This week's song heralds in the spring season. It is a cheerful song celebrating the return of the birds and their joyous songs of springtime. In this post, I will be teaching you a bit of German vocabulary to go along with the spring season.


Let's start with the months and seasons of the year in German and English.

Spring is known for several types of weather. It rains more often. It is also sunny more often. There are occational rain showers followed by clear, sunny skies and even the occational rainbow. Here is a list of weather vocabulary you might need in this season with a few example sentences.
