E149: 🎙️ Welcome to The English Like a Native Podcast. I'm Anna, and you've joined us for Week 11, Day 5 of Your English Five a Day, where we head off on a daily vocabulary journey to enrich your linguistic repertoire from Monday to Friday.

🎮The first word on the list is the noun "staycation", which is followed by another noun, "gamification". Number three on the list is the verb "overlook" and the next item on today's list is a well-known idiom, "the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence". Wrapping up our list for the day, and for the week, is the verb "sample".

💚 As usual, we bring all these words together in a thrilling story, and in today's story, we hear about Sam, a shy teenager determined to overcome anxiety and embark on new adventures. Despite his previous belief in finding comfort in solitude, will Sam realise that the grass really is greener on the other side?
