Your English Five a Day #21.2

Anna Tyrie, Bleav
About this episode

E216: 🎙️ Welcome to The English Like a Native Podcast with me, your host, Anna! Tune in to Week 21, Day 2 of Your English Five a Day, where we aim to enrich your active vocabulary with five new pieces each weekday.

🌟 Today's journey begins with exploring the prefix "uber" and then we delve into the word "mime", but this time as a verb, and not as a noun as we saw in a previous episode! Moving on, we take a look at the verb "heighten" and next up is the preposition "rather than". Finally, we finish off today's list with the phrasal verb "lumbered with".

🎤️ Test your memory and pronunciation with engaging scenarios, reinforcing your grasp of today's vocabulary. And to round off the episode, we conclude with a listener's email recounting a disappointing concert experience, we reflect on the importance of authenticity and live performance.
