E176: 🎙️ Welcome to The English Like a Native Podcast with me, your host, Anna! Tune in to Week 15, Day 4 of Your English Five a Day, where we enrich your vocabulary with five new words every weekday.

😢 Today we touch on the sad topic of loss, as our list starts with the idiom "to tighten your belt" and then we explore the noun "widow". Shifting gears, we delve into the adjective "underlying", then, we encounter the verb "exude". Finally, we explore the adverb "frequently".

🏥 After recapping and practising pronunciation as always, we delve into a poignant story. Helen's life takes an unexpected turn when she becomes a widow, navigating the loss of her husband Arthur, who concealed his underlying health issues with confidence and vitality.
