Let's Learn English! Topic: Found in the Wild! ☔🌸🐦

0:07 Hello everyone.

0:08 I'm I'm doing my do do do do do song.

0:11 I like to warm up my voice a little bit cuz I

0:13 got to talk for a whole hour yeah during this English lesson.

0:16 So, hello and welcome.

0:19 Let me just make sure everything is working properly.

0:23 I think it is.

0:24 And uh we'll get the lesson started in just

0:27 a moment in the wild this time around.

0:32 Okay, here we go.

0:34 Well, hello and welcome to this English lesson

0:37 which I've titled in the wild spring edition.

0:40 The idea for this lesson came about when I was

0:42 walking around outside and I was seeing and hearing things.

0:46 So, it's not necessarily a lesson about spring,

0:50 but it's certainly a lesson about all of the things that you see

0:53 in my part of the world when it is the season of spring.

0:57 It's very beautiful outside.

0:59 I probably should be doing this lesson outside and walking around with you,

1:03 but that would be impractical.

1:05 So, we'll just do it inside and I'll teach you a lot of words

1:08 and phrases that we uh use in my part of North America in the spring.

1:15 Well, hey.

1:16 Welcome to this lesson everybody.

1:18 Let me just do a few clicky things here to make sure all my stuff is working.

1:22 Hello to Uliana Shenex, Zaki, Sai Sandy.

1:25 Oh, hi Sai Sandy, good to see you.

1:26 Unabi, Aerosmith, Freddy Wolf, Wanda Prado.

1:29 Let me scroll back Aerosmith.

1:31 The app, Vitor.

1:32 Oh, hi Vitor as well.

1:34 Um Kagatza, Helena, Unabi, Uliana, Unsel.

1:39 A lot of U's in a row.

1:40 Wanda Prado is here as well.

1:42 Freddy Wolf.

1:43 I think I'm saying names twice now.

1:44 I think you understand.

1:46 Welcome.

1:46 It's good to see all of you.

1:49 I know I can't actually see you, but it's it's just a phrase we use.

1:52 Um and hi to Bob Johnshak.

1:56 Sometimes it's hard for me to pronounce the names.

1:59 Again, welcome to this lesson.

2:01 If you have questions about the lesson, let's try to stay on topic this time.

2:06 Last week we had a lot of other questions, which is fine.

2:10 Uh but please use the link in the description below or that night bot

2:14 shares occasionally in the chat and I think I've pinned the link there as well.

2:19 Hello to Vivian.

2:20 Hello to Rawachi.

2:22 Hello to Tarus Bridget.

2:25 Shirley Mod Agnes here.

2:26 Hello.

2:27 Hello.

2:27 I'm right on time, says Mod.

2:29 Good to see you.

2:30 Should we get started?

2:32 Maybe.

2:32 Did I say everything I normally say?

2:34 You should use the chat for good English conversations with each other.

2:38 You can even make fun of me as I'm teaching.

2:41 You can be like the students at the back of a classroom and just make jokes.

2:45 Let me do one more audio check and we will get started.

2:51 Um There we go.

2:57 Um I was going to say one more thing.

2:59 Oh, this I don't think this will be a super long lesson this morning.

3:03 Maybe about 45 minutes.

3:05 We might get close to an hour if there are lots of questions,

3:07 but uh let's get started.

3:10 In the wild, animals or plants seen in their natural habitat.

3:15 So, I wanted to take a minute to explain why

3:18 I have given this lesson the title in the wild.

3:21 It's because sometimes you see things and maybe if you see an animal at a zoo,

3:27 that's not the same as seeing it in its natural habitat.

3:30 That's not the same as seeing it in the wild.

3:33 So, when I was walking outside on my property the property the other day,

3:38 I was noticing a lot of things out in the wild.

3:40 It doesn't mean I live in the jungle or the forest.

3:43 It just means outside.

3:44 It's kind of a fun phrase uh to say that, but I do

3:48 want to explain that we use it in a funny way as well.

3:51 We use it when we are seeing a person outside

3:55 of their normal environment and it's a very informal phrase.

3:58 So, here's Matt Damon.

4:00 Someone must have seen him out in the wild and took a picture of him.

4:05 Students sometimes will use this phrase.

4:07 If a student sees me at the grocery store,

4:10 if a student sees me at the shopping mall,

4:12 they might say to a friend later, "Oh, I saw Bob the Canadian in the wild.

4:18 I saw him at the shopping mall.

4:19 He's a real person." So, anyways, there is a funny version of the phrase,

4:24 but let's get to the core of this lesson.

4:27 Here we go.

4:28 Weeds.

4:30 Jen and I are always shocked at how quickly weeds start to grow in the spring.

4:36 So, a weed is a plant that you don't want.

4:39 When you have a garden, you plant the plants you want.

4:43 You put seeds in the ground and then

4:45 other plants just randomly grow and they're weeds.

4:49 We don't want them.

4:51 They are things that we pull out.

4:53 I imagine every part of the world has slightly different kinds of weeds,

4:58 but uh yes, number one, weeds.

5:01 And I do want to mention that almost all of the words this morning

5:05 are plural and end in S because that's how we talk about things in general.

5:11 I saw a lot of weeds outside.

5:13 I saw some snails.

5:14 There were puddles.

5:15 There were squirrels and wheelbarrows and rakes.

5:17 Sorry, I'm getting ahead of myself.

5:19 So, you'll notice the singular is of course weed.

5:22 There was a weed, but I'm going to be using

5:24 the plural for everything because it's how we naturally talk about stuff.

5:29 Worms.

5:30 So, I went for a walk the other day and it was raining

5:33 a little bit and when it rains the worms come out of the ground.

5:37 And uh I noticed along the side of the road there were a lot of worms.

5:41 I am not someone who goes fishing, but if I was someone who went fishing,

5:46 that would have been a good time to collect worms.

5:49 Now, of course, worms are these wiggly kind of slimy.

5:53 Like if you touch them, they're slimy.

5:54 They're not It's not nice to touch a worm.

5:57 And they wiggle through the ground uh and I think

6:00 they eat organic matter and they make the soil better.

6:03 So, worms, we also sometimes call them earthworms.

6:08 Buds.

6:09 So, the trees have buds.

6:11 Some of the trees have blossoms.

6:13 So, buds are kind of this little tiny green part

6:19 of the tree before it opens and becomes a leaf or a blossom.

6:24 So, when you walk around right now, there's no shade under the trees.

6:29 The sun can shine right through because there are only buds so far.

6:33 There are no leaves yet on the trees.

6:38 Blossoms.

6:39 So, I'm not sure what part of the world you live in, but there

6:42 are some places where there are cherry

6:44 blossoms or apricot trees that have blossoms.

6:47 Blossoms are tiny tiny flowers usually found on a tree or bush.

