E191: 🎙️ Welcome back to The English Like a Native Podcast! I'm Anna, and today marks the end of Week 17 of Your English Five a Day, our series dedicated to expanding your vocabulary.

😞 We tackle a difficult issue in today's episode, as we touch on mental health. We start off today's list with the idiom "stuck in a rut" and then we explore the adjective "listless". Then we explore the phrasal verb "run down" and our list continues with the noun "depression". Last of all, we delve into the adjective "determined".

🔥 Join me as we practice pronunciation and immerse ourselves in a narrative touching on the challenges of overworking, recognising signs of burnout, and prioritising mental health.
