Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Everyday English Academy,

where we make English simple and enjoyable.

I'm Sarah.

And I'm Mike.

Hello to all of our wonderful listeners wherever you are in the world right now.

So, Mike, have you been feeling different this week?

Different.

How?

Like good for no real reason.

Actually, yes.

Right?

I woke up on Tuesday and I just felt awake.

Actually awake.

Not the fake awake where you're just moving around waiting for coffee to fix you.

I went for a walk after work yesterday and I didn't even think about it.

I just went.

That is so unlike you.

I know.

I'm a little suspicious of myself, honestly.

I think I know what's happening to us.

What?

Spring.

Spring?

Spring!

The sun is staying longer,

everything outside is changing, and suddenly we're both acting like completely different people.

That is either beautiful or slightly worrying.

Probably both.

So, today we are talking about spring.

The words, the feelings, the weather,

everything you need to talk about this season in natural English.

And I have a question for you right now before we even start.

Are you a spring person?

Do you love it when spring arrives?

Tell us in the comments.

We want to know.

Yes.

One sentence is enough.

I love spring because… just try it.

Okay, Mike, let's start with this feeling,

this mysterious good mood, because I don't think it's just us.

No, I really don't think it is.

I think spring does something to people,

like a switch turns on somewhere.

Yes, and the funny thing is,

nothing big has changed in my life.

Same job, same apartment, same routine.

But this week, I just feel lighter.

Lighter is a perfect word for it.

And actually, there is a real phrase for this feeling.

It's called spring fever.

Spring fever?

That sounds like a sickness.

It sounds like one, but it's actually a good thing.

Spring fever is that restless,

excited feeling you get when spring arrives.

You suddenly want to do things, go places, change things.

Oh, that is exactly what I have.

I made a list of things I want to do this month.

A long list.

How long?

Very long.

Spring fever, classic.

You can say, I have spring fever.

I can't stop making plans.

Or, every year when spring comes,

I get spring fever and I want to change everything about my life.

And then by June, you've done maybe two things on the list.

Maybe two.

But the feeling is real.

And I think it's connected to something simple.

The sun.

Yes.

The days are longer now.

You finish work and it's still light outside.

That changes everything.

In winter, I come home and it's already dark,

and I think, well, the day is over.

But now you come home and there's still light,

and you think, I could still do something.

I could go for a walk.

I could sit outside.

I could be a real human being.

Instead of just surviving until bedtime.

Exactly.

And speaking of going outside,

the nature right now, have you noticed?

Oh, completely.

Everything is just green.

Really deeply green.

There's actually a great word for it.

Lush.

When we say something is lush,

we mean it's very green and full of life.

Thick and rich looking.

Like the grass in the park right now.

It looks almost too green.

Like someone painted it.

Yes.

100

The garden looks so lush after all the spring rain.

101

It's a lovely word.

102

And the trees.

103

They went from completely empty to suddenly full in what felt like one week.

104

It really does happen fast.

105

You stop noticing for a few days,

106

and then you look outside and think,

107

where did all of that come from?

108

And the colors, not just green, pink, yellow, white.

109

So vibrant.

110

Vibrant.

111

What does that mean exactly?

112

Vibrant means bright, colorful, and full of energy.

113

It's a great word for describing spring nature.

114

The flowers are so vibrant right now.

115

Or, the park looks so vibrant this time of year.

116

I like that word.

117

It sounds like the color itself is alive.

118

That's exactly what it means.

119

And being around all of that color and life,

120

it genuinely changes your mood.

121

It really does.

122

Even just walking past a garden with flowers, you feel uplifted.

123

Uplifting, yes.

124

When something is uplifting, it makes you feel happier and more energetic.

125

That walk was so uplifting.

126

Or spring mornings are so uplifting.

127

I used to think people were exaggerating when they talked about nature improving your mood,

128

but I genuinely believe it now.

129

It's not an exaggeration at all.

130

There's a reason everyone seems happier in spring.

131

Although, the weather doesn't always cooperate.

132

Oh no, here we go.

133

Because spring weather is tricky.

134

Very tricky.

135

And there's actually a perfect word for it.

136

Deceiving.

137

Deceiving?

138

When something is deceiving, it looks one way but feels completely different.

139

And spring weather is the most deceiving weather of the whole year.

140

Yes.

141

You look outside in the morning,

142

blue sky, sun is out, you think, beautiful day.

143

You leave the house in a light jacket.

144

And then the wind hits you and you immediately regret every decision you made.

145

Because it looks warm, but it is absolutely not warm.

146

The weather in spring is so deceiving.

147

It looked sunny, but it was freezing outside.

148

Exactly.

149

And the mornings especially.

150

Spring mornings can be really brisk.

151

Brisk.

152

That's a nice word.

153

What does it mean?

154

Brisk means cool and fresh in a way that actually wakes you up.

155

It's not unpleasant cold.

156

It's that sharp, clean morning feeling.

157

Oh, I know that feeling.

158

You step outside and you take a breath and your whole body just wakes up.

159

Exactly.

160

I went for a brisk morning walk,

161

and I felt amazing after.

162

It has a positive energy to it.

163

I like brisk.

164

It sounds exactly like what it means.

165

Right?

166

And then, of course, there's the rain,

167

because spring is beautiful, but also wet.

168

Very wet.

169

There's actually a classic English expression for this, April showers.

170

April showers.

171

So just rain in April?

172

Yes.

173

In English, we call spring rain April showers.

174

And there's a longer saying that goes,

175

April showers bring May flowers.

176

Oh, so the rain in April is what makes everything beautiful in May.

177

Exactly.