6:53 Although we use it for other in other ways as well,

6:56 but generally if you were to say,

6:58 "Oh, you should go to Washington D.C., the cherry trees are blossoming.

7:03 There are a lot of blossoms on the trees."

7:06 And the cool thing with blossoms is it usually smells really good,

7:10 too, when you see a lot of blossoms.

7:13 It's a fun word to say, by the way, blossoms.

7:16 Long grass.

7:18 So, I I searched and searched for a a guy mowing

7:22 his lawn where he let the lawn go for too long.

7:26 I would say that's the phrase we would use.

7:28 He should have mowed this long grass a couple of weeks ago or more.

7:32 Now he's out there with his push mower.

7:35 I hope it's going well.

7:36 But when we see a lawn and we think, "Oh,

7:40 it needs to be mowed." We often say that there's long grass.

7:45 We sometimes say tall grass.

7:47 You might think that would be more common, but often we will say things like,

7:51 "Oh, your grass is getting long." Well,

7:53 there's a lot of long grass in the backyard.

7:54 It needs to be mowed.

7:56 So, one of the things you will see out

7:58 in the wild at this time of year is long grass.

8:03 And then of course, lawn mowers.

8:05 Let's zoom in on this one.

8:07 Another picture of someone mowing down some lawn long grass with a lawn mower.

8:13 Those words are very similar, aren't they?

8:15 Long grass, lawn mower.

8:19 So, hopefully you can hear the difference there.

8:21 Again, we call this a push mower.

8:23 I think in my professional opinion, that's the wrong mower for the job.

8:29 Um There are a lot of things I'm not good at.

8:32 I'm I have a lot of experience cutting lawn and if I was to cut this lawn,

8:35 I would be trying to find a much bigger lawn mower.

8:39 But there are yes, lots of lawn mowers out there at this time of year.

8:45 And then puddles.

8:46 Now, I noticed the other day I was walking outside and there

8:50 were puddles and I was wearing uh a pair of Crocs,

8:54 which normally if the water's only this deep, Crocs are fairly waterproof,

8:59 but I think my Crocs have a hole in the bottom.

9:02 If you don't know what Crocs are, you'll have to search that up online.

9:05 It's kind of a plastic pair of shoes that you can put on quickly.

9:09 I wouldn't actually call them shoes.

9:10 Like footwear.

9:11 We'll call them footwear.

9:13 Uh and I stepped in a really shallow puddle.

9:15 So, you can have a deep puddle or a shallow puddle and uh my foot got wet.

9:20 I was surprised.

9:21 I wasn't expecting that to happen.

9:24 But yes, definitely outside right now, there are a lot of puddles.

9:29 Snails.

9:30 So, I don't really like snails.

9:32 Snails are these little Oh, let me go back here for a sec.

9:35 Puddles are just little um indentations in the ground

9:40 or lawn that fill with water when it rains.

9:42 I should actually define the word that I'm teaching, shouldn't I?

9:45 I know it's pretty easy in this lesson because there's always a picture,

9:49 but I should for sure explain that.

9:52 Snails.

9:53 So, snails crawl along the ground.

9:56 Snails have a little shell on their back.

9:58 And the same day I was walking and saw worms,

10:01 there were also a lot of snails alongside the road.

10:05 I don't know why the worms and snails are close to the road.

10:09 That seems dangerous to me.

10:11 Probably poor parenting at some point in their lives.

10:14 Sorry, that was a joke.

10:15 But snails, they're also slimy on the bottom.

10:19 Uh they crawl very, very slowly.

10:21 Um and there's just lots of them right now.

10:24 It's pretty cool.

10:26 Hey, let's look at some questions.

10:28 Uh let me do an audio check for a sec.

10:33 Okay.

10:34 Uh oh, there are questions.

10:35 Okay, here we go.

10:37 Um Judit.

10:39 Hi Bob, when have you been in the wild alone without proper accessories?

10:43 How long have you been and where?

10:44 Thank you.

10:45 When I was younger, when I was a teenager,

10:48 I went camping up north in Ontario, Canada at a park called Algonquin Park.

10:55 And we were out hiking and we saw a black bear,

10:59 which I don't think are very dangerous, but I'm not sure.

11:02 Uh and we didn't have any thing to protect ourselves,

11:06 so we just stood still until the bear ran away.

11:08 There are no bears in my area,

11:11 but that would have been a time where I was in the wild and I was unprepared.

11:17 From Judit, hi Bob, what do you know experience about living in the wild?

11:21 What gave you the idea of the topic?

11:22 Thank you.

11:23 So, the idea came from the fact that I'm just

11:26 outside more now and I'm noticing all of these things.

11:29 For most of the winter, I sat inside.

11:32 Now I'm outside a little bit, so that's where the idea came from.

11:35 Uh good morning to Vitor and No That, good to see you guys there in the chat.

11:41 Luis Carlos is here, John Wedge.

11:43 Just scrolling back, Jamin.

11:45 Seeing a few new names there, very cool.

11:48 Good to see all of you.

11:49 Let me get the next question on the screen.

11:53 Um Just going to skip the next one because it's not on topic.

12:02 So, here we go.

12:02 From Miller, teacher, could you tell me what time it is in Canada right now?

12:06 It is 8:41 a.m.

12:09 Uh Eastern Standard Time.

12:12 I guess technically it's Eastern Daylight Savings Time.

12:15 Uh that is what time it is here, 8:41.

12:18 I usually start answering questions at 8:40.

12:23 I saw Oh, by the way, if you're new here, don't forget to subscribe.

12:26 There's a button somewhere.

12:27 And uh the lesson isn't over.

12:29 This is just the question part.

12:31 And then I get back to the lesson in a minute.

12:33 From Assad, what is a wild personality?

12:36 Sometimes teenagers or people in their early 20s,

12:41 um they do a lot of things that adults don't do.

12:45 Maybe they go out a lot.

12:47 Maybe they stay up late.

12:49 I'm sure I could describe a lot of other things to you,

12:51 but that would be um something that people with a wild personality do.

12:56 They stay out till 4:00 in the morning and those kinds of things.

13:00 From Takagero, hello dear teacher Bob.

13:02 Are there many black squirrels on your property?

13:04 What do they eat in winter?

13:07 Occasionally I will see a black squirrel,

13:09 but most of the squirrels I see are brown or gray.

13:13 Um What do they eat in the winter?

13:16 I I'm pretty sure they still collect nuts.

13:19 We have acorns.

13:21 We have walnut trees.

13:23 We have hickory trees around here.

13:25 There are a number of different kinds of nuts and I'm pretty

13:28 sure that's what they would be collecting and eating in the winter.

13:33 From Hasham, have you ever seen snow leopards?

13:36 I have never been in the wild in a place in the world where snow leopards live.

13:41 So, no.

13:42 Um no, I have not seen them.

13:44 Um No That says, hello Bob, good to see you as well.

13:46 Thank you very much.

