02:56
That's a very common mistake there, so make sure you avoid it the next one is really similar, but it's a bit more slang
34
176419
6090
03:02
It's a bit more informal
35
182510
1569
03:04
It's to be dying to do something
36
184079
3170

6390
03:42
Which you can watch up here and that video was quite popular
43
222620
3389
03:46
And I think a reason why is because you can see that I'm really really really happy in that video
44
226139
6050
03:52

45

52
268370
6750
04:35
Pumped and pumped is a little bit more like you're ready to go you want to begin you're full of
53
275490
6200
04:41
Motivation and energy so before unleash I'm going to be feeling really pumped like yes. Let's go

287000
4829
04:52
alternative ways of saying to be
56
292290
2000
04:54
Excited because using the same word over and over again can be quite boring and it can be quite repetitive
57
294540
