Hello and welcome to the English Like A Native podcast.
My name is Anna and today I'm taking you back to the gym.
We've been going to the gym all week and this time I'm going to take you on to the squash court to discover some more fabulous English vocabulary.
Now please don't switch off.
I know that many of you listening will not be into squash.
certainly probably not as much as I am.
I am in love with squash,
I love the sport and I understand that many people won't play or at least won't be as into it
as I am.
To be into something means to be really interested in that thing.
But it doesn't matter,
regardless of whether you love the sport or whether you are completely unaware of the sport there'll be lots of vocabulary that will be relevant for life in general.
So stick around and maybe pull out a pen and take some notes that would be useful.
I have five items of vocabulary that I specifically want to give to you today but
as I talk off the cuff I'm sure that many items of vocabulary will be thrown into the bag.
Okay so when I go to the gym usually I'm going to play squash.
As I've mentioned it's my sport of passion I love it and so I go early on a Sunday morning I will give up my lie-in A lie-in is when you sleep longer than usual and just allow yourself to wake up naturally without an alarm,
without being prompted by someone else.
So I give up my lie-in in order to go to the gym early on a Saturday and a Sunday morning to play squash.
I'll also go out late in the evening to play matches with other people.
