It's similar to the list in the last chapter of New English File Upper Intermediate. Fun as it is, schadenfreude now does exist in English as a borrowed word and some of the others like Pena ajena, Yoko meshi and L�esprit de l�escalier aren't actually words Smile

I kind of like how languages like Spanish have distinctions between things like girlfriend and female friend, much clearer for understanding!
