Learn the English Phrase "I owe you one." and the French Phrase "Merci beaucoup!"

In this English lesson,

I wanted to help you learn the English phrase

I owe you one.

This means the same thing as saying thank you,

and I want to say to all of you, I owe you one.

I had a lot of fun

reading all of the comments on the last video,

where I asked you for ideas.

Sorry, I said all the comments.

I haven't read all of them yet,

but I think as of this morning, there's 144.

I've read many of them.

There's far too many for me to respond,

but I've certainly enjoyed reading them, so I owe you one.

Thank you for your thoughts.

Thank you for your ideas.

It's a lot of fun to read through

and to kind of see what you guys were saying,

so thank you so much for that.

So once again, when you say, "I owe you one,"

it means the same thing as saying, "Thank you."

The other phrase I wanted to teach you today

isn't an English phrase.

It's merci beaucoup,

which is just a French way of saying thank you as well.

So thank you very much, I owe you one, merci beaucoup.

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

Let me see what I have in my pocket here.

I did respond to one of the 144 comments, and I said,

oh no, wait, let's read what Judit had to say.

"Yes to all of your questions,

and the length, when I have time, it is too short.

When I don't have time, it is too long, but I manage.

I miss you responding to my comments, though."

And my response.

"I miss that, too.

It's one of my favorite things about this channel."

Don't worry, I'll resume doing that with this video.

So yes,

I've been a little slow to reply to comments, haven't I?

And I'll try to make sure that I get on that.

And it isn't a burden for me.

I do really enjoy responding to all of your comments.

It's a lot of fun to read them.

I think my response average is pretty good.

I do usually find the time to respond to most of them,

and it helps that there's only 30 or 40.

When there's 144, like there were on the previous video,

it gets a little challenging to be able to do that.

So anyways, thanks once again.

I will get back to that, Judit.

It's a lot of fun, and it helps me connect with all of you.

Hey, as you can see, there is a skiff of snow.

I don't know if you can see on all the roofs here,

but let me spin you around.

You can see that the roof on some of these houses is white,

and if I walk over to this park,

you can see that we've had,

I guess you could call it our first snowfall.

I mean, it's not huge by any stretch of the imagination.

Let me spin you back around.

But certainly we have had snow.

It's been snowing on and off,

but the snow hasn't stayed on the ground.

Early in the fall, the the ground is quite warm,

and so sometimes we'll have snow,

but as soon as it hits the ground, it will melt.

But this time, we had snow during the night

and it seems to have taken the time to remain,

so we can see that it has not melted yet,

so that's really cool.

Anyways, I'm not sure what else to say.

It's only three minutes,

and I usually talk for four minutes, don't I?

I must have done

the beginning part of the lesson very, very quickly.

So let me go on a little bit more

about some of the comments yesterday.

Most of you said everything's just right.

I like it when people say,

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

That should be the phrase maybe

that I teach you today as well.

That's a saying we use when something is working well,

and then when someone wants to modify it or change it,

sometimes we'll say, "Hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it,"

meaning nothing's broken, everything's working great.

Why would you even consider changing it?

So I will read through all of them

and I will kind of pick out some ideas

that will make the channel better,

but no major changes.

But it is nice to know what all of you are thinking

and what all of you are feeling.

So thank you once again very much for that.

You should read some of them, too.

I'm sure some of you do that,

but it is fun to read other people's comments as well.

Anyways, thanks for watching.

I'll see you with a new video in a few days.

Have a good weekend. Bye.
