Learn the English Phrases "It's been a blast!" and "I had a blast!"

In this English lesson

I wanted to help you learn the phrase,

it's been a blast.

I am Bob the Canadian, and I call myself Bob the Canadian,

because I'm Bob and I'm Can,

and I'm,

and I'm Canadian.

I just wanted to pretend I was you for a second.

- Who am I then?

- You're just some little small YouTuber named Brent.

- Oh yeah. I'm just, I'm Brent.

So anyways, it's been a blast.

- Yeah, it's been a blast.

And I would like to talk about my time here,

as it's been a blast.

That's another way to say

you have had a lot of fun.

We got a lot of work done. - We did. We had fun.

- But when you're having fun, it doesn't feel like work.

- Exactly. Is there another phrase I should teach?

- Yes, but it's upside down.

- Or are you Bob?

Let me see if I can do this.

I also wanted to teach you the phrase, I had a blast!

Which means the same thing as, it's been a blast,

but we think it's used equally as much.

So I would say the same thing.

I had a blast or it's been a blast. Both work.

It's been a fun two days.

I think we maybe packed too much in to two days.

Maybe we worked too much and we should have played more.

Although, you know, if you only have two days

to get stuff done, you might as well get stuff done.

As I said to Brent earlier, you're going home at some point.

Let's get as many things done

for everyone out there as we possibly can, so.

- Can I teach a third phrase?

This is the first time. - Yeah, absolutely.

- Yeah, you go.

- This has never been done before. Okay.

And it has nothing to do with blast,

but I don't want to overstay my welcome.

- Ah, yes.

- So if you overstay your welcome,

that means you've been invited somewhere,

but you stay longer than the host wants you to stay.

- Yeah. I do that to people sometimes.

- I don't wanna overstay my welcome.

I wanna still get out while Bob likes me.

- Yeah and I do still like him. It's no problem.

Should we review? - Sure.

- So you're gonna do, it's been a blast.

- All right. We just learned it's been a blast.

It's another way to say that you've had a lot of fun.

- And I did the phrase, I had a blast,

which is just a kind of a more personal way to say

that you had a lot of fun.

So we had a blast. I had a blast. It's been a blast.

But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video.

This is from two videos ago.

So I'm gonna stand a little closer to Brent,

'cause the comment has to go on the screen somewhere,

but he's gonna read it.

- Okay. Can I pretend I'm Bob the Canadian again?

- Yeah, go ahead.

- I'll say it with a Canadian accent,

which is kind of like my accent.

So this comment is from Mohd Ags, and he says,

this lesson looked kind of familiar to me

because Brent, my man,

it's another way to say a good friend,

Brent, my man, once did an English lesson at a used car lot.

And I'm leaving this comment to thank him.

But also I'm thinking ahead of time here,

because I know you two are going to meet very soon.

- Yeah, so this is from a few days ago.

- So if you're planning on doing a short lesson together,

I give you the right comment.

I just gave you the right comment for the occasion.

Thanks to both of you gentlemen.

- And my reply.

We'll see what we can do about using the comment.

P.S. it won't be tomorrow's lesson,

which was last Friday's lesson, but next week's lesson.

So now the fun part.

Oh, thanks Mohd for the comment.

Fun part, now we pop the camera off.

- I love this part.

This is my favorite part of the lesson.

- And we just walk and we just talk.

So Brent, you've had a good time.

- Right. - We've made a couple videos.

We made another video.

We're making another video.

You're making a video.

It's been a lot of work,

but I would say if we were gonna talk highlights,

the highlight for me of this trip was the zip line.

That was the funnest part.

Even though we were kind of making a video at the time,

I often forgot that's what we were doing.

It was fun. How'd you like it?

- Absolutely, well, I like the zip lining,

but why don't I take like a cheesier response?

- Sure.

- You know, I just enjoyed having time spent with you.

- It was fun to do something together.

In fact, I would say this, we laughed a lot,

but when you think about making a video in public,

I always find it kind of daunting.

Brent has said the same,

but I found when we were doing it together,

I didn't care what people thought.

I felt like we were more of a team.

So we were like a team out making a video together.

It was way easier to just talk to the camera,

even though there was all kinds of people around.

But anyways, we're gonna wrap this up.

I had a blast. We had a blast. It's been a blast.

I hope you guys enjoyed

the couple days that we spent together

and after this video, there will be a few more coming out,

trickling out over time.

So thanks for coming, Brent.

- Oh, thanks for having me.

- And everybody out there, have a great day.

Bye. - See you.
