E136: 🎙️Welcome to The English Like a Native Podcast, your go-to listening resource for intermediate to advanced-level English learners. I'm Anna, and today I'm joined by Nick, and together, we're diving into the New Year with a discussion on resolutions.

As the phrase "New Year, New Me" echoes around in January, many see it as an opportunity for a fresh start. Whether it's giving up unhealthy habits or picking up new hobbies, the New Year sparks a wave of optimism and ambition. The duo delves into the vocabulary surrounding resolutions, introducing phrases like "starting afresh" and "turning over a new leaf." They discuss the origins of "starting with a clean slate" and its connection to starting anew. So tune in, and check out this jam-packed New Year's episode! 🎉
