Well, hello and welcome
0
360
1170
00:01
to this English lesson in the rain.
1
1530
2520
00:04
I don't like to skip making a lesson.
2
4050
3000
00:07
Each week, I like to make a lesson
3
7050
1980
00:09
and have it available for you on Tuesdays,
4
9030
1920
00:10
but this week the weather did not cooperate.
5
10950
3630
00:14
Every day I had the best intentions.
6
14580
2790
00:17
Every day I thought,
7
17370
1117
00:18
"I'll go outside and I'll make that lesson today."
8
18487
2663
00:21
But then the weather would be awful.
9
21150
1530
00:22
It would be rainy and windy,
10
22680
1710
00:24
and kind of like it is right now.
11
24390
1860
00:26
So even though I had the best intentions
12
26250
2850
00:29
the weather did not cooperate.
13
29100
2610
00:31
And so making the English lesson for this week
14
31710
2340
00:34
always fell to the bottom of the list.
15
34050
2820
00:36
When something doesn't cooperate, by the way,
16
36870
2400
00:39
it means that it doesn't do what you want it to do.
17
39270
3240
00:42
And when you have the best intentions
18
42510
1620
00:44
it means that you wanted to do it,
19
44130
2460
00:46
but there were a number of things
20
46590
1380
00:47
that prevented you from doing it.
21
47970
2550
00:50
And then when something falls to the bottom of your list
22
50520
3030
00:53
it means that other things take priority
23
53550
3510
00:57
And that was the other problem,
24
57060
1080
00:58
things kept popping up,
25
58140
1950
01:00
Things kept coming up in my life
26
60090
1740
01:01
that prevented me from making an English lesson, as well.
27
61830
3180
01:05
So I thought this morning, "You know what?
28
65010
2220
01:07
I'm just going to go outside and do it."
29
67230
2490
01:09
It'll be a really short lesson.
30
69720
1770
01:11
This is probably going to be
31
71490
1350
01:12
one of my shortest lessons ever.
32
72840
2040
01:14
Let's all hope that over the next few days,
33
74880
3060
01:17
I have the best intentions
34
77940
1860
01:19
to make an actual, long English lesson.
35
79800
2640
01:22
Let's all hope that the weather cooperates
36
82440
2310
01:24
over the next few days,
37
84750
1170
01:25
so that next week there is a proper English lesson for you.
38
85920
3300
01:29
And let's hope that things don't keep popping up in my life,
39
89220
4020
01:33
that things don't keep coming up,
40
93240
1830
01:35
that prevent me from making an English lesson.
41
95070
2400
01:37
Hopefully, everything, let me see,
42
97470
2190
01:39
what's another good English phrase?
43
99660
1140
01:40
Hopefully, the stars align.
44
100800
2940
01:43
In English, when you say the stars align,
45
103740
1740
01:45
it means everything works out
46
105480
1950
01:47
and you're able to accomplish something
47
107430
1770
01:49
that you want to accomplish.
48
109200
1530
01:50
You can see my umbrellas moving quite a bit.
49
110730
2580
01:53
Did you notice there's little flowers on it?
50
113310
1620
01:54
I'm not sure if you did.
51
114930
1320
01:56
So anyways, this is a little English lesson
52
116250
3300
01:59
that isn't really an English lesson.
53
119550
1740
02:01
It's sort of an English lesson.
54
121290
1710
02:03
I think every time I make a video,
55
123000
2040
02:05
it becomes an English lesson.
56
125040
1920
02:06
I can't help myself.
57
126960
1800
02:08
In English, when you say you can't help yourself,
58
128760
2160
02:10
it means you do something without even thinking about it.
59
130920
3360
02:14
So whenever I talk on camera, I can't help myself.
60
134280
2970
02:17
I always end up teaching a little bit of English.
61
137250
2640
02:19
So a number of phrases there for you.
62
139890
2340
02:22
Let me see, can I think of any other ones right now?
63
142230
2460
02:24
Not really.
64
144690
833
02:25
All I can say is that the weather today
65
145523
2587
02:28
is not being very cooperative.
66
148110
1830
02:29
That's another way to say it.
67
149940
1860
02:31
I'm not even sure if the audio
68
151800
1770
02:33
on this little English lesson will be good.
69
153570
2580
02:36
It might be a little bit,
70
156150
1503
02:39
like have little weird noises from the wind.
71
159300
2250
02:41
I hope my umbrella doesn't pop the other way.
72
161550
2820
02:44
You know how they go inside out sometimes?
73
164370
2430
02:46
But anyways, thanks for watching.
74
166800
2340
02:49
There will be a proper English lesson next week,
75
169140
1890
02:51
as long as I get everything in order
76
171030
2760
02:53
and get outside to do it.
77
173790
1140
02:54
So see you then, bye.
