About this episode

E143: 🎙️ Welcome to The English Like a Native Podcast, your go-to resource for English learners at intermediate to advanced levels! 🎧 I'm your host, Anna, and today we're embarking on an extraordinary journey.

👥 As we explore what makes a person ordinary or extraordinary, join me in reflecting on the extraordinary actions of historical figures. Rosa Parks, the mother of the civil rights movement, Malala Yousafzai, a brave advocate for education, and Nelson Mandela, a symbol of peace and reconciliation. 🔍 Join me in this exploration of the extraordinary, and let it inspire you to do something extraordinary in your own way!
