Everyday English with James (Advanced Native English Listening Practice)

Winter is coming, but enjoy it anyway!


Listen Later

The days are drawing in, and the air carries that sharp, secret chill that only winter brings.
In this episode, I talk about the quiet shift from light to dark.
The way people start to complain, to retreat, to wait for something better.
But what if we didn’t? What if winter wasn’t a curse, but a pause? A slow breath before the next bloom?
This is a reflection on rhythm, rest, and how learning to live with the cold might just teach us how to live with ourselves.
