Spring has sprung! Last week it snowed in Munich, but this week the weather is warmer and sunnier. I love Frühling (Spring): the trees start to blossom, the birds start to chirp and the sun rises earlier in the morning! Here’s a simple vocabulary post to get you in the mood for the season.

In Munich there is also Frühlingsfest (Spring festival) which is similar to Oktoberfest (also held at Theresienwiese – the same place where Oktoberfest is) but a lot smaller.

Which season do you like the most? In my next post I’ll be writing about the much loved Spargelsaison (asparagus season) and how the Germans usually eat it!
Thanks for reading,
