They speak slowly and clearly, so you can follow a real daily English conversation about heat, holidays and that strange feeling that the summer has flown by. If you have ever wanted to answer "How's your summer going?" with more than one word, this one is for you. Do you know how to describe really hot weather in English without saying "very hot" five times? Listening along, you'll learn the difference between stifling, balmy and lukewarm, how to say you're parched after a walk in the sun, how to talk about plans you keep putting it off, how to explain that a bakery is closed for the season, and how to tell a friend you're staying put in the city this year. This episode is perfect for B1 English learners who want to talk about hot weather, summer plans and end-of-season feelings in natural everyday English. 💡 Tip: After the episode, describe today's heat aloud in one sentence using stifling or parched. ⏱️ Chapters 0:00 Introduction 0:24 Talk About August in English 4:37 Everyday Words for Describing Hot Weather 11:31 Talking About Unfinished Plans with Still, Yet, Already 14:17 Describing Busy and Quiet Streets 20:54 Asking About Time Off and Holidays 23:05 Speaking Practice 31:05 Vocabulary Review & Next Episode 📚 Vocabulary in this episode • stifling: so hot it's hard to breathe • balmy: gently warm, usually in the evening • peak: the busiest or highest point • parched: very thirsty, or very dry • lukewarm: only a little warm, not hot or cold • savor: e…","meta_description":"Talking About August in English | Easy English Podcast | Everyday English Academy August has its own vocabulary in English, and today Sarah and Mike talk…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2179,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/everyday-english-academy-7784342/episodes/talking-about-august-in-english-easy-english-podcast/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/everyday-english-academy-7784342/talking-about-august-in-english-easy-english-podcast.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
