E217: 🎙️ Welcome to The English Like a Native Podcast! I'm Anna, and you're tuned in to Week 21, Day 3 of Your English Five a Day. Join me on a journey to enrich your active vocabulary with five new pieces every weekday, from Monday to Friday.

🌟 We kick off with the adjective "practical", which makes it onto the list twice today, as we look at its two different meanings. Then we discover the idiom "back-burner", which is followed by the verb "wield". Finally, we learn the phrasal verb "locked into".

🗡️ After our usual pronunciation practice and vocabulary recap, we then navigate through a fantastical tale where Elizabeth, armed with her practical blade, faces off against a formidable adversary who wields unimaginable power. Locked into her destiny, she confronts doubt and uncertainty, but her courage prevails.
