14 分钟Hello and welcome to the English Like a Native podcast.
My name is Anna and you're listening to week 14, day two of Your English Fiver Day, the second season.
With this series, we are ramping up your English vocabulary bit by bit, day by day,
so that over time you start to feel more confident and more like yourself when communicating in English.
The first step is just to tune in and listen on a regular basis.
If you want to go a step further, then I offer lots of opportunities.
You have a free database you can download.
We have podcast plus membership where you can interact and test yourself and I also have a community
for live speaking classes.
All the details will be left in the show notes.
