Hello and welcome to the English Like a Native podcast.
My name is Anna and you're listening to week 24, day 3 of Your English 5 a Day, the second season.
This series is your support,
allowing you to dunk daily into the English language to support your habit of learning English.
By tuning in every day of the working week from Monday to Friday,
you will slowly but surely start to feel more comfortable and more confident when communicating in English.
So, without further ado, let's do, as we always do,
lots of do's, and start with a snapshot of what's to come.
My generous grandmother bestowed onto me an 18-carat gold pendant.
She told me it had belonged to her mother and that it would keep me safe during my three-month trip to Japan.
I was astonished that she was trusting me with this precious item of jewellery after I clumsily broke the clasp on the last necklace she gave me.
She had engraved my name onto the back of that one.
My grandma is so sweet.
Okay, without further ado, let's dive into our vocabulary.
Number one, bestow.
Bestow.
This is a verb.
Say it with me.
Bestow.
Bestow.
