So in English, when someone does something well,
0

we will say, "Way to go!",
1

00:05
as a way to congratulate them.
2

00:08
It's an informal way to say that you think someone

00:11
is doing a good job.

Three years ago today, I stood right about here
5
12700
3473
00:16
and I made my very first YouTube video.
6
16173
3147
00:19
And it is now three years later.
7
19320
2720
00:22
So today is the three year anniversary
8
22040
2801
00:24
of my main YouTube channel.

If you wanna watch that first video,
10
26830
2540
00:29
I'll put the link down below in the description
11
29370
2740
00:32
or in the first comment.
12
32110
1313
00:34
But today is the three year anniversary
13
34590
3050
00:37
of my YouTube channel.
14
37640

00:38
So you could say to me, "Way to go, Bob.
15
38473
2604
00:41
"You've done a good job."
16
41077
1823
00:42
You don't have to say that but you could say that
17
42900
2780
00:45
and if you really wanted to thank me,
18
45680
1778
00:47
you would go to my main channel and just watch
19
47458
3032
00:50
a bunch of my older videos for fun.
20
50490
3070
00:53
I'm pretty nervous in some of them
21
53560
2510
00:56
but it's just really cool to watch the older videos
22
56070
3230
00:59
on my channel.
23
59300

01:00
A more formal way to celebrate with someone
24
60340
3970
01:04
would be to say , "Congratulations!"
25
64310
2480
01:06
This is a difficult word, sometimes for non-native
26
66790
3760
01:10
English speakers to pronounce.
27
70550
1480
01:12
But you could also say to me,
28
72030
1267
01:13
"Congratulations, Bob, on the three year anniversary
29
73297
3600
01:16
"of your YouTube channel."
30
76897
1826
01:18
You don't have to celebrate with me.
31
78723
2397
01:21
I'm pretty excited.
32
81120
1243
01:22
I never thought that my channel would grow
33
82363
3257
01:25
as fast as it did.
34
85620
1280
01:26
My main channel has over 300,000 subscribers.
35
86900
3590
01:30
That to me is just amazing
36
90490
1370
01:31
and I wanna end by saying thank you.
37
91860
2487
01:34
Thank you to all of you who have subscribed.
38
94347
3463
01:37
There would be no channel without people like you
39
97810
3200
01:41
who watch my videos.
40
101010
1030
01:42

44
109700
2500
01:52
that would be great.
45
