Learn the English Phrases "fall colours" and "black and white"

In this English lesson, I wanted to help

you learn the English phrase fall colors.

If you live in a country where the leaves on

the trees turn a different color in the fall, in

the autumn, we call those the fall colors.

I'm not sure if you can see behind

me, this tree is still green, but way

in the distance, we'll walk over there later.

You can see that there are some fall colors.

Those trees are starting to turn

orange and brown and yellow.

So we call those fall colors.

So when you see trees that have brown leaves and orange

leaves and red leaves and yellow leaves in the fall, in

the autumn, we say, those are the fall colors.

The other phrase I wanted to teach

you today is black and white.

And I'm pretty sure you know what this means.

A long time ago, TV used to only be black and white.

When you took a picture, it was black and white.

I think, in the...

Well, I'm not going to say the date, but when I

was a kid, we had a black and white TV for

a little bit, and then our other TV was color.

We had two TVs.

One was on the computer, I think, and it was

black and white, and then the other one was color.

But black and white simply means there is no color.

So to review, fall colors refer

to the beautiful fall colors.

If I move way out of the way, maybe you can see them.

Maybe they'll come into focus.

And when something is in black

and white, it has no color.

So old photos are sometimes black and white,

and old movies are sometimes black and white,

and they're really nice to go and watch.

But hey, let's look at a comment

from a previous video about this.

Let me find the comment, and maybe we can get Oscar.

Oscar, can you come over here?

Oscar, come here pup.

Hey, Oscar. Oscar, come. Come here.

No, not you.

I don't think it's going to work.

But, hey, this is from Mohd.

I kept looking at the chair in the back

over and over, and I couldn't make out whether

that was a pumpkin or a basketball.

Wait, maybe it was just Oscar all curled up in there.

Oh, no, you didn't dye his fur orange, did you, Bob?

Poor are Oscar like, I know you're crazy about that

color and all, but that'd be some next level madness.

And my response, it's a pumpkin.

Yeah, it's a pumpkin.

I think my son got it.

I think when he was walking out of the grocery

store, if you gave a donation, a food item for

the food bank, they gave you a pumpkin. So very cool.

So thanks, Mohd, for that comment.

And by the way, Oscar is kind of a brownish orange.

I didn't dye him.

And Walter is black and white.

He's a black dog with some white spots.

We're getting some nice fall wind out here.

So anyways, I said I would walk this way.

Let's have a look over here across the river.

You can see some orange.

It's actually nicer when it's a sunny out.

Right now it's starting to rain, so

it's harder to see the fall colors.

If I do this, maybe you can see them a bit better.

Take that lens off.

Way in the distance, I can

see some really nice fall colors.

I'll zoom in when I go back inside and edit this.

Put my wide angle lens back on, but I'm not sure

how well you're going to be able to see it.

Maybe we'll walk over here and have a look as well.

Fall colors.

Jen and I have not gone for a

hike yet to see the fall colors.

We might do that this coming weekend.

I'm also going on a school trip this

week, so with my students, maybe we'll go

and see some of the fall colors.

Here's some trees that have some yellow leaves.

There are some leaves in the air

as well, just slowly starting to fall.

If you're wondering why we call it fall, that's part

of the reason leaves start to fall off the trees.

Even these trees aren't quite as green

as they were a week ago.

We had some nice frost two nights in a row.

And the trees start to turn color.

You start to see the fall colors.

So anyways, a nice colorful day out here on the farm.

Thanks for watching. I'll see you in a couple

days with another short English lesson. Bye.
