E127: 🎙️ Welcome to The English Like a Native Podcast! I'm Anna, your host, and you're tuned in to Week Eight, Day Three of Your English Five a Day series. We're on a linguistic journey through five enriching vocabulary pieces every weekday. First up today are the adjectives "recurring" and "ironic". Number three is the noun "perception", which is followed by another noun, "couch potato". 🥔 Finally, we look at the phrasal verb "squeeze in".

In our story, meet Marissa, a busy mother juggling work, family, and her love for flower arranging. Neglecting her hobby, she realised it was time to squeeze it into her routine. Ironically, the joy she sought was in what she'd overlooked. Her perception shifted, finally understanding the importance of those small moments of happiness.