13:48 Hi, I'm Lee from Korea.

13:49 Hello, Lee.

13:50 And Mode says, I've never tried them, so I can't say for sure,

13:52 but I wanted to practice agreeing with the negative sentence in French, si.

13:57 It's the only time you get to sound Spanish when you speak French.

14:02 No That, hello Bob, is there any animal you

14:04 would really like to see in its natural habitat someday?

14:06 Thanks a lot, Bob.

14:08 So, I think I would like to see all of the larger animals uh in the wild.

14:13 I have seen elephants.

14:15 I've seen lions.

14:17 I've seen hippos, hippopotamus.

14:19 Hippopotami?

14:20 I don't know what the plural is.

14:22 Um I've seen most of those, but I've never seen a polar bear.

14:29 So, that would be really cool because I think you go

14:31 in a special bus that's really up high and can drive on the snow.

14:36 So, that's what I'm going to say for that one.

14:39 Uh Ejaz says, is there a zoo in your area?

14:42 There are a couple.

14:42 The Toronto Zoo is pretty cool.

14:44 That's the one I have been to before.

14:47 Um let's see.

14:51 No That says, great choice of topic, Bob, especially after the recent Earth Day.

14:54 Yes, that wasn't the main reason,

14:57 but Earth Day certainly made me get outside a little bit.

15:01 Unabi.

15:02 Hi Mr.

15:02 Bob.

15:04 Sorry for a bit off-topic question,

15:06 but could you explain the phrase to gone wild?

15:08 To go wild?

15:10 Gone wild?

15:11 It doesn't have any common anything in common with wild nature, does it?

15:15 Thank you.

15:16 I'm not sure about that phrase.

15:17 Like, you could say something like um the chickens were

15:22 in the barn all year and now they're outside and they've gone wild.

15:26 So, they're starting to behave more like how they

15:29 used to behave 50 years ago when chickens lived outside.

15:34 I'm not sure.

15:35 But yes, that's how I would use it.

15:38 From Gata Halena.

15:40 I decided to use one name in the chat and here.

15:42 Good good plan.

15:43 Question, in the park I walk with my kids live squirrels.

15:47 Can I use phrase in the wild for them?

15:49 Yes.

15:50 You don't often see squirrels at the zoo,

15:53 but you do see them in the wild all the time.

15:55 So, when you go for a walk, you could say,

15:57 oh, I saw a lot of squirrels in the wild.

15:59 You might probably just say at the park.

16:01 That would sound a little more normal to me,

16:06 but you could say in the wild, yes, for sure.

16:09 No That, just out of curiosity, Bob,

16:11 if you could choose between being a zoologist and a botanist,

16:15 what would you go with?

16:16 Thanks, sir.

16:18 So, in the movie The Martian and in the book, he's a botanist.

16:23 And so, he knows how to grow stuff.

16:25 I like animals, but I'm not very good at taking care of animals.

16:30 I'm better at taking care of plants.

16:32 So, I think I would choose botany.

16:34 I would be a botanist.

16:37 Um let's see here.

16:39 From Kuso, if someone says, there are many bugs or buds in the tree,

16:44 how can I recognize what he says?

16:45 I'm a bit confused about the sound.

16:48 So, of course, buds are the little tiny flowers.

16:51 Let me just pull them up for a sec.

16:55 Buds.

16:55 There we go.

16:56 And then bugs, we're not at bugs yet.

17:00 Um Bugs, of course, are different kinds of insects.

17:03 So, when you speak quickly, there are buds.

17:07 There are bugs.

17:08 It sounds very similar, doesn't it?

17:10 So, you just have to listen for the buds, the hard D.

17:14 Buds.

17:15 I guess we do z it a bit, don't we?

17:17 Buds.

17:19 Buds, yeah.

17:20 Bugs.

17:21 Bzz.

17:22 And then buds on the tree.

17:24 Yeah, it's tricky.

17:25 You just have to listen to context as well.

17:29 Uh from Unsal, hi Mr.

17:30 Bob, spring is finally here.

17:32 It is.

17:33 What's that one sign of spring that makes you stop whatever you're doing,

17:36 smile, and feel genuinely excited?

17:38 Thanks, you're awesome.

17:39 I love the smell of fresh-cut grass.

17:42 I like hearing birds chirping in the trees, especially if I'm making a video,

17:48 as long as they're not too loud,

17:49 like that one bird in the one members only video last year.

17:54 So, from Sergey.

17:56 Do you use snails as bait to catch fish?

17:59 You probably could, but I'm I'm not I don't go fishing.

18:03 So, I don't know.

18:04 Hard to answer that question.

18:06 From No That, Bob, do you know if there are any endangered species,

18:10 animals or plants, living in your region?

18:12 Thanks a lot, Bob.

18:13 I think the bald eagle um was starting to be an endangered species.

18:19 I think it's come back.

18:21 We do have two that live somewhere around the farm.

18:24 I have seen them quite a bit.

18:26 So, uh that is one that uh when we see it,

18:29 we try to take a picture with our phone,

18:31 but then it it's so far away that it's only this big in the photo,

18:35 so it's kind of hard to show other people.

18:38 Um Let's see.

18:41 From Unsal, how does the Canadian

18:43 school curriculum help kids learn about nature?

18:46 Do they have things like hands-on farming classes or farm visits?

18:49 Thanks, you're awesome.

18:50 Bye.

18:51 Yes, so when you're in elementary school,

18:53 you will probably visit a farm once or twice.

18:56 When you're in elementary school, like age 6 to 12 or 13,

19:02 you will probably go to a park.

19:04 You'll probably go on several hikes um at a a nature preserve.

19:08 You'll you'll definitely see a lot of nature, but you also study science.

19:13 And in high school, you study biology.

19:16 So, you will have some actual um learning.

19:19 Like, our students in biology planted trees and then

19:23 they study how much the tree grows in 4 years.

19:28 Judit says, hi Bob, what kind of difference may exist in a zebra

19:32 living in the zoo and wild zebra living in the wild?

19:34 And the same comparison about another animal.

19:37 Thank you.

19:37 So, the biggest difference between an animal in a zoo or in the wild,

19:42 an animal in a zoo has food brought to them

19:45 and they usually get used to that, at least some animals,

19:49 where they know that the uh zookeeper is bringing food

19:53 at 4:00 and so they you know they get excited.

19:56 Whereas if you are an animal living in the wild, you have to find your own food.

20:01 I'm sure that can be tricky.

20:04 Um okay.

20:07 Think we're going to go back to the lesson a minute early.

20:09 That means I should have a sip of water.

20:13 Remember if you're one of the 173 people watching and you're not a subscriber,

20:17 you should subscribe.

20:19 I guarantee you will enjoy it.

20:21 Uh let's see here.

20:22 Back to the lesson.

20:25 Twigs and branches.

