- Hi, Bob, the Canadian here.

00:01
I wanted to make one last video for the year 2020
1
1740
3610
00:05
because I had a few things I wanted to say.
2
5350
1940
00:07
The first thing I want to say is this:
3
7290
2550
00:09
I like you.
4
9840
1170
00:11
I like you a lot.
5
11010
1990
00:13
Now you might be sitting there watching this video thinking,
6
13000
3330
00:16
how can Bob the Canadian like me?
7
16330
2100
00:18
We've never met in real life.
8
18430
2370
00:20
I know a little bit about him
9
20800
1980
00:22
because I've watched his videos,
10
22780
1660
00:24
but how can Bob the Canadian say he likes me?
11
24440
3670
00:28
Well, there's one thing I know about you.
12
28110
2740
00:30
And that one thing makes me like you a lot.
13
30850
2640
00:33
And it's this:
14
33490
1030
00:34
You have decided to learn another language.
15
34520
3530
00:38
It is incredibly difficult to learn another language
16
38050
4090
00:42
but you decided a year ago, maybe two years ago,
17
42140
3850
00:45
maybe many years ago that you were going to learn
18
45990
2960
00:48
another language and you chose to learn English.
19
48950
2830
00:51
So, because I know that about you, I like you.
20
51780
3320
00:55
I have always liked people who are willing
21
55100
2450
00:57
to do difficult things.
22
57550
1410
00:58
I have always liked people who are willing
23
58960
2500
01:01
to take on huge challenges and then succeed.
24
61460
3190
01:04
So you are awesome and I like you a lot.
25
64650
3220
01:07
The second thing I wanted to say is this:
26
67870
2180
01:10
I am just thankful that you watched my videos in 2020.
27
70050
4410
01:14
When I looked back over the year,
28
74460
2300
01:16
I looked at some of the videos I made
29
76760
1910
01:18
and two videos stood out to me as being my favorites.
30
78670
3530
01:22
I'm not sure if they're your favorites,
31
82200
1930
01:24
but I really liked the video where I taught the prepositions
32
84130
3770
01:27
in, on, by an at because I got to climb a tree.
33
87900
3990
01:31
And I really enjoyed doing the video about my pet peeves.
34
91890
3590
01:35
That was a fun video for me to make as well.
35
95480
2370
01:37
So when I looked back on 2020,
36
97850
2660
01:40
I randomly read through some comments on different videos.
37
100510
3750
01:44
And I just have to once again, say, thank you
38
104260
2510
01:46
for watching my lessons.
39
106770
1480
01:48
I know it sounds funny when the teacher thanks the students
40
108250
3790
01:52
for watching their lessons or for doing their lessons
41
112040
2730
01:54
but I just really appreciate it.
42
114770
2200
01:56
Not because of the thumbs ups and not because of the views,
43
116970
3570
02:00
but just because you guys
44
120540
1320
02:01
have given me really good feedback.
45
121860
2110
02:03
And most of you have said that you enjoy my lessons
46
123970
3270
02:07
and that they are helpful.
47
127240
1000
02:08
So thank you so much for watching my lessons
48
128240
2770
02:11
in the past year.
49
131010
1120
02:12
2020 was kind of a strange year.
50
132130
2380
02:14
It had its ups and downs, we would say in English,
51
134510
2830
02:17
but certainly I really enjoyed all
52
137340
2260
02:19
of the video lessons that I created.
53
139600
2140
02:21
I do wanna say thank you as well to those of you
54
141740
2200
02:23
that come to my live streams.
55
143940
1420
02:25
I love doing the live streams every Friday and Saturday.
56
145360
4280
02:29
It's just a lot of fun to teach a topic on Friday
57
149640
2530
02:32
and to just hang out with you on Saturday
58
152170
2390
02:34
and answer your questions.
59
154560
900
02:35
So when I look back on 2020, thank you very much.
60
155460
3660
02:39
In a few days on January 3rd,
61
159120
2280
02:41
my channel will be four years old.
62
161400
2280
02:43
I will have been doing YouTube for four years.
63
163680
3290
02:46
There's a great verb test.
64
166970
1360
02:48
That's for you.
65
168330
833
02:49
I will have been doing YouTube for four years
66
169163
2507
02:51
and I can hardly believe it.
67
171670
1220
02:52
It seems like time has gone very quickly.
68
172890
3350
02:56
I did notice though that my hair is a lot grayer
69
176240
4480
03:00
than it was four years ago.
70
180720
1700
03:02
If you go back and watch some of my earlier videos,
71
182420
3220
03:05
my hair was more brown than gray
72
185640
2040
03:07
but it certainly has started to turn gray.
