E356: 🎙️ Welcome to The English Like a Native Podcast, your go-to resource for enhancing your English listening skills and expanding your active vocabulary. I'm Anna, and you're listening to Week 43, Day 2 of Your English Five a Day.

😬 Today’s focus is on expanding your vocabulary with five essential terms, the first of which is the idiom "in line for". Then, we move on to the phrase "on edge" and then explore another idiom, "odd one out". After that, we delve into the adjective "insecure", and last but not least, the idiom "a step up".

👨🏽‍💻️ After some quick pronunciation practice and a recap to test your memory, we visit Graham in today's story, who is a self-taught programmer anxiously awaiting news about a promotion that would mark a significant step up in his career. Despite feeling like the odd one out compared to his degree-holding colleagues, his dedication makes him a strong candidate. Will he get the job?
