where you're going to listen to a conversation about...

where you're going to just listen to natural English.

and get some exposure to English, that's great too.

We've already talked about summer and winter in the past,

and it's just about to go into fall here in the US.

- It's my, well, one of my favorite seasons.

I actually really like the transition from summer to fall.

- Right, so the transition to change from summer to fall.

And summer has been very hot this year, or at times it has.

Where it's been about 90 degrees, high humidity.

Which means it's difficult to go out and do stuff outside

unless you're at a pool or in the shade or by a river.

- So, those are the three things that we like to do.

Shady hikes, going to visit rivers and waterfalls

- Yeah, we spent a lot of time at the pool this summer.

And then fall or autumn is a lot easier to be outside.

- Yeah, I mean, I like many things about fall

that are pretty typical for people to like.

I like the transition to a cozier season.

I like to pull out sweaters and long boots

and to think about a few of the warmer beverages and soups

and things that are more hearty and comforting.

- When it's the summer, you don't want to have a hot stove

cooking something like a soup or a chili,

because we still have fruit and vegetables

but it started to get a little bit cooler at night.

You can tell that the seasons are about to change

- The Equinox is when you have equal hours

And I think it's at the end of September.

Do you know where the word fall originates from?

- Can I make a guess that's probably wrong?

Sorry, where it originated from, as in which country.

- Well, yeah, this is the theory that I learned

where it looks at word usage from the 1950s and now,

For example, the TH sound is going away in London.

So, that TH sound's going away and you can see on a map

where it originates from the sound of the F, which is London

and how it spread it out to the rest of the country.

But in the '50s, people were still saying fall

And the theory is that they had both terms

but autumn won in the UK and fall one in the US

because I think that there are some phrases

that are pretty common in the US that you don't use

Like sometimes you still say thee and thou for example,
