This isn't an English lesson.

This week I thought I would
2
4106
1447
00:05
do something a little bit different.
3
5554
1871
00:07
You see, I've been teaching English here
4
7426
1903
00:09
on YouTube for over seven years.
5
9330
2239
00:11
Almost eight years I think
6
11570
1423
00:12
in January it will be eight years.
7
12994
2127
00:15
And during that time, you have all seen me.
8
15122
3615
00:18
You know what I look like.
9
18738
1135
00:19
If you saw me on the street, you would recognize me.
10
19874
2399
00:22
But I actually don't know what any of you look like.
11
22274
3231
00:25
So I have a special request this week.
12
25506
2529
00:28
I would love it if you would take a
13
28036
2287
00:30
picture of yourself and send it to me.
14
30324
2359
00:32
You can send it to the email address on
15
32684
1807
00:34
the screen, [email protected] and make sure you tell me
16
34492
4727
00:39
what your first name is as well.
17
39220
1727
00:40
And if you send me a picture, I will
18
40948
2223
00:43
feature it on my live stream on Saturday.
19
43172
3055
00:46
This coming Saturday, I'll be doing a
20
46228
1655
00:47
live English Q and A lesson.
21
47884
2207
00:50
And during the lesson, I will pause
22
50092
1703
00:51
from time to time and show pictures
23
51796
2143
00:53
of people who watch my English lessons.
24
53940
2663
00:56
Now, maybe you're not comfortable taking your photo.
25
56604
2991
00:59
I've created some example photos that you can send.
26
59596
2815
01:02
You can send photos where I can see your face.
27
62412
2887
01:05
You can send photos like the ones that you're
28
65300
2055
01:07
seeing to the left of me right now.
29
67356
2159
01:09
Or you can send photos where I can't see your face,
30
69516
2983
01:12
where I just see your office, where you study English.
31
72500
2863
01:15
Or maybe something outside like the
32
75364
2423
01:17
examples I'm showing you now.
33
77788
2347
01:20
So this isn't something where I want to
34
80136
2775
01:22
see exactly what all of you look like.
35
82912
2271
01:25
Although I am curious
36
85184
1079
01:26
sometimes. You see me, but I never actually
37
86264
2823
01:29
get a chance to see who you are.
38
89088
2567
01:31
So if you could take a moment, maybe you
39
91656
2335
01:33
need a friend to help take a photo.
40
93992
1839
01:35
Follow the examples I've given you.
41
95832
2071
01:37
Make sure they are vertical in nature so that I can nicely
42
97904
3879
01:41
show them to the side of me during my live stream.
43
101784
2687
01:44
And if you send a photo to [email protected] and if
44
104472
4915
01:49
you give me your first name, you are also giving
45
109388
2359
01:51
me permission to show that photo on my YouTube channel.
46
111748
4143
01:55
So I think this will be kind of fun.
47
115892
2007
01:57
I'm not sure how many photos I'll get.
48
117900
1903
01:59
Maybe 10, maybe 50, maybe 100. Maybe too many
49
119804
4223
02:04
and I'll have to live stream for
50
124028
1567
02:05
five hours to show all the photos.
51
125596
2119
02:07
Who knows? It could be just a lot.
52
127716
2647
02:10
But again, I'm curious.
53
130364
1895
02:12
I know you look forward to an English lesson every week,
54
132260
2815
02:15
and I'm letting you down by simply asking you for something,
55
135076
3303
02:18
but I think this will be kind of fun.
56
138380
1829
02:20
So find a camera.
57
140210
1319
02:21
Find a phone. Take a photo. Send it to [email protected]
58
141530
4751
02:26
and we'll see what we can do with it. Thanks. Bye.
