Best moment learning a language is finding words that #English doesn't have or doesn't use anymore.
Contemporary English doesn't have colloquial words for "the day before yesterday" or for "the day after tomorrow".
It used to have "ereyesterday" and "overmorrow".
Some European languages have equivalents such as the #French: "avant-hier" and "après-demain"
#Welsh having words for both, pleases me.
"Echdoe" and "trennydd"
