Pompous: Adjective: people that elevate their sense of 'self -importance' These people usually present in a formal and serious way due to their false belief that they are better, smarter, or more important than others

NB: It is amusing to observe pomposity (for myself)

I like the French language too. I had 2 years of French in highschool too. The only other choice of language was German.

Whimsical
Meaning something along the lines of curious, quirky, unusual and lightly fanciful or mysterious. I have always liked this word for some reason. I like the sound of it and what it means. It is almost a word unto itself because it is hard to put into words what it means. I associate it with interesting people, songs, movies, creations etc with an air of wonder about them. It feels like it links to the imagination.

Now this is a word I should start adding to my daily vocabulary. Isn’t it such a magical word?
