As usual I am teaching you English that is IN USE today, used by my friends and family and people I come across in life. The accent is the British Accent usually found in the Southern part of England which is called Modern Received Pronunciation. I hope you enjoy my video!

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❤❤

Katharine, your channel is making my spring so flourishing! 🌱🤩🙏🏻 Thanks a lot 💚💚

[pattycandle]

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. Have a nice spring day ! 🍓🍒🌷

[bahuynhhuu]

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

[benedettobruno]

Definitely the most soothing voice among all the English teachers I've come across on YouTube.

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! ❤

[sharonerhuchannel]

Absolutely. I love the dawn chorus outside my flat! In winter, I would say it starts at 8 in the morning, so I don't want to get up early in winter!

[jimmymars]

Dear K:Your resplendant and enchanting atmosphere of teaching words ignites the feelings to go out for a walk in up country in England.

[laiwahchoi]

Spring is beautiful here in the UK, the cherry blossom, roses are flourishing and tulips are thriving. There are vibrant colours everywhere.

[lauraclavenzani-hlmy]

I love your pronunciation Katharine. I'm learning English and your phonetic is great for me. Thanks. I'm Laura from Argentina.

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.

[stephaneberrebi]

Wonderful ! so cheerful ! makes you yearn for the British countryside at springtime !

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.

The pink denim jacket really suits you and makes you a muse, and is the epitome of a Japanese cherry tree in full bloom .
A quintessential and vibrant harbinger of spring and masterpiece in this video.
