Meaning of WHERE THERE'S A WILL THERE'S A WAY - A Short English Lesson with Subtitles

So in English, when you say,

"Where there's a will, there's a way."

it means that if you have the desire to do something,

if you want to do something,

if you have the will to do something,

you can do it, even if it's something that seems impossible.

Let's talk about learning English.

Learning English can seem like an impossible task,

but if you have the desire, if you have the willpower,

and if you want to do it,

where there's a will, there's a way.

So if you really want to do something,

you will find a way to get it done.

I always think that, long ago, when people saw this river,

they probably wondered how they were going to get across it,

and eventually, they actually built a bridge,

because where there's a will, there's a way.

So they had a desire to cross the river,

and in order to do that, they built a bridge.

So where there's a will, there's a way

means if you want to do something,

you will find a way to do it.

And in order to do it,

you might have to put your mind to it.

In English, if we say that you put your mind to it,

if you put your mind to something,

it means that you start to think about

how to do the thing that you want to do.

Maybe you really, really want to

learn the English language.

If you put your mind to it, if you work really, really hard

and you focus all of your brain power,

eventually you will learn the English language.

So where there's a will, there's a way

means that if you want to do something,

you will find a way to do it,

and if you put your mind to it,

if you put your mind to something,

it means that you are going to work really hard

and think really hard so that you can get it done.

Anyways, Bob the Canadian here.

How do you like my toque today?

In English, in Canada we call a winter hat a toque.

It's just a little bit cold out here.

It's going down to -17 Celsius tonight.

Woo, that's cold!
