E294: 🎙️ Welcome back to The English Like a Native Podcast! I'm your host, Anna, and you're listening to Week 32, Day 4 of Your English Five a Day, the series that aims to build your vocabulary by diving into five pieces of vocabulary from Monday to Friday.

🌟 Let's kick off our list with the verb "shield". Then, we explore the emotional idiom "to have a lump in your throat", followed by the noun "awe". After that, we look at today's phrasal verb, "wash over", and finish off with the verb "whisper".

🎒 After exploring these words and giving you a chance to practise pronunciation,  we go to our story segment, where we experience a parent's emotional journey on their child's first day of school. From feelings of anxiety and pride to the bittersweet moment of letting go, this story encapsulates the essence of today's vocabulary.
