happy
? What about sad
? In today’s lesson you’ll learn LOTS of different ways to describe how you’re feeling. When you’re learning a language, it’s important to have a broad vocabulary. Whether you’re writing an essay or you’re speaking with your boss, using more interesting and expressive vocabulary will make your sentences clearer, and you’ll sound more intelligent, too. Try using the adjectives in this lesson instead of ordinary ones at work, school, or in the writing and speaking sections of exams like the IELTS, TOEFL, or CAE. You’ll also learn some common expressions and idioms that native speakers use to talk about their mood, like over the moon
, happy bunny
, and down in the dumps
.

Hello Jill
Thank you for your the good lesson. I like your way of teaching, your voice sounds very soft and it’s easy to follow the meanings.
In my country we use sometimes when we feel happy the expression “I am in seventh heaven!” Is it common to use it in English too?
Thanks for sharing these info
Thanks Gill !?
Hi Gill,
Thanks a lot for your clearly explanation, I feel delighted after watched your lessons, it’s great! One question is the title ‘Improve Your Vocabulary: 23 words for talking about feeling good or bad’ , but I just find 22 words in whiteboard, if one more word lost? ;-)
so can we say this? the more syllables the word has, the stronger it becomes in meaning.. as you said for deligted adjective to explain that we feel in a good mood. and can we say flying on air? if we say this, native speakers will understand us? thank you for this useful word video
