E262: 🎙️ Welcome to The English Like a Native Podcast, your go-to resource for intermediate to advanced-level English learners. I'm Anna, your host, and today we're delving into a topic that's both ubiquitous and often tiptoed around: age.

🎂 Today, we explore the curious phenomenon of age—how we discuss it, avoid it, and sometimes even celebrate it. From societal norms to personal perspectives, we navigate the intriguing landscape of aging. Join me as we unpack common age-related phrases, from the empowering "life begins at 40" to the playful "you're only as old as you feel."

👵🏽 So, whether you're in your roaring twenties or seasoned seventies, embrace the age you're at with pride and optimism. After all, as we'll discover, age is just a number—a mere footnote in the grand narrative of life.