20:27 So trees are beautiful,

20:31 but when it's windy and when you have a long winter and there's

20:35 a lot of wind storms uh and snow sometimes puts weight on the trees,

20:40 twigs and branches sometimes fall off.

20:42 The difference between a twig and a branch is simply size.

20:46 They're all just parts of a tree, but when I was outside the other day,

20:50 I noticed that there were some branches,

20:52 some pretty big branches laying on the ground and there were some twigs.

20:56 So I need to clean those up before I mow my lawn.

20:59 So there are definitely twigs and branches outside.

21:04 Rubber boots.

21:05 As I mentioned, I went outside wearing my Crocs.

21:08 I should have worn my rubber boots,

21:09 but I know my rubber boots have a hole in them,

21:13 several, and I need a new pair of rubber boots.

21:16 So this is something though you will definitely see out in the wild.

21:20 Right now, a lot of people will wear rubber boots.

21:23 Jen has been wearing her rubber boots for two

21:25 or three weeks as she begins working outside.

21:29 So that's very very cool.

21:31 I just want to pause the lesson and say

21:33 thanks to Unsal who sent 20 member 20 memberships.

21:38 So thank you Unsal.

21:39 I don't know can I read all the names?

21:41 Haru Indra Aysen Slatu Chuang, Dam, uh Shiny, Daniel, Kenny, Can See.

21:53 I can't read all the names, but welcome to all of you.

21:56 That is awesome.

21:57 Thank you so much Unsal and if you are one

21:59 of the people that just received a free membership for a month,

22:03 go to the posts section of this YouTube channel

22:07 and you will see all the members only posts.

22:09 So thanks again Unsal.

22:10 Very cool.

22:12 Wheelbarrows.

22:13 So this is one of the coolest inventions ever.

22:15 A wheelbarrow is a little handcart, I guess,

22:19 with one wheel on the front and two handles on the back and you can fill it

22:23 with all kinds of things and then you

22:26 lift the handles and you can move stuff around.

22:28 You can drive the wheelbarrow.

22:30 I think because there's a wheel,

22:32 it actually acts as a lever if you know how levers work.

22:36 So it actually makes it easier to lift all of the stuff that's in there,

22:41 but you will definitely see wheelbarrows at this time of year.

22:44 Almost everywhere I walked the other day,

22:48 I I went through a several neighborhoods.

22:50 I probably saw five or six wheelbarrows.

22:53 So people are cleaning up twigs and branches.

22:57 People are just outside maybe moving some soil to a new area.

23:01 People are going to start planting stuff soon.

23:04 So definitely there are a lot of wheelbarrows out there.

23:10 Rakes.

23:11 So another thing you can use in the fall is a rake to clean up leaves,

23:15 but you don't always get it all done.

23:17 So sometimes you need a rake in the spring uh because there's just

23:22 lots of stuff like leaves that have kind of rotted over the spring.

23:26 A rake actually works really well to rake up twigs.

23:30 Don't try to rake up branches.

23:32 It doesn't work.

23:33 That's a little bit too hard for a rake, but yes,

23:36 a rake is a garden tool that you can use

23:40 to kind of gather things into a pile on the ground.

23:45 Very helpful for cleaning up your yard in the spring.

23:49 Melting snow.

23:50 So this might not be something that you see at this time of year,

23:54 but we often see melting snow at this time of year.

23:57 In fact, the other day I went to the grocery

24:00 store and when I went to the grocery store, it was snowing in April.

24:05 This was this past weekend and when I came out,

24:07 my vehicle had some snow on it and there was a little bit of snow on the ground,

24:11 but the sun came out and it immediately started melting.

24:15 So you can see here, I like this picture shows it nicely.

24:19 You have snow, but you have green grass.

24:22 So this is definitely in my mind

24:24 a picture from spring or fall, most likely spring,

24:28 where the grass is starting to grow,

24:30 but you still have a little bit of snow melting.

24:33 We don't have any snow outside at all anymore, but like I said,

24:38 it does snow occasionally and then we do get a little bit of snow on the ground.

24:44 Mud.

24:45 So this person was very wise and wore their rubber boots.

24:49 Mud is simply dirt that has a lot of water in it and it

24:53 often gets very sticky and when you step in it, you can sink.

24:58 So when you step in mud, your foot goes into the mud.

25:01 You sink in the mud.

25:03 This person is not sinking too far,

25:05 but if you look at how high the mud is on their boot,

25:10 I'm sure they probably sunk in the mud earlier before this picture was taken.

25:16 But mud, very very wet soil that you find

25:20 when you are outside at this time of year.

25:24 Tire tracks or ruts.

25:26 I think I mentioned this once in another lesson.

25:29 One of the things that really bothers me is that at this time of year,

25:33 you will see where everyone has driven on the lawn.

25:38 So when you drive on the lawn, you leave tire tracks,

25:41 which you see here in the lawn, or what we call ruts.

25:45 They're the same thing.

25:46 He drove on the lawn and now there's tire tracks or he

25:49 drove on the lawn and now there's ruts in the lawn.

25:52 Very very annoying.

25:54 Um he drove on the lawn, now there's tire tracks on the lawn.

25:58 Tire tracks in the lawn.

25:59 You can say both, on or in.

26:01 There's ruts on the lawn, there's ruts in the lawn.

26:04 I'd probably use in.

26:05 There's ruts in the lawn, but you could probably use both.

26:09 So tire tracks or ruts,

26:11 one of the things that makes Bob the Canadian very very annoyed.

26:15 Um and I'm not going to blame

26:19 delivery drivers because I appreciate them the most

26:22 and I know it must be hard to figure out where the lawn is versus the driveway.

26:27 But uh if any of you are watching,

26:30 if you deliver to my house, please try to stay on the driveway.

26:33 Please don't go in the lawn and make ruts.

26:38 Hey, I'm going to switch to members only a little bit

26:40 early because we only have um a quarter of the lesson left.

26:45 Sorry, my nose is really itchy right now.

26:47 I don't know why.

26:49 It's not a pleasant feeling when you're trying

26:51 to remain composed and do a live stream, but let's switch to members only chat.

26:57 And let me kind of explain to everybody what that means.

27:01 So for 10 minutes during every live lesson, we have members only chat time.

27:07 If you are a member, you can ask a question directly in the chat.

27:12 And if you're wondering what membership is,

27:14 it's when you click the join button and you help support

27:17 me in the work I do making English lessons on YouTube.

27:21 Um what you get is you get a lesson plan on Monday,

27:25 a few ideas of things you can do through the week and I usually write a little

27:29 bit about what I'm doing at the time

27:31 and help teach you a little bit of English there.

27:34 You get an extra lesson on Wednesdays, um which is more of a vlog type lesson.

27:38 I do them sometimes at home, sometimes in town.

27:42 I did one at the airport once.

27:43 That was a fun one.

27:45 Uh you also get to get your name in green in live streams.

