl named Success outsmarts (=be smarter than someone else) the adults around her.

#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.

▶️ You may have seen this guy on YouTube, it’s the one with the long red hair. His videos are all about sarcasm (=joking with opposite meanings), and if you understand the jokes you can be proud of yourself! He loves to criticise fashionable lifestyles in America.
