Talking About July in English | Easy English Podcast | Everyday English Academy

Let's practise talking about July in English, from that half-gone-year feeling to the long, sweaty afternoons. Sarah and Mike chat slowly about what summer really feels like, the good and the sticky, so you can join a real conversation about the weather and the season. It is the kind of everyday English you need when a friend asks how you are coping with the heat.

Ever run out of words to describe a hot, sticky day? In this relaxed daily English conversation you'll learn how to say your skin feels clammy, describe an oppressive summer afternoon, talk about hay fever and pollen, mention that the year is flying by, and use handy phrases like time off, make the most of it, and look forward to.

This episode is perfect for B1 English learners who want to build everyday vocabulary for talking about the weather, summer plans, and how the heat makes them feel in real conversations.

💡 Tip: When July feels hot and sticky, say "It's so clammy today" to a friend this week.
