Your English Five a Day #14.3

E168: 🎙️ Welcome back to The English Like a Native Podcast with your host Anna! Get ready for Week 14, Day 3 of Your English Five a Day, where we delve into five intriguing words or phrases to boost your vocabulary.

🍴 Today we step into the kitchen and take a look at words ranging from culinary terms to idiomatic expressions. Our list starts with the verb "marinate". Next are two loanwords borrowed from other languages; the adjective and adverb "al dente" and the noun "connoisseur".  Moving on to the fourth item on the list, which is the fun idiom "cool as a cucumber", and finally we finish off the list with the phrasal verb "dig in".

🍝 In today's tale, we visit a dinner party enthusiast who tries their hand at catering for a friend's wedding. Despite not being much of a food connoisseur and encountering a few bumps in the road, they manage to deliver a delicious meal and a successful event.
