🍴 If you're not hungry now, you certainly will be after listening, as today's vocabulary is all about food!

Amidst the lively atmosphere, competitors showcase their culinary skills, crafting wholesome burgers with unique flavors.

E216: 🎙️ Welcome to The English Like a Native Podcast with me, your host, Anna! Tune in to Week 21, Day 2 of Your English Five a Day, where we aim to enrich your active vocabulary with five new pieces each weekday.

🌟 Today's journey begins with exploring the prefix "uber" and then we delve into the word "mime", but this time as a verb, and not as a noun as we saw in a previous episode!

🎤️ Test your memory and pronunciation with engaging scenarios, reinforcing your grasp of today's vocabulary. And to round off the episode, we conclude with a listener's email recounting a disappointing concert experience, we reflect on the importance of authenticity and live performance.