27:49 You get a crown by your name and you get to participate in members only chat.

27:53 So if that's something you're interested in, if

27:54 you want to help support the channel,

27:56 there is a join button or a subscribe plus button,

27:59 one of the two, somewhere around here.

28:01 I strongly recommend you consider doing that.

28:04 It's one of the things that allows me to work

28:07 part-time and be home just a little bit more.

28:11 Like I'm I work about 70% of full-time.

28:15 So I go to work for about 3/4 of the day,

28:19 2/3 to 3/4 and then I can spend the rest

28:21 of the time making YouTube videos because of you guys.

28:24 So thank you if you are a member and please consider being a member.

28:27 It helps a lot.

28:30 From Know That in the chat.

28:31 Hey Bob, what are your plans for today or the weekend?

28:34 Do you have anything special on your to-do list?

28:36 A heartfelt thank you.

28:39 So yeah, I don't want to lease to I'm going to be mowing a lot of lawn.

28:44 I'll tell you that much.

28:46 And if you saw the members only video,

28:48 there's an area of my property where I'm going to be building something,

28:52 but I don't want to say what it is yet,

28:54 but I'm going to start working on that tomorrow.

28:56 I feel physically fit enough that I have

28:59 a little project that I want to get started on.

29:02 If you follow along with my life a bit,

29:05 a couple years ago I redid the front entranceway of our house.

29:08 I put new pavers down and new stone.

29:11 This is something quite a bit different,

29:13 but still kind of a fun outdoor project.

29:16 Uh Mode says, "Have a sip, Mr.

29:18 Bob, and please let us know if

29:19 your blood test results are in." Oh, everything's good.

29:21 Yeah.

29:22 I have passed the threshold,

29:24 which you could probably tell where I just have a lot more energy.

29:28 So there's a point where you are low energy and then

29:30 you get to there's a certain threshold for your hemoglobin,

29:34 if you want all the details, and I'm past that and things are good.

29:38 You I think a lot of you could tell last Friday already during the live stream.

29:41 I'm talking too fast and making too many jokes.

29:46 John Wedge, "Hey Bob, no question today.

29:47 just listening and having fun here.

29:49 Hey folks, as always, don't forget to give a thumbs up.

29:51 Yes, please do.

29:52 It does help me.

29:54 But only do it if you're enjoying the lesson.

29:57 Know that, what subjects are you teaching today

29:59 and what are your students currently working on in class?

30:01 Well, I'll tell you just one.

30:03 One of my classes has started building their video games.

30:06 That's really fun.

30:07 So, I'm excited about that.

30:09 Currently, they're building a game where they have a little person

30:11 and they have to get from one end of the screen

30:13 to the other and they have to build three different

30:17 um I don't know what you would call them, obstacles.

30:20 So, like something where if you touch it, your player goes to the beginning,

30:24 something that goes up and down, maybe a wheel that turns.

30:27 So, that's kind of fun.

30:29 Um from Hafiz, I know it's hard to tell to see where the driveway and lawn is.

30:34 Bob was being sarcastic there, he gets.

30:37 There's a common question Jen and I ask ourselves about

30:41 delivery drivers and the question is do they have backup cameras?

30:46 Cuz I I don't think they do and I think

30:49 their their boss or the place where they work should put them in.

30:53 They should all be given a backup camera.

30:56 I think that would be great.

30:58 Um Mode, oh there's a backup cup in the background, I just noticed.

31:02 There's It's getting a little crazy, Mode.

31:06 There's like cups of water everywhere.

31:08 It's becoming like that movie with what movie was that?

31:13 Signs?

31:14 M.

31:14 Night Shyamalan where the guy was putting cups of water

31:19 or the girl somebody was putting cups of water everywhere.

31:22 Maybe somebody in the chat can say.

31:24 Um Freddy, seeing animals in the zoo can seem quite sad for many people.

31:29 Nevertheless, it's sometimes necessary to keep them in a safe

31:31 place because they're about to disappear if ever for in nature.

31:35 Yes, I know that is true of a few species.

31:38 So, I say Sandy, I love going to the zoo.

31:40 Seeing lion, elephant and zebra.

31:42 However, life is busy,

31:43 so most of the time I watch the animal channel to see them.

31:46 That's a good way to see animals in the wild from the comfort of your home.

31:51 Uh Mulati says, "Hi, I'm just joined." Well, welcome.

31:54 Thank you for becoming a member.

31:56 Uh or maybe you just joined the live stream.

31:58 Maybe you already were a member.

31:59 Wanda, hi Teacher Bob, are there any exotic animals in your farm?

32:03 If yes, how do you feel when you see them?

32:05 Thanks.

32:06 No, there's nothing exotic here.

32:09 We have goats and chickens.

32:11 Uh that's the livestock we have.

32:13 There are on the property, there are squirrels, many different kinds of birds,

32:17 raccoons, rabbits, all the normal animals, nothing exotic or fun.

32:23 Um regarding your class, did you do a scavenger hunt this past Monday?

32:26 Yes, and it was 1° but we still did

32:29 it outside um and then yesterday it was beautiful.

32:33 We should have done it yesterday.

32:35 Yep, which TV series do you usually watch every day?

32:38 I have not been watching TV for a few weeks.

32:42 I've been a little busy doing other things because

32:44 it's light out outside till 8:00 at night right now.

32:49 Not quite 8:00 but it's light out later.

32:51 So, I've like last night I mowed some lawn and those kinds of things.

32:56 Bridget, this weekend here is a cherry blossom festival.

32:58 It starts with a concert this evening.

33:00 I'm part of the orchestra.

33:01 I'm playing the trumpet.

33:02 Very cool.

33:03 Couple little fixes in there, orchestra and trumpet, but very cool.

33:07 I hope it goes well, Bridget.

33:10 That's awesome that you play a musical instrument.

33:13 Uh from Know That, besides the birdhouses, Bob,

33:15 do you do anything else for the local wildlife around your farm?

33:18 Not really.

33:20 No, I'm just trying to think.

33:22 Bird feeders a little bit,

33:24 although eventually we run out of bird feed and then we don't feed them anymore.

33:28 Um but birdhouses would be one of the only things.

33:31 Uh from Mino Smil, "Hi Mr.

33:33 Bob, does wildcard have a second meaning or is it just about card games?" So,

33:38 if you say a person is a wildcard,

33:41 it means they don't always follow all the rules

33:44 maybe at a place of work or even in society.

33:48 Like if you say, "Oh, my brother's a real wildcard,

33:50 don't invite him to the birthday party because

33:53 you don't know what he'll do." Um M.

33:56 Night Shyamalan, I think that.

33:58 Yes.

33:59 That's the name.

34:00 Know that, as long as you don't have to put

34:02 cups everywhere because water is coming through the ceiling, Bob.

34:04 No, there are no drips but that is a word that's coming up, dripping.

34:10 So, that's the last word of the lesson.

