E201: 🎙️ Welcome to The English Like a Native Podcast, hosted by me, Anna. Join us for Week 19, Day 1 of Your English Five a Day, where we delve into five essential pieces of vocabulary to enhance your language skills.

🌟 Today, we begin with the nouns "hardship" and "realm". Then, we encounter the adjective "horrendous". And we finish with not just one, but two idioms, "defying the odds" and "on the cards".

👸 After some pronunciation practice and a quick recap, I share a story of resilience: a young girl from Birmingham overcoming poverty to become Miss Europe. Through hardship and determination, she defies the odds, reminding us that success is always within reach.
