Physio-biological words I like (and was tested on today): synaptogenesis, endoplasmic reticulum, phospholipids.
These words remind me Sanskrit. Try saying them out loud. Your tongue flaps around the inside of your mouth like a fish out of water.
This is how I feel practicing Sanskrit. I can't wait to get to India where everyone talks with their tongue flapping around their whole mouth! This is why, I'm told, Indians who speak English have the accent that they do. In English, we speak with our tongue squashed up against our teeth. In Sanskrit (and Hindi), it's an oral free-for-all!
My flight leaves in 6 hours or less (fingers crossed). I checked and rechecked (and rechecked) all the post-it notes wallpapering my condo with "don't forget this and that" lists. I may lose my mind, but not my passport OR disinfecting wipes! I'm so excited I might dance through airport security (I will surely be strip-searched), following which I will hopefully pass out into a Dramamine-induced coma for 20 hours. Rejoice!

I strongly discourage participating in oral free-for-alls. You don't want to get hep b.
