E208: 🎙️ Welcome to The English Like a Native Podcast with me, your host, Anna! Join me as I guide you through Week 20, Day 1 of Your English Five a Day, a series designed to enrich your active vocabulary by exploring five words each weekday.

🤢 In today's episode,  talk about illness and health as we start off the list with the adverb "nowadays" and the adjective "clammy". Next up, we see a word where the spelling doesn't match the pronunciation: the adjective  "nauseous". Then we look at the verb "fire", but not in its usual professional context! Last but not least we delve into today's phrasal verb, "fight off".

😵 As usual, stay tuned for useful pronunciation practice, a recap of the vocabulary, and an interesting narrative from the point of view of a panic attack sufferer, giving us an insight into what it's really like and how to deal with it.
