Use this version if you are female. Adjectives in Spanish must match the gender of the person they describe.
A common alternative that translates to 'I feel proud.' It emphasizes the feeling itself.
An exclamation meaning 'What pride!' or 'How proud!' Use it to react to a proud moment.
Means 'It makes me proud.' Use this to say what is causing the feeling of pride. For example, 'Me enorgullece tu trabajo' (Your work makes me proud).
I am very proud of you, son.

The phrase 'Estoy orgulloso/a de...' is standard and understood everywhere in the Spanish-speaking world.
The phrase is the same, but you will hear it used with 'vosotros' for 'you all' (plural/informal): 'Estoy orgulloso de vosotros.'
The core phrase doesn't change, but 'tú' (you, singular) becomes 'vos.' So, you'll hear 'Estoy orgulloso de vos' instead of '...de ti.'
Usage is standard. 'Estoy orgulloso/a' is the most common and natural way to express this feeling.
Using 'ser' instead of 'estar'. Saying 'Soy orgulloso' means 'I am an arrogant person' (a personality trait), not 'I feel proud' (an emotion). — Always use 'estar': 'Estoy orgulloso'.
Forgetting gender agreement. The adjective 'orgulloso' must match the gender of the person who is proud. — If you are male, say 'Estoy orgulloso.' If you are female, say 'Estoy orgullosa.'
Forgetting the preposition 'de'. You can't say 'Estoy orgulloso mi familia.' — You must connect what you are proud of with the word 'de'. For example, 'Estoy orgulloso de mi familia.'
