Your English Five a Day #16.2

Anna Tyrie, Bleav
About this episode

E181: 🎙️ Welcome to The English Like a Native Podcast with Anna! Join us for Week 16, Day 2 of Your English Five a Day, where we dive into enriching your vocabulary with five new words or phrases each weekday.

🔥 Today's lesson begins with the noun "wear and tear", and then we explore the verb "detach". Next up is the adjective "tone-deaf", followed by the idiom "in check" or "keep something in check". Finally, we examine the phrasal verb "burn out", something I've unfortunately experienced too much of!

🔧 As always, we conclude with pronunciation practice and an engaging story tying together the day's vocabulary, where we see Jack, the workaholic mechanic, and his concerned wife urging him to take a break.