34:13 Got to find Mode.

34:14 Oh, the chat is getting super busy.

34:15 I blame it on Unso for gifting too many memberships.

34:18 Haha, just kidding, there's no such thing as too many members, eh?

34:20 No, there's not.

34:22 Um the project I'm working on uh I will show you but it's

34:27 nice to uh be able to work on things uh from memberships.

34:32 Freddy, if you let out your goats,

34:34 would they be able to do the job of your lawnmower?

34:37 Sort of but they might escape as well.

34:40 We do let them in some areas but not around the house.

34:45 Oh, are there skunks from Mulati around your house?

34:48 Yes, there are skunks in this area.

34:51 I don't often see them.

34:53 Uh if you do see them, they during the day they're usually dangerous.

34:56 They usually have a disease.

34:59 Hafiz, Invincible and The Boys are trending shows right now.

35:02 They're great if you're into superhero genre.

35:04 So, The Boys was a little too violent

35:06 for me and someone just recommended Invincible to me, so I should check it out.

35:12 From Know That, I have a question related to pronunciation this time, Bob.

35:15 Could you pronounce the words extraordinary, obituary and opaque?

35:19 Thanks in advance.

35:20 So, extraordinary is sometimes informally emphasized as extraordinary.

35:27 Like he's an extraordinary hockey player.

35:29 He is an extraordinary hockey player.

35:32 So, extraordinary 90% of the time people

35:36 will say that but sometimes to be funny,

35:38 people will say, "This is an extraordinary

35:40 cookie." The real word world word is extraordinary.

35:44 Uh and then obituary is of course after someone passes away,

35:49 it's like a little write-up on the internet

35:51 or in a newspaper talking about their life and the funeral arrangements.

35:57 So, I say Sandy says, "Happy to see the goats in Jen's video delivered.

35:59 The small goats are so cute." They are cute, very much.

36:04 Mode, "Whoa, you must have really good breath

36:06 control to be able to play the trumpet.

36:08 How long have you been playing?" That must be a challenging instrument to play.

36:12 Um Mulati, I just found the Canadian that Canadian accent for the word

36:15 actual is actual I only know the way I say it, actual.

36:20 That's the actual way I say actual.

36:23 Hafiz to Bridget, "Oh, I bet you're a great trumpet player.

36:25 Cherry blossom festival sounds beautiful." Yeah, I'm jealous.

36:28 I think I would like to go to that.

36:30 From John Wedge, I agree with you.

36:32 I've enjoyed watching Jen's videos over the past 2 weeks.

36:35 And then Bridget says to Mode "I've been playing

36:38 the trumpet for nearly 50 years." That is impressive.

36:41 Yeah, I'm going to turn off members only chat but I'm going

36:43 to keep an eye on it uh and maybe answer a few more questions.

36:48 Um I did I did want to explain last

36:52 week the live stream kept going after I finished.

36:54 Normally, YouTube automatically stops it when I

36:58 hit stop in my software and it didn't.

37:01 And I don't know if it does that anymore,

37:02 so I'll need to make sure that I end the live stream when I end it.

37:07 Okay, let me do a few questions from the form.

37:11 Um Hasham says "What's Canada's national animal?"

37:15 I think it's the beaver or the loon.

37:17 I should know that, shouldn't I?

37:20 From Alex, "Hello Bob,

37:22 have you ever spent a whole night in nature in the winter?

37:24 I remember doing it with my father once and it was cold."

37:27 I slept outside once in the winter when I was in university.

37:32 Um and I went winter camping once uh just about 15 years ago.

37:37 It was very cold.

37:38 You need a wood stove or some heating.

37:41 Um Anders, "Hi Bob, could you explain what

37:43 in the wild means figuratively?" It simply means not necessarily figuratively,

37:49 like literally it means seeing something

37:51 outside of what you would normally where

37:56 you would normally expect to see that person or thing or animal or plant.

38:00 So, um Hafiz says, "Yeah, I noticed that, the live stream was

38:04 continuing on after it ended last week." Yes.

38:08 And Know That says, "Thanks for answering

38:09 my questions." Yeah, it just kept going.

38:13 Miller says, "I'm sorry, teacher.

38:15 I thought you were going to teach us in the wild." Yeah,

38:18 it is a bit of a deceptive title, isn't it?

38:21 Maybe I should actually do a lesson in the wild.

38:25 There, I just used actually again.

38:27 Um Is wild always fierce?

38:31 And I just heard Canadian actual sounds like actual.

38:34 Is it French influence?

38:36 C'est possible.

38:38 Je Moi, je sais pas.

38:39 It's possible.

38:41 Okay, um couple more and we'll get back to the lesson.

38:47 Oh, someone wants my opinion.

38:48 Wulu, do you think zoos are beneficial and necessary

38:51 or should animals remain in their natural habitats in the wild?

38:54 I don't know.

38:56 Like I know they're closing a lot of the like our close to us,

38:59 there was something called Marineland and they had whales

39:02 and dolphins and it wasn't healthy for the whales and dolphins.

39:06 So, I think it maybe depends on the type of animal.

39:09 There, I'm going to give you a depends answer.

39:13 Hasham, have you ever gone camping?

39:14 Yes.

39:15 I don't really enjoy it but I have definitely gone camping uh in the past, so.

39:21 Um Freddy said, "At the end of your live,

39:26 the chat keeps going for 5 or 10 minutes." Oh, yeah.

39:29 The official animal of Canada is

39:30 the beaver which was officially recognized in March.

39:33 Thanks, John, for looking that up.

39:35 Um and just some chatting going on there.

39:38 Okay, let me get a couple more questions.

39:42 Prometheus, "Hi Bob, which single survival skill would make the biggest

39:45 difference for someone lost in the wilderness?

39:47 So, I think in order of importance,

39:49 you need uh shelter, you need heat, you need water.

39:55 Um so, I think shelter, and depending how cold it is,

40:01 shelter, heat, and water would be the three things.

40:04 You don't need heat though if it's warm out, but you do need shelter.

40:07 Like if it You can't just live in the rain.

40:10 That's I don't think that works.

40:12 Uh and then food is not actually that important for the few first day or two,

40:16 but it does become very important.

40:18 Um let's see here.

40:19 From Eman, hi Mr.

40:21 Bob, hope you're doing well.

40:22 Thanks for a valuable English lesson.

40:24 You are welcome.

40:26 Uh and let's go back actually to the lesson.

40:28 Let's get this lesson finished.

40:30 Um let's see.

40:32 Bob was being an old forgetful man.

40:33 Yeah, that happens sometimes.

40:37 Okay.

40:38 Fog.

40:39 Almost every morning, there's fog right now.

40:42 This is probably caused by the fact that it's cold

40:45 overnight and the ground is warming up or the inverse.

40:49 It might be warm overnight and the ground

40:51 is still cool related to the air temperature.

