Spring vocabulary
Spring has started as you might see outside of the window. Some say that this is “fool spring” because there is a high possibility that the snow and cold will return. But let’s enjoy the sun while we can and talk about some spring vocabulary. Spring is called pavasaris. And we will look at some other useful vocabulary when talking about spring.

- Pavasaris (Spring)

Pavasarī cilvēkiem patīk doties pastaigās un baudīt sauli. Dārza darbi sākas jau pat marta. Putni atgriežas no saviem talajiem pārlidojumiem. Lauki un ezeri ir labas vietas , kur nodoties putnu vērošanai. Piknika organizēšana ir populāra pilsētnieku vidū. Un kā gan labak pavadīt brīvdienas ka doties izbraucienā ar velosipēdu?