73
187680
2800
03:10
So anyways, in a few days
74
190480
2200
03:12
it will be the four-year anniversary of my channel.
75
192680
2850
03:15
Thank you for being subscribers and for watching
76
195530
2270
03:17
and for just helping me build something
77
197800
2170
03:19
that I think is really cool.
78
199970
1840
03:21
I know I could claim that I built it,
79
201810
3150
03:24
but you can't build something without everyone helping out.
80
204960
3330
03:28
So thank you for being subscribers and members
81
208290
2180
03:30
and watching videos and just helping me build
82
210470
2500
03:32
this little spot on the internet
83
212970
2060
03:35
where people can learn a bit more English.
84
215030
2280
03:37
Now let's talk about 2021.
85
217310
2030
03:39
2021 starts later today
86
219340
2380
03:41
if you're watching this video on December 31st.
87
221720
2590
03:44
Everyone tonight will yell happy new year
88
224310
2580
03:46
but most people will be at really small parties because...
89
226890
3380
03:50
or not at a party at all.
90
230270
1370
03:51
I'm not going to a party, by the way.
91
231640
1530
03:53
It'll just be Jen and I and the kids tonight,
92
233170
2790
03:55
but it will be 2021.
93
235960
1200
03:57
So first of all, what should you do in 2021?
94
237160
3103
04:01
First of all, don't feel bad if you didn't learn
95
241660
3390
04:05
as much English as you wanted to in 2020.
96
245050
3400
04:08
So if you finished 2020 and you were like,
97
248450
2210
04:10
oh, I had really big goals
98
250660
2030
04:12
and I didn't learn as much English as I wanted to.
99
252690
2940
04:15
Don't worry about it.
100
255630
1020
04:16
Don't stress about it.
101
256650
1310
04:17
Set new goals for 2021.
102
257960
2550
04:20
Just work harder at the things that you know
103
260510
2370
04:22
you need to work hard at.
104
262880
1630
04:24
I think 2021 will be a great year.
105
264510
1980
04:26
I am obviously back from a little break.
106
266490
2720
04:29
If you didn't realize it, I haven't made a video
107
269210
2520
04:31
on this channel since last Saturday or last Friday.
108
271730
3640
04:35
No, actually it's been longer than that.
109
275370
1810
04:37
It's been so long I can't even remember.
110
277180
1570
04:38
But I'm back.
111
278750
1460
04:40
In two days there'll be a new video
112
280210
1950
04:42
and it will be a grammar lesson.
113
282160
1390
04:43
Two days after that there'll be another video
114
283550
1980
04:45
and it will be a grammar lesson,
115
285530
1290
04:46
I think you will enjoy it.
116
286820
1170
04:47
I'm starting the year with some hard lessons.
117
287990
2532
04:50
(laughing)
118
290522
833
04:51
I've started the year with some lessons
119
291355
1575
04:52
that I think you will really enjoy
120
292930
1740
04:54
and that will really help you improve your English.
121
294670
2430
04:57
So what should you do in 2021?
122
297100
2160
04:59
Set good goals, be determined, do well,
123
299260
3810
05:03
just be positive about the year.
124
303070
2040
05:05
Don't let maybe some failures of the last year influence
125
305110
5000
05:10
how you think about the future. Okay?
126
310250
2240
05:12
Make sure that you are just positive
127
312490
2270
05:14
and having good, happy thoughts.
128
314760
1520
05:16
Happy thoughts are a good thing to have.
129
316280
2310
05:18
Anyways, I don't have a lot else to say.
130
318590
2100
05:20
I think I've thanked you too many times
131
320690
1700
05:22
but I'll thank you once again.
132
322390
1480
05:23
Thank you so much for watching my videos.
133
323870
2990
05:26
This was never going to be something
134
326860
1950
05:28
as big as what it is. Okay?
135
328810
2030
05:30
When I initially started, it was just something
136
330840
2400
05:33
I was doing just to learn some stuff.
137
333240
2200
05:35
And then all of you started watching.
138
335440
2100
05:37
So thank you very much.
139
337540
833
05:38
Thanks to all of you who have been here for four years.
140
338373
2877
05:41
Thanks to those of you that have just joined
141
341250
1940
05:43
in the last week.
142
343190
833
05:44
But anyways, I'm gonna go now.
143
344023
2090
05:47
It's kind of a miserable day here,
144
347270
1620
05:48
but I'm in a really good mood
145
348890
1440
05:50
so I'll leave you with a smile.
146
350330
1400
05:51
I hope you have a great December 31st
147
351730
2970
05:54
and I hope you have an amazing 2021.
148
354700
3260
05:57
Bye.