40:54 Either way, not a weatherman.

40:57 There is a lot of fog um in the morning.

41:00 Uh but it dissipates very quickly once the sun comes up.

41:04 So, fog, definitely something I have been seeing a lot of uh

41:08 as I get up and go out on these beautiful spring days.

41:12 By the way, fog is moisture in the air.

41:14 It looks a lot like that.

41:16 It looks exactly like that actually.

41:18 Geese.

41:20 There are too many of these geese.

41:21 I think I have another picture coming up.

41:23 Yes.

41:24 These geese are everywhere.

41:27 They honk.

41:28 In Canadian parks in the city, there's even geese.

41:31 I don't know if I would call that in the wild cuz they're in the city.

41:35 And sometimes geese will chase people and geese can be very, very mean.

41:40 Um sometimes when we plant certain crops, the geese will eat the crop.

41:44 And then I have to go out and uh I put up a little fence to stop the geese,

41:49 but this year Jen said I can just fly

41:51 my drone and scare the geese off the soybean field.

41:55 We'll see.

41:55 But geese, it's this is uh actually what we call a Canada goose.

42:01 Some people call them Canadian geese.

42:02 We use different versions, but it's a pretty normal thing to see

42:06 in this part of the world at this time of year.

42:10 Robins.

42:11 So, interestingly enough, we do see robins.

42:14 A robin is a North American bird that looks like this.

42:17 It kind of has an orange chest, an orange or red chest.

42:21 Um and you can usually see them out getting worms.

42:24 Although, I actually think they migrate through this area,

42:28 but spend most of the summers further north.

42:32 Um so, we do see robins,

42:33 but like I want to say we see them in the spring and fall,

42:37 but I'm not 100% sure.

42:38 But we don't see them year-round, that's for sure.

42:42 Squirrels we see all the time though.

42:43 Whoa.

42:44 Squirrels we see all the time though.

42:46 A squirrel is a small furry animal like this.

42:49 It's probably a rodent.

42:50 It has a bushy tail.

42:52 It gathers nuts throughout the year and stores them to eat in the winter.

42:57 At least that's what they taught me when I was in school.

42:59 I should double-check some of these things because some

43:02 of the things they taught me in school aren't true anymore.

43:05 So, uh chirping.

43:07 So, this is something I hear a lot at this time of year.

43:10 I hear a lot of birds chirping and it's a beautiful sound,

43:14 especially first thing in the morning.

43:16 If you go outside, you will hear birds chirping.

43:19 Birds are in the trees.

43:20 Birds are flying around.

43:22 So, a chirp it's like That's not a chirp.

43:27 I can't make bird sounds this morning.

43:29 But a chirp is a sound that a small bird makes.

43:33 And you might be wondering, do geese make a sound?

43:36 Yes, geese honk.

43:39 So, I hear a lot of honking at this time of year.

43:42 You can honk your car, but geese also honk.

43:45 I'm not going to try and make the sound.

43:47 It's kind of a weird sound, but when you go outside,

43:51 even this morning if I went outside,

43:53 there are geese across the river, you would hear them honking.

43:56 So, it's definitely something you hear at this time of year.

44:01 And then dripping.

44:02 So, it rains a lot in the spring.

44:05 When water falls, we call that dripping.

44:09 So, it might be as simple as like drip drip drip like very,

44:14 very slow or it might be like this where there's

44:16 just a lot of water dripping from the eaves trough.

44:19 That's what we call that.

44:20 That little channel is called the eaves trough.

44:23 So, there's a lot of dripping and I yeah,

44:24 I don't have cups everywhere because the ceiling is dripping.

44:29 But when I was a kid in our old house,

44:31 we had pans we would put out if it rained.

44:35 I don't know if any of you have ever experienced that.

44:39 That's our old house leaked when I was a kid.

44:43 That's it.

44:44 Let's do some questions.

44:47 Uh no way, you said chirping and the word appeared on the screen.

44:49 Impeccable timing, know that.

44:51 There you go.

44:52 Nice work.

44:53 Um Do you hear the frog singing?

44:56 Yes, they are pretty loud here uh for sure.

45:00 The goose is doing a great honk.

45:01 Yes, it is.

45:02 Okay, let me get back to the questions.

45:05 I am only going to do the ones related

45:07 to the lesson or maybe I'll just do all of them.

45:10 We'll see.

45:11 Um From Trent, where do you think

45:14 I should study casual English for real-life conversations?

45:16 Thank you so much.

45:17 With someone who actually um specializes in teaching that.

45:22 So, there is a link in the description below to a place called Preply.

45:25 Great place to find a tutor.

45:27 I'm sure you can find a tutor maybe in your local town,

45:30 but having a conversation a real-life conversation

45:33 makes you better at having real-life conversations.

45:37 Student from your school, two snails.

45:40 I'm not sure what the other thing is.

45:43 Thank you, student from my school.

45:45 Um next one from Gita Helena, this spring I noticed that apricot trees

45:49 blossom before their new leaves grow up.

45:52 Did you notice such behavior on any tree in Canada?

45:55 Often, the trees we have that blossom will blossom and then they will leaf out.

46:01 So, that's what we That's how we describe it.

46:03 So, first you'll have buds.

46:05 The buds will open and there's a blossom,

46:07 but there's other buds that open and become leaves.

46:10 So, they leaf out.

46:13 Um From Betty, happy Friday, Bob.

46:18 Happy Friday to you, too.

46:19 Do you think humans are truly separate from the wild

46:21 or still part of it in some way?

46:23 We are still part of it.

46:24 That's why people enjoy going on a hike.

46:26 That's why people enjoy camping.

46:28 Itchy nose, Bob, that's me.

46:30 Have you ever gone camping?

46:31 Do you like going camping?

46:32 I have gone camping.

46:34 I do not really like um going camping.

46:38 How much water do you drink during live lessons?

46:41 Usually about a cup.

46:45 It depends on the time of year and whether I

46:48 have a little bit of sore a sore throat or not.

46:53 From Mulati, are there skunks around your home?

46:55 Yes.

46:55 And have they broken into your house?

46:57 No, that would be scary.

46:58 I I would not enjoy that.

47:02 [clears throat] From Unabi, simple question, Bob, do you like peacocks?

47:05 I find their tails look wonderful and gracious.

47:07 One of the most beautiful things in the wild nature.

47:11 I don't like large birds.

47:13 They kind of scare me.

47:15 So, up to about Like I don't mind ducks, but geese scare me a little bit.

47:22 Peacocks scare me a little bit.

47:24 Uh any turkeys, they kind of like

47:28 small duck-size or smaller birds, totally fine with.

47:32 Anything bigger, don't really like it.

47:35 Um Um let's see.

47:41 Alex from Yukatia.

47:43 Hey Bob, do you also have teepees in your part of Canada?

47:45 They are a kind of homes used by indigenous people.

