A: Very good! Try to work on your pronunciation a bit. Emphasize the syllables and letters if you need to.

A: How about "he's trying to play it cool"?

A: Hmm, can you show me the Korean you translated from? You're right that the way the sentence is now with "pretend" feels unnatural. But I'm not sure without context what this should actually be xD

A: The sentence is already very good! It sounds natural :)

If you want, you can also say "acts" instead of "pretends to be."

You can also use "interested" instead of "enthusiastic", but both are good.

Eg:

- "He acts cool when his girlfriend is around."

- "He acts like a kid in front of his friends."

- "He acts interested when the teacher is around."
