Learn the English Phrases "to feel at home" and "There's no place like home!"

In this English lesson, I wanted to help

you learn the English phrase to feel at

home. When you go somewhere else, somewhere that's

not your home and you really enjoy it.

You can describe it by saying that you feel at home.

Sometimes when you go and stay at a friend's

house, maybe it's just really relaxing and really enjoyable.

And you can say, well, when I'm at

Joe's place, I just feel at home.

What you're saying basically is that you have the

same calm feeling you have when you're in your

own apartment or in your own house.

And then there's an extension to this when you visit.

Sometimes people say, make yourself at

home or come on over.

I hope you feel at home as you visit me.

So a nice feeling when you are somewhere else, the

feeling that you normally have when you're at home.

The other phrase I wanted to teach you

today is there's no place like home.

So this is a phrase that you sometimes say

after you've been away and you're home again.

I'm feeling this right now.

There's no place like home.

I am having a very enjoyable summer.

I am just enjoying being at home.

And I would describe it by using

this phrase, there's no place like home.

So to review, to feel at home means to

have that warm, fuzzy feeling that you have when

you're at your own home, but have that feeling

when you're at someone else's place.

And when you say there's no place

like home, you're simply saying that you

really enjoy being home in your house.

Usually after a trip, you walk in, you set down your

suitcase and you say, ha, there's no place like home.

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

This comment is from Meng Ying Zhang.

The river has flooded a little bit again.

It seems that the water swells every

once in a while each summer.

Anyways, have a good day.

And my response, it's been incredibly

wet this past few weeks.

I hope the rain stops soon.

It's starting to feel a bit like last year.

So yeah, it is wet here.

Like when I say wet, like concerning.

It just keeps raining every single day.

If you look here down at this puddle, you'll see

that there are little raindrops hitting it right now.

And honestly, I hope it stops soon.

This is getting a little bit crazy.

We haven't gotten as much rain

as other parts of Ontario.

Out where Jen's parents live.

They're getting horrible amounts of rain.

Fields are flooding in some areas.

It's just not very good at all.

So we're thankful that we're not

in that kind of situation.

But if you look over here as well,

you'll see that the river hasn't quite flooded.

And I really hope it doesn't because I did

plant a late crop way in the distance.

There's a field way over there and

hopefully the river doesn't jump its banks.

But yeah, from the comment Meng, definitely the

river is higher than it normally is this

time of year and not overly concerning.

But you know, I was out in the

flower field this morning putting posts in for

Jen, like pounding posts into the ground.

And everywhere I stepped, I would get a soaker.

A soaker is when you step in a puddle

and then your shoe gets filled with water.

So right now I'm actually wearing my rubber boots.

But I did realize that my rubber boots, my

one rubber boot has a hole in it.

So I'm probably going to end up getting a

wet foot as I make this video as well.

But yeah, hopefully it stops raining soon.

In fact, it rained so much the other

day, I mowed lawn in the rain.

You can see I left a whole bunch of little tufts

of grass because I was mowing the lawn while it was

raining because, well, I just wanted to get it done.

And for those of you that are wondering about the

windows, yes, there are new windows in the house.

I'll do a little video of that.

Maybe the next lesson will have

something to do with windows.

Anyways, thanks for watching. I'll see you in a couple

days with another short English lesson. Bye.
