A good example off the top of my head is your prepositions.

Perfect, imperfect, pluperfect, future, near future, future-in-the-past, present continuous, conditional, subjunctive, imperfect continuous... I just don't care.

I witnessed a black forest cake being made in the Black Forest. And then I had a piece.

I like stuff like that but I do get caught out sometimes, especially in speech. My teacher was so condescending about it, though.

Hungover is also really overrated, it's nothing special to me. I like it, but that's it.

I think PAARDH is her worst released song

The prepositions are so easy Everyone knows them in alphabetical order.
A, ante, bajo, cabe, con, contra, de, desde, durante, en, entre, hacia, hasta, mediante, para, por, según, sin, sobre, tras.
English prepositions are so difficult. I hate in/on.

I think I know but I have no idea how to explain it and I still mess up sometimes.

In Spain, maybe.
I know most of them, but when in doubt, I use just "a" or "en".
German prepositions are even worse.

Party at a Rich Dude's House is god-tier. Top 3 on Animal for sure.
'Cause we're young and we're broke and I can't find my coat
And the sun's coming up and oh my god I think I'm still drunk
Where's my coat? Where?
Ugh. I miss her sense of humor. It's sorely lacking on Warrior and it was one of Animal's best qualities. It's such a fun, funny album.

I have a fascination with grammar, but I give zero ****s about that.
I have one 'Spanish' teacher but she taught us half of a lesson in Portuguese before someone called her out, so I have no faith in her, all she has going for her is her good look (like omg model material why would she become a teacher, the whole lesson is just me and my friends making up sexual fantasies behind her back ).
Our other teacher is lovely, though.

YES. I love her sarcastic songs because literally nobody else could pull of songs like PAARDH, Dinosaur, Grow A Pear etc. It's part of the reason why I stan.

None of the Spanish teachers/native Spanish speakers at my college could either, don't worry.
A German native speaker explaining the genders tea.
