Anna Tyrie, Bleav
About this episode

E278: 🎙️ Welcome to The English Like a Native Podcast with me, your host, Anna! Tune in to Week 30, Day 1 of Your English Five a Day where we dive into vocabulary enrichment. Join us on this journey as we explore five new words each weekday to boost your lexicon.

😂 In today's episode, we start with the adjectives "hilarious" and "vibrant". We then explore the noun phrase "the life and soul," often heard as "the life and soul of the party". Moving on to "witty," another adjective, then wrapping up the list with the phrasal verb "crack up".

🏫 Join us as we practise pronunciation and test your memory with engaging scenarios. Follow along with the heartwarming story featuring old friends Lucy, Mark, Lily, and Tom, and the antics they get up to at their school reunion.
