As a non-native English speaker, I enjoy the fact that while I stared learning English 23 years ago, I continue to learn a new word almost daily. Thanks to
Cultural Offering, the daily average just went up to three.
Aplomb, Alacrity, Zeal. Admittedly they have appeared on my radar before, but it takes a few times before new words stick.
In comparison, my native tongue has less original words than English, but
Hungarian prides itself on long ones:
legeslegmegszentségteleníttethetetlenebbjeitekként
meaning: "like those of you that are the very least possible to get desecrated"
It's a mouthful, isn't it?
