The Tim じぁん!!!
It was a sunny day. During my reading session, I came across a sentence that caught my attention: “I am enchanted to make your acquaintance.” It was the kind of English where I understood every word individually but still didn't quite grasp the overall meaning. I thought, “Enchanted? Is this about magic? How do you ‘make’ an acquaintance, anyway? By casting a spell?” It turned out to mean simply “nice to meet you.” No one’s never spoken to me like that before. (Starting now, I will forever say this one instead of “nice to meet you.” It sounds way nicer and somewhat elegant.) On the same page in that book, I also leaned how "long-hairs" can refer not just to people with long hair, but also to those with extra-refined tastes, especially in classical music. The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.

Added a comma after individually for clarity - changed "No one's never" to No one has ever (double negative correction) - changed leaned to learned Other wise your writing is engaging and clear

Enchanted is certainly a little poetical. Delighted is more common. Knowledge is like blowing up a balloon. The more knowledge there is in the balloon, the bigger it gets and the more you realise is on the outside.
