english with Lucy today I’ve got a
spring in my step
it feels like spring is finally arriving
so today I have got five spring related
idioms for you and I’m doing this in
collaboration with lingo des who have a
fabulous new blog post all about these
spring idioms so if you want more
information you can read that and also
spring idioms in loads of other
languages as well their blog is a really
useful resource I definitely recommend

description below and they’ve also given
me a 50 euro discount from your first

des then check the card up here but it’s
basically an online a language academy
with loads of fantastic native teachers

really really quickly so IE b1 to b2 and
the subscription packages include a
combination of both private and group
lessons so definitely check that out in
the description right let’s get started
with the spring related idioms
now the first idiom is no spring chicken
and if you describe somebody as no
spring chicken it means that they are no
longer young it comes from when farmers
could charge much higher prices for
chickens born in the spring because they
were fresher and they hadn’t had to live
through all the winter months so it’s
not a particularly nice thing to say
about somebody if somebody described me
as a no spring chicken I would be a
little bit offended now the next one is
the grass is always greener on the other
side and I actually included this in a
video that I made about proverbs because
it’s quite a good one to live by
then but it’s an expression that we say
all the time the grass is always greener
the grass is greener the full version of
this is the grass is always greener on
the other side of the fence and it means
your neighbors grass always looks
greener than your grass so you always
tend to envy what other people have and
you don’t actually appreciate how good
what you have really is so from your
perspective it might look like they have
a perfect life but once you change to
their side of the fence they might think
think you have a perfect life now the
next spring idiom is lovely this one is
a ray of sunshine and this is a really
lovely way of describing somebody who is
like the Sun they make things grow they
make you feel happy they’re warm it’s
just a really nice way of describing a
warm friendly happy positive person so I
would say that my mum is a ray of
sunshine she always makes me feel better
and people just enjoy being around her
now number four is spring fever and
spring fever is that feeling of
restlessness just before summer when the
weather is starting to get nicer flowers
are coming out you want to you want to
go outside and be active and you get a
bit energetic it doesn’t just have to be
used in spring though it can be used to
describe the feeling that you have in
spring I definitely get spring fever
although I have met a few people that
seem to get spring fatigue when they
suddenly get really tired just before
summer but the idiom is spring fever
the final idiom a really lovely one
again is to be full of the joys of
spring spring is supposedly one of the
most joyful months there are lambs
flowers you know you’re it’s a very
quick and drastic shift from very cold
harsh weather to suddenly everything
sunny and green so if somebody is a very
happy and enthusiastic person you can
describe them as being full of the joys
of spring so if somebody is constantly
happy enthusiastic positive smiling
laughing then they are full of the joys
of spring
