There’s still hope for you to speak English well because I am quite sure your English now is not as “abstract” as the English Antonio Banderas had when he was starting his career in the US!!!! Anyway, he still makes unimportant mistakes : he says "how he is" and he should have said "what he is like"

Joking apart, here is a list of words and expressions they use  you may not be familiar with, and which will help you to understand most of their speeches:

Stepfather = padrastro

Burst into our lives = irrumpió en nuestras vidas

So vibrant, so fun, so funny

Siblings = brothers and sisters

Flamingo = flamenco

Remarkable= notable, extraordinario

Enduring= duradero, imperecedero

Long-lasting = de larga duración

On behalf of = en nombre de

Be in awe of = ( have respect and admiration for someone )
