At first, I feel like there is some bumps and there is some hiccups.

Can anyone rephrase or explain that?

You have it correct, bumps and hiccups. It means that along the way she hit a few bumps in the road or had a few hiccups in a otherwise smooth perfect refine meal. Does that make more sense?

I'm not sure if that's the final translation Lena, but it would need to be rephrased; i.e., "At first, I felt like there were some bumps and hiccups." It might have to change, too, according to the context of the paragraph, tense, etc.

I'm starting to feel that "bumps and hiccups" is not an idiomatic expression in the English language. Did the girl just say what she was feeling? Did she just give her own comparison of her difficulties with bumps and hiccups?

So, they both are idioms. The video was really helpful, rockzmom. Thank you.
I also looked up the whole resourse and was amazed at it. Its having subtitles was a pleasant bonus.

But the girl had neither driven anywhere before that nor eaten anything which we know about. Did you watch that scene in the video I linked? Perhaps you mean it’s an idiomatic expression? If so, does it mean that first it was difficult for her to learn and practice that dance?
