Hi, and welcome to the Espresso English podcast, where you can improve your English in just a few minutes a day.
My name is Shayna, and I'm the teacher at Espresso English.
Make sure to visit the website, EspressoEnglish.net,
where you can get online courses and e-books that will help you learn English even faster.
Let's get started with today's lesson.
Winter just started where I live, so let's learn 50 vocabulary words related to winter and cold weather.
We're going to learn a lot of words on this topic today,
so make sure to download the free lesson PDF by clicking on the link in the video description.
You can save that PDF and use it to help you review and remember the vocabulary more easily.
I've got three categories of winter words, words related to winter weather,
words related to winter clothes, and words related to winter activities.
We'll start with words related to weather.
Of course, we have snow.
When a lot of snow falls quickly, this is called a snowstorm or a blizzard.
And when just a few snowflakes are falling slowly, we call this flurries.
You might also get frost on the windows of your house or car.
Frost is a very thin layer of ice crystals.
To clear a path for your car, you can shovel snow out of your driveway or use a machine called a snowblower.
And cities send vehicles called snow plows to clear the snow from the streets.
Another type of winter weather is sleet.
