Episode 27 - Intermediate: Different Seasons Bring Different Feelings About The Weather

Different Seasons Bring Different Feelings About the Weather

Weather might seem like just a small part of life, but it actually influences what we wear, where we go, what we do—and even how we feel. In this intermediate-level episode, Christine shares a reflective story about how each season shapes daily life, emotions, and routines.

From the heat and sudden rain of summer, to the cool wind of autumn, the quiet of winter, and the unpredictability of spring, you’ll learn natural ways to describe seasons, feelings, and habits in Chinese.

You’ll also pick up useful patterns to express how weather affects your mood and actions—like 「天氣冷，我就…」(When it’s cold, I…) or 「下雨的時候，我會…」(When it rains, I…).

Perfect for learners around HSK 3–4, ideal for those building natural fluency through real-life reflection and emotion-based storytelling.
