The first step, find out your exact level and where the breakdown is happening. Take our quick free fluency quiz at allearsenglish.com slash fluency score.

It is getting warmer. I am excited. Everything is good.

That's right. So today, you are going to hear the first episode in this really fun summer series with amazing summertime expressions. All right. Are we ready for the episode, Aubrey? Yes. All right. Enjoy. Enjoy.
Hello, Michelle. How you doing? Are you feeling summery?
I am. Oh my gosh. You know how much I complain about the cold, Lindsay. You've pointed it out before.
What is actually your favorite season, Michelle? Would you say it's winter, summer, spring, fall?
It's a good question. I guess I'm going to have to go with like the month of... Maybe the month of May. Can I just choose one month?
Yeah, sure. You can change the question. Okay. No, May is a really nice month. I really like May and October. I like October too because it's crisp.
What phrases explain why targeted listening matters for English learners?
You know, it's really nice.
It's like cooling down, but it's not too cold some days maybe. And you're like, ooh, a sweater. And then like by the time, you know, you're past October, you're like, oh... Oh no.
Yeah. I also like it because it's like cool leather jacket weather. You know what I mean? You can wear your leather jacket. You don't have to be in like a, you know, puffy, awful jacket and you don't, and you're not in a t-shirt suit. Right. Exactly.
That's how I always feel. I, when I was little, I had, well, a teenager, I had like, it was a puffy silver, you know, one of those. And I just felt like an astronaut all the time.
That's true. Winter clothing is not. I don't know if it's really that fashionable, but I don't even know fashion, to be honest. So maybe we should get off that topic.
Never mind. Yeah. So but do you have a favorite season or are we just going with those two months for the two of us?
Maybe the fall. No, I'm going to say summer because just because the possibilities are endless in the summer. You can travel abroad. You can stay home. You can do pretty much anything. It's also sometimes lighter work wise. Like we try to take it easy in the summer. So I'd say summer is my favorite season.
Yeah. Yeah. I'd say... Okay. Overall, I'll agree with you, but I do get very hot anyway. You do. I don't like to be too hot and I don't like to be too cold.
Yeah. True, true, true.
So, but today... Well, we're... approaching uh july 4th already i know and i know lindsey this is your favorite holiday i know this about you right you love the fourth of july of course i know after seven years you should remember by now i know i do love it i love it in case you guys haven't heard i love it because it's so simple
