Hello and welcome to the English Like a Native podcast.
My name is Anna and you're listening to Week 13, Day 3 of Your English Fiver Day.
The second season.
This is the series that gives you a healthy daily dose of English vocabulary so
that you can slowly but surely start to feel more like yourself when communicating in English.
So let's begin as we always do with our snapshot.
After experiencing heartbreak when her long-term relationship ended,
Elmer's mind was ridden with doubt about her ability to love again.
She needed time to properly grieve before she could rebound from the painful experience.
Finally meeting someone new was a bittersweet moment.
Joyful to feel her heart open again, yet tinged with the memory of what she had lost.
Looks like we're going to have some interesting vocabulary today.
So let's start with the noun heartbreak.
Heartbreak.
Unfortunately it's something that many of us have had to deal with at some point in our life.
A little heartbreak.
Heartbreak we spell H-E-A-R-T-B-R-E-A-K heartbreak.
Heartbreak is intense emotional pain or sorrow usually caused by the loss or disappointment of a relationship ending or losing something
that you really cared about or not achieving a goal that you were really fixed on achieving.
So heartbreak is often used to refer to the breaking down of a relationship or the loss of love but can be used for other disappointments and sorrows in your life as well.
