Hi kathrine, the best way to learn English is watching katharine`s video and listen her lessons I watching recantly film there is dawn chorus Sank you so much.

[@bahuynhhuu9597]

all I can only say, each your video is captivating viewers from start to finish.

[@crinam4529]

Dear Katharine I need to tell you this! I absolutely love your channel. I've been learning English since I was 12 and I am now in my late 30s and still learning😅 (I know this process will never stop as the language is constantly changing) I say this because I have watched so many channels and I am grateful for all but yours has something different something unique, it's got so much soul in it and it makes me come back again. I think it is your positive energy (youre an amazing teacher of course), and you don't just teach you send so much more than content. It's a joy watching and listening to you! I think I also find myself a lot in so many of the things you like that you mention, and i love how you teach the English language together with the culture and the seaasons! ❤

[@englishwithkatharine]

Loveeeee your comment 😊☺️

[@RareDiseases493]

Through my experience in the field of voiceover, when I watched your videos and heard your voice, I feel that you have a talent in voiceover, your way of giving, and your tone of voice really qualifies you to be a creative and professional voice commentator in the field❤❤

[@englishwithkatharine]

Wow that is a really lovely and personal comment 😊😊😊

[@safetynudge9026]

Why just stop at Voice over ? If a really good acting agent is watching these videos, he should fall over himself to try her for a film

Hi Katherine. We have very long term of balmy evenings in Denizli to go out for dinner or in our houses at the balconies alongside from spring to autumn. I welcome you come over Turkey visit us and see beautiful places throughout the country.

[@fabrice9252]

How beautiful Katharine! 🤗Your 'I love the rain' inspired me a 'little' poem. Hope you like it! 🙂 ~~~~~ The rain at my window - I love the rain ~~~~~ I love the rain that you can feel still invisible and silent but which we smell and we can sense though clandestine and secretive I love the rain that moves forward in her cortege of turbulence Her puffy clouds that swirl and dance changing her face a thousand times I love the raindrops that commence sparse and discreet in their prelude then increase in exuberance to arrive at their plenitude I like the rain slightly misty Her graying and nebulous veil Her little beads of silky tears forming a vaporous curtain I love the rain and her silence sliding down along my windows portraying in her transparence fugitive and changing tableaux I love the rain and her music the lil' drops falling on my tiles composing tunes so magical that the sky seems a symphonic I love erratic rain torrents Playing hooky, playing truant grooming pudibulous flowers denuding beneath the gutters I love the rain that pops and hops rippling onto laneway's puddles the pure flashes that she scatters are like the splashing of sparkles I love rain of expectation when the earth beseeching heaven, desp'rate with thirst and pain and plight awaits her like a honey bath I love the rain that heals and scars the wounds of the body and soul that soothes and champagnizes the melancholy and the tears I love the rain of mousseline delicate, pale, light and soothing; The one druming and thumping down when Jupiter is mad and frowns I love the rain and her caress whose subtle touches and movements have the elegance and finesse of virginal epanchements I love the rain and her odors her aromas ineffable of earth, of tar and petrichor ephemeral, indelible I love the rain and her landscapes all in shades of watercolor the chiaroscuro of her veil painting a more glorious nature I love the rain that awakes me purifying my night, my eyes that lulls my sleep, softens my nap and makes me fall asleep happy I love the rain that entertains that puts cats to the window panes making them their milk abandon maybe they'll lap up later on I love the rain we're all ears for that plays and laughs, chimes and bellows The one that trickles drop by drop that we wait for and that echoes I love the rain that moves away gradually drying her wails while the birdies join peacefully the azure that makes them happy I love the timeless rain alive the rain of dreams and desires Rain of the original world O dear rain, my water of life. F. 06 05 23. 😘🌹❤🌦🌧🌨☂ Thanks for the wonderful lesson. Bisous.

Hello from France ! Thank you for this lovely (and helpful) video ! I love spring too. It's my favourite season of the year with summer of course but spring is "the beginning" of all.... and I was born in june so spring is very important for me 😆 Bouquet is definitively a French word.

@@englishwithkatharine " Prego !" (That's Italian) You are like a mysteriously smiling Britain's " Mona Lisa ", and you make me feel like an Italian artist in spring, But to tell you a secret , I couldn't pronounce these long words for the life of me , like only a native speaker can. So I 've a lot to practice .

[@mariegondard]

Hi Katharine, Marie here! Bouquet is French. And as many French words it comes from latin. In latin: boscum, meaning many trees. So the meaning has changed a bit through the ages becoming an assembly of flowers.

[@englishwithkatharine]

Thank you Marie 🙏🙏🙏😊😊😊

~~~~ Butterflies ~~~~ Of all the beautiful things We miss in the winter cold What do you like best? - Me, roses; - Me, the look of a lush green meadow; - Me, the blond bouncing harvest, Hair of furrows and swaths; - Me, the singing nightingale; - And me, the gorgeous butterflies! The butterfly, stemless flower, That flutters, That we gather in a network; In the infinite nature, Flickering harmonies Between plants and birdies! When the superb summer returns, I go in meadows, in the sun And I lie down in the long grass, Lost in this great and verdant shroud. On my head upturned, There, each in turn, Passes like a thought Of Poetry or Love! Here is the 'Faun butterfly', Yellow and black; Here's the azure "March", Waving sparks On his wings delicate Of rich, moiré velvet. Behold the swift 'Vulcan', Flying like a nestling His splendid black wing Wears a great crimson ribbon. Gosh! the 'Soufré', in spaces, Like a flash has gleamed But the cheerful "Nacré" passes, And all I see is him! Like a silk fan, he unfurls His mantle strewn with silver; And his colorful robe holds A greenish and changing gold. Here is the 'Zebra Machaon', Nicely striped of black and fawn The 'Mourning', funeral gown And the fair 'Blue-Striped Mirror'; Here's the 'Dead Leaf', the 'Morpho' The 'Big Blue' and the 'Morio', The 'Peacock of day' which carries An eye of fire on each wing! But the evening browns our plains; A noisy rise, here' s the 'Phalène' And the 'Sphinxe' with dark colors, Flutters and whirls in the shadows Now this is the 'Pink-Eyed Peacock' On a greyish background drawn Who only flies at close of night, Like the bats! The 'Bombice of the privet', Striped with yellow and zephyr; 'Oak butterfly', Tortoiseshell That doesn't die in winter! Here is the 'Sphinx' with the head Of a scary skeleton, White-painted on black background; The one that the villagers dread To see flying when twilight comes... I don't so much like the moths, Of the night the somber hosts O'er the plains or the homes' lights From seven untill midnight; But you, butterflies I love, Light butterflies of the day, All in you is an emblem Of Poetry and of Love! But, woe to you, dear 'flies lovely! 'Battus', beware for your beauty!... A finger, brushing your corset, Has crumpled, alas!, the velvet!... Philenor, a sweet young girl Piercing your hearts with a needle Hands delicate, with the soft smile, Gazes at you, the eye surprised... Your soft name is immortalized Above features neatly compiled And your too long legs are chopped off By the glazed nail that bites them off, Your antennae curl up and bend In the pictural throes of death... F. 11/01/23 To Katherine 🌹❤🦋
