825 - Phrasal Verbs With Away

Michael DiGiacomo Happy English
About this episode
I was working away this morning trying to write this podcast English lesson. And it was hard to concentrate because my dog, Max was barking away while looking out the window. Meanwhile, my other dog Rosie was sleeping away, snoring on the sofa. You see, working from home is not as easy as it sounds. 

Today we’re going to talk about a group of phrasal verbs that all have something in common — they use the word “away.”