47:48 Also, do you have raccoons?

47:49 I have seen them, um but I it's

47:52 not a regular occurrence to see a teepee anywhere.

47:55 But uh yes, there are sometimes festivals

47:57 and indigenous people will set some up.

48:02 From Fati, do you think watching nature animal

48:05 documentaries is an efficient way to improving English?

48:08 Yes, absolutely.

48:09 Documentaries are very helpful because they usually

48:12 explain things slowly and in great detail.

48:15 So, not just animal documentaries, like any kind of documentary I think is good.

48:21 Um This is from Dot.

48:26 Hi Bob, the Canadian here.

48:27 Let's learn English at the Well, I'm not going to tell you the next one.

48:31 Not this week, but the week after, that'll be a cool one.

48:35 Um from M Usman, what are some series

48:37 that can be watched to practice English listening and speaking?

48:41 So, there are a number of approaches to this.

48:44 I usually recommend that you watch TV instead

48:46 of movies to learn English because with TV,

48:49 you can get to know the characters and their particular way of talking.

48:53 Uh I used to recommend a show like Friends, but I think it's gotten too old now.

48:58 There's more modern words and phrases and like just something

49:03 as simple as daily life with a cell phone is common now,

49:06 but not on a show like that.

49:08 So, I can't recommend a show right now other than Survivor is

49:13 on and that's a great show to see and hear uh regular English.

49:19 Wild of Wild and Wild, how do you say wild?

49:22 I always mispronounce it.

49:23 I say wild.

49:24 Wild.

49:25 Wild.

49:27 There you go.

49:29 Um let's see here.

49:31 There's just a whole lot of spam in the chat.

49:35 Here we go.

49:36 From Mo, not in the chat, sorry, in the question queue.

49:39 No question, Bob.

49:40 Just one midnight, one hungry walk,

49:42 and one raccoon loudly owning a Tim Horton's jelly donut.

49:44 First time I envied a raccoon.

49:47 Yes, there are definitely raccoons that live in the city and benefit.

49:53 From Hasham, hi Bob, sir.

49:55 Is a beaver and a squirrel the same?

49:57 No, a beaver is bigger and has a large flat tail and lives by the water.

50:01 A squirrel is smaller, has a bushy tail, and lives in trees.

50:08 And here we don't have spring.

50:11 We directly have 34° C scorching weather.

50:15 That's hot.

50:16 Hi Bob, do you think a strong accent can be difficult to understand?

50:20 Oh, did I put that on the screen?

50:23 From Caddy.

50:24 Hi Bob, do you think a strong accent can be difficult to understand?

50:27 Yes, but humans are very adaptable.

50:30 I once worked with someone who had a strong accent

50:33 and within a week I could understand them no problem.

50:35 I think our brains adjust for situations like that.

50:41 From Hasham, why you don't like camping?

50:43 Any horrible experience?

50:44 I like comfort.

50:46 So, I like warmth in the winter, I like heat or sorry,

50:50 I like warmth in the winter, and I like an air conditioned house in the summer.

50:54 So, I don't mind going outside, but uh I'm definitely not a camper.

51:00 Um that wasn't me.

51:02 That was a copycat.

51:03 Yes, I thought so.

51:04 From Mode.

51:05 Um let's see here.

51:08 Boot Tooth says, I received a membership.

51:09 Thank you.

51:10 You're welcome.

51:11 Hey, that's it.

51:13 The questions are done.

51:13 The lesson's done.

51:14 I did say it was going to be a bit shorter today.

51:18 Which is fine cuz I got some water drinking to do.

51:21 I'm pretty busy drinking water here.

51:23 I'm on cup number two now.

51:26 Um but thank you so much for watching.

51:27 A few things before you go.

51:29 Number one, I will remember to turn the live stream off.

51:32 Number two, this lesson I will edit into a shorter one.

51:36 It'll probably only be 19 or 20 minutes where

51:39 I will remove all of the questions and it

51:41 will be a straight lesson from start to end

51:43 from the phrase in the wild to honking.

51:47 Uh I think there's 25 or so maybe 23 slides in this uh short lesson.

51:52 So, do rewatch it.

51:54 Rewatching something is very good for retention, your ability to remember it.

52:00 It will help you understand more because you

52:02 can turn subtitles on if you need to.

52:05 Uh but it's just a good habit to get into.

52:07 Not just for my channel.

52:09 You can do this with everything.

52:10 You should even read books twice if you want

52:12 to remember more of the English you are learning.

52:14 But that will come out This video will come out

52:17 in a shorter version in a day and a half, 2 days.

52:20 You should rewatch it.

52:21 So, uh and you should have a good weekend.

52:24 You should enjoy yourself.

52:25 You should do something fun.

52:27 Uh and I'm going to read the chat a bit and then I'm going to sign off.

52:30 Let's see.

52:31 Know That says, all your lessons are good, Bob.

52:32 There's always something to learn.

52:34 Yes.

52:34 Bob is not a happy camper, says Happy Is.

52:37 I never get this saying.

52:39 Yeah, not a happy camper.

52:40 That's the literal phrase.

52:43 Um Diep says, what do you think

52:44 about practicing casual English through the Ellen show?

52:47 That's fine.

52:48 You know, it's not so much the show,

52:51 it's whether you are committed to watching it and making

52:55 sure you're actually learning instead of just being entertained.

52:59 Unabi says, thanks a lot.

53:00 No problem.

53:01 Know That, thank you so much for your time, Bob.

53:03 I wish you and your family a lovely Friday and a wonderful weekend.

53:05 Take good care of yourself and all the best to Jen and the kids.

53:08 Thanks, Know That.

53:08 I hope you have a good weekend, too.

53:10 Bridget says, thank you, Bob.

53:11 Wish you and Jen a wonderful weekend.

53:12 Thank you.

53:13 Gita Helena, I never could understand these camping rest.

53:16 This is not a rest for me at all.

53:18 No.

53:19 Mode says, thanks, Mr.

53:20 Bob.

53:21 Oh, this went too fast.

53:25 Thanks, Mr.

53:26 Bob.

53:26 That's great news because I'm busy and I need to go.

53:28 No problem.

53:28 Who gave me the membership?

53:29 Thank you.

53:30 You're welcome.

53:31 Mode says, have a good weekend, everyone.

53:32 Bye, Teacher Bob.

53:32 Thanks a lot, says Wanda.

53:33 Thank you so much.

53:34 No problem, no problem.

53:35 I'm going to go.

53:36 John Wedge says, thank you.

53:40 Um everybody's saying thank you and goodbye.

53:41 So, I'm going to wrap it up.

53:43 Thanks for watching.

53:45 See you next Tuesday with a new lesson, next Friday with a live lesson.

53:48 I'm going to play the outro music now and I'm going

53:50 to uh finish drinking my water and go to the hardware store.

53:55 That's my plan on the way to work.

53:56 Bye.
