Colours of Autumn
Can you feel the seasons changing? 🍂 As autumn approaches in the Northern Hemisphere, the landscape will soon be filled with beautiful shades of red, orange, yellow and brown. And if you’re in the Southern Hemisphere, where spring is on its way, come and enjoy a little taste of autumn with us anyway!
🍁 So, this week, we’re celebrating the colours of autumn with Spanish activities inspired by nature, seasonal landscapes and the great outdoors.
Silvia and I have an interesting podcast for you where we talk about autumn clothes to help you improve your listening skills and familiarise yourself with vocabulary related to autumn clothing, ideal for this time of year for some of us, don´t you think?
Continue with our bilingual text about a mum who is trying to make the most of an autumn day with her kids in a nearby park. Then, explore autumn with our fill-in-the-blanks activity about El Toloño and the Ebro River valley while you practise verbs with prepositions.
