      They are slightly different. We would use the phrase "I did it." after an accomplishment. Your example is correct. You could say it after getting a job. "I did it! I got the job!" We would use the phrase "I made it." after something like a trip. We would not use it to say we got a job. 😎🐕🐶

With your videos you have an impulsive desire to bite off more than you actually can chew, so let's not get sensitive about an Elephant in the Room (English), but rather try to implement those right away. Otherwise, you are gonna have to draw a blank at them and force your mind to go blank. As per usual, we are all worried sick about next expressions and let's just keep the ball rolling.
