Hello and welcome to the English like a native podcast.
My name is Anna and you're listening to week 11, day 2 of your English 5 a day.
The second season.
With this series we are getting you unstuck by helping you to progress.
Building a daily habit is the first step, so ensure that you're tuning in on a regular basis.
These episodes release every day from Monday to Friday.
So let's begin with our snapshot, a little glimpse of what's to come.
Listen closely.
Because our budget was tight this year,
we decided against an all-inclusive resort and instead found a charming hostel off the beaten track in a small coastal village.
The hostel lacked the luxury amenities we were used to,
but it made up for it with its friendly atmosphere and authentic local experiences by the end of our holiday.
We realise
that sometimes the most memorable adventures happen when you step outside your comfort zone and connect with fellow travellers.
Okie dokie, let's dive into some of the words and phrases that you heard.
Starting with the idiom, off the beaten track.
Off the beaten track.
Off, oh double F, the beaten B-E-A-T-E-N.
Track, T-R-A-C-K.
Off the beaten track.
