E350: 🎙️ Welcome to The English Like a Native Podcast, where you're listening to me, your host, Anna, on Week 42, Day 2 of Your English Five a Day. This episode is jam-packed with idioms and vocabulary designed to boost your English listening and speaking skills.

👉🏼 Today's list starts with the idiom "keep things running smoothly", followed by another idiom "not lift a finger". Next on the list, we see another idiom with the word 'finger': "point the finger at someone". After that, we delve into the adjective "obstinate" and the final item on today's list is the idiom "point taken".

🧹🧽 We'll practise pronunciation together and use these terms in a story that brings them to life. In that story, we'll see Annabel, who leaves her unhelpful family to manage the household on their own. They quickly realise how much she does for them. Upon her return, will they make a real effort to share the responsibilities or will things go back to how they were before?
