E187: 🎙️ Welcome to The English Like a Native Podcast with me, your host, Anna! We're kicking off a new week here as you tune in to Week 17, Day 1 of Your English Five a Day, where we embark on a journey to enhance your vocabulary with five new words every weekday.

📖 Today's episode takes a literary turn as we see some book-related terms and go on to hear a fantastic book review. Our list starts with the noun "commodity" and is followed by the adjective "bland". Next up on the list we have the adjective "page-turner," and after that is another adjective "eccentric". Lastly, we explore the noun "prose".

🗣 Join us as we dive into pronunciation practice and a special book recommendation. Today's spotlight is on Ray Bradbury's classic, "Fahrenheit 451," a thought-provoking tale set in a dystopian future where books are forbidden, and conformity reigns.
