I recently went for an annual health check.

0:03.0

Well, actually, I should say more specifically,

0:06.0

Biennial health check.

0:08.0

If you don't know what this word biennial means in English,

0:11.0

don't worry because neither did I and I actually had to Google it and even

0:16.7

after googling it I had to check how to pronounce the word.

0:21.4

So guys if you ever feel discouraged because you don't know the word

and how to pronounce it, just from reading it, that's okay,
