Your English Five a Day #17.2

Anna Tyrie, Bleav
About this episode

E188: 🎙️ Welcome to The English Like a Native Podcast with me, your host, Anna! Today marks Week 17, Day 2 of Your English Five a Day, where we delve into five new words to expand your vocabulary.

🌟 Kicking off our list is the adjective "mindless". Next up is another adjective, "prophetic", and then we explore the noun "conformity". After that, we delve into the adjective "uncanny" and our last item on the list is the verb "dazzle".

🔮 Join us as we practice pronunciation and in today's story, we visit a fortune teller named Madame Mystique, despite the storyteller's initial uncertainty. Can Madame Mystique's words really predict the future?
