Hello and welcome to the English like a native podcast.
My name is Anna and you're listening to week six, day three of your English five a day.
The second season.
This is the series that is dedicated to expanding your vocabulary,
improving your fluency and helping you to feel more like yourself when speaking English.
Now if fluency is a big goal of yours but you've been struggling to make progress lately,
then why not come along to my fluency masterclass where we'll cover the common mistakes that people make when striving for fluency as well as an introduction to my four step system
for achieving fluency.
I'll give you the system and you can put it into place today if you like.
I'll leave a link to register for my free fluency masterclass in the show notes.
But now let's begin with today's episode.
We're going to start with a snapshot.
So in this snapshot I'll cover all the vocabulary that we're going to dive deep into today.
So listen closely.