178

The rain is actually the reason everything looks so lush and vibrant.

179

So even when it's raining,

180

you can think, April showers, good things are coming.

181

That's a nice way to think about it.

182

Instead of just being annoyed.

183

Much more positive.

184

Okay, so spring makes us feel good,

185

nature looks vibrant, the weather is deceiving and sometimes rainy.

186

What else happens in spring?

187

The urge to change things.

188

Oh, say more.

189

You know that feeling where you look around your home and suddenly everything feels wrong?

190

Too dark, too heavy, too full of stuff?

191

Yes.

192

I had that last weekend.

193

I walked into my living room and I just thought,

194

this room needs to change.

195

That is such a spring feeling.

196

Spring makes you want to revamp everything.

197

Revamp?

198

I like that word.

199

To revamp something means to give it a fresh new look or feel.

200

I revamped my whole bedroom.

201

Or I want to revamp my morning routine this spring.

202

It's stronger than just change, right?

203

It sounds more exciting.

204

Exactly.

205

It has that sense of renewal.

206

And I did this last week.

207

I moved some furniture around,

208

got some new cushions, opened all the windows.

209

Did it work?

210

It felt like a completely different apartment.

211

I genuinely felt better just sitting in it.

212

I believe that.

213

And I think this is connected to something else.

214

The need to get rid of things.

215

Yes, all the odds and ends you've been collecting all winter.

216

Odds and ends?

217

What does that mean?

218

Odds and ends are all those random,

219

small things that have piled up with no real purpose.

220

You don't know exactly why you have them, they're just there.

221

Oh, I have so many odds and ends.

222

Random cables, old magazines, things I bought and never used.

223

We all have them.

224

I spent Sunday getting rid of all the odds and ends I'd collected over winter.

225

Or my kitchen drawer is full of odds and ends that I really need to sort out.

226

That drawer.

227

Everyone has that drawer.

228

The drawer where things go to disappear forever.

229

Exactly.

230

And listeners, do you get this urge in spring to revamp your space and get rid of all the odds and ends?

231

Tell us in the comments.

232

Or are you happy leaving everything exactly as it is?

233

I want to know too,

234

because I feel like this is very common,

235

but nobody talks about it.

236

It really is.

237

And I think it's connected to something bigger.

238

The way spring just makes you feel renewed.

239

Yes.

240

There's a word for that feeling, right?

241

When you feel completely new again.

242

Rejuvenate.

243

When you feel rejuvenated, you feel completely renewed and full of fresh energy.

244

Like everything got reset.

245

That's exactly the feeling.

246

After my first weekend outside in spring, I felt completely rejuvenated.

247

Or there's something about spring that rejuvenates me every year, no matter what.

248

And I think that's why spring feels more like a fresh start than January ever does.

249

Oh, that is so true.

250

Everyone talks about January as the new beginning.

251

New year, new me.

252

But January is cold and dark and honestly exhausting.

253

January does not feel like a new beginning.

254

January feels like a punishment.

255

Exactly.

256

But spring?

257

Spring actually feels like something is starting.

258

Because nature agrees with you.

259

Everything around you is actually beginning again.

260

It's not just a date on a calendar.

261

The world looks different.

262

You feel different.

263

It makes sense to start something new.

264

And I think that's why people make more real changes in spring than in January.

265

Do you think that's true?

266

I really do.

267

In January, you're forcing yourself.

268

In spring, you want to.

269

That's spring fever again.

270

Always spring fever.

271

And you know what's interesting?

272

Even people who say they don't care about seasons, spring gets them.

273

It's almost impossible to resist.

274

You step outside on a warm spring morning.

275

The air smells different.

276

Everything looks vibrant and lush.

277

And suddenly you want to go for a walk,

278

call a friend, start a new project.

279

Become a completely different person by next Tuesday.

280

Spring fever is powerful.

281

Very powerful.

282

Okay, let's do a quick review of everything we learned today,

283

because we covered some really useful words.

284

Yes, let's go through them.

285

First one, spring fever.

286

Spring fever is that restless,

287

excited feeling when spring arrives and you suddenly want to do everything at once.

288

I have spring fever.

289

I can't stop making plans.

290

Next, lush, when nature is very green and full of life.

291

The park looks so lush right now.

292

Vibrant, bright, colorful, and full of energy.

293

The flowers are so vibrant this time of year.

294

Uplifting, when something makes you feel happier and more energetic.

295

That morning walk was so uplifting.

296

Deceiving.

297

When something looks one way but feels completely different.

298

Spring weather is so deceiving.

299

It looked warm, but it wasn't.

300

Brisk.

301

Cool and fresh in a way that wakes you up.

302

I love a brisk morning walk in spring.

303

April showers.

304

The rain that typically comes in spring.

305

April showers bring May flowers.

306

Revamp.

307

To give something a fresh new look or feel.

308

I want to revamp my whole apartment this spring.

309

Odds and ends.

310

Random small things with no real purpose that have piled up.

311

I need to get rid of all these odds and ends.

312

And finally, rejuvenate.

313

to feel completely renewed and full of fresh energy.

314

Spring always rejuvenates me.

315

Those are really useful words,

316

not just for spring, for talking about change,

317

nature, mood, and your home.

318

And now our question for you.

319

What is the first thing you do when spring arrives where you live?

320

Do you go outside?

321

Do you revamp your space?

322

Do you make a very long list of plans like Mike?

323

My list is very organized, thank you.

324

Write it in the comments.

325

One or two sentences in English.

326

Even something simple like, When spring arrives,

327

I always open all my windows, is perfect practice.

328

We read every comment.

329

Seriously, we love hearing about your lives from all over the world.
