Your English Five a Day #30.3

Anna Tyrie, Bleav
About this episode

E280: 🎙️ Welcome to The English Like a Native Podcast with your host, me, Anna! Tune in to Week 30, Day 3 of Your English Five a Day, a series dedicated to boosting your active vocabulary and sharpening your listening skills through deep dives into five language items every weekday.

Today's episode starts with the idiom "head for the hills". Next up is the noun "disdain" and the adjective "tattered". Moving on, we discuss the adjective "abandoned" and finish off today's list with the noun "rumour".

After the vocabulary recap, I guide you through pronunciation exercises and a memory quiz to reinforce learning. Then, in the storytime segment, I transport you all to a mysterious Victorian house where hidden treasures and chilling discoveries await.
