Learn the English Phrases "to sell yourself short" and "in short supply"
In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase to sell yourself short. When you sell yourself short, it means you talk about yourself, not in a positive way about something. If I was to say to someone, you know, my English lessons on YouTube, they're not very good.They might say, hey, don't sell yourself short. Your lessons are actually really good. If you're going to apply for a job, you might say to someone, I don't think I'll get the job because I'm not very good at the task that they're looking for. Someone might say, hey, don't sell yourself short.You're actually really good at welding or typing or whatever the skill is that you think you are weak at. The other phrase I wanted to teach you today is in short supply. When something is in short supply, it means there isn't very much of it. Right now in Canada, in my part of Canada, at least, teachers are in short supply.There aren't enough teachers and we're having trouble finding people to hire. I think a lot of older teachers are retiring and not a lot of young people are going into that, this particular profession. In fact, they just shortened the time it takes to become a teacher from I think it was six years down to five years after high school.So to review, when you sell yourself short, you don't celebrate the things you are good at. Instead you kind of talk a little bit negatively about them. And when something is in short supply, it simply means there's not very much of that thing. But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video.This comment is from Mikami. I'm currently Learning English. This YouTube channel transcribes the spoken content, which makes it much easier to look up anything I don't understand. It's been a great help. Thank you very much. And my response, I'm happy that you appreciate the transcript.I do my best to make it 100% accurate. So thanks for that comment, Mikami. And yes, I try on this channel to make sure that when I'm done making the video, I upload it and I have AI make a transcript for it.It makes the subtitles and a transcript, but I still watch it at least once to correct any errors. I try to make it so it's 99 to 100% accurate. One of my pet peeves is when transcripts or subtitles aren't correct.Sometimes when I'm watching a movie in French, for instance, the words on the screen aren't the same as what they are saying, and that is frustrating. So if you don't know what I'm talking about. These short lessons all have a complete transcript in the description below. If you look down, and they have word for word English subtitles.So hopefully that helps those of you that like to turn those on and those of you that like to read the transcript before or after or even during the lesson. Well, I'm just out for a little walk today. I'm, basically thinking through my week and trying to figure out how to, adjust to having one car go to the garage when everyone in my house needs to be driving every day.So that makes things a little bit tricky. By the way, this vehicle is not our vehicle. Jen has a friend helping her on the farm today. But, yeah, we're getting... Things are a little bit... You would say things are a little bit tight. Vehicles are in short supply here at home right now.And so I have to make sure I find a way to make sure everyone gets to work. And it might mean some early mornings where I bring one of my kids to work before I go to work. That's not ideal, but it is certainly a way to solve the problem.Yeah, it's just routine. We have a vehicle going in because it needs brakes. We have another vehicle going in because it needs an oil change in a bit. All routine maintenance. And so, that just makes it a little bit trickier to get everyone where they need to be. Anyways, thanks for watching this short English lesson.I hope you're not having car problems or transportation problems wherever you are. And, I'll see you next week with another short, English lesson. Bye.

Learn the English Phrases "a warm body" and "body language"
Read along to learn the English phrases A WARM BODY and BODY LANGUAGEIn this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase a warm body. This is a phrase we use to talk about someone at work or at a place of work that doesn't do a whole lot and doesn't actually need a lot of skills to do their job. Sometimes you'll hear this.We need someone to sit at the door of the building and say hi to people when they walk in. We just need a warm body. Basically what you're saying is you don't need someone with a lot of skills. You don't need someone with a lot of intelligence. They just have to be able to smile and say hi.I think I would be good at that job. If they just needed a warm body somewhere to do something simple, I think I would be the person to hire. The other phrase I wanted to teach you today is the phrase body language. So body language is any time you communicate without words using your body.By shrug, it means maybe I don't understand or know what you're talking about. If I make a funny face, it means I don't know what you... I don't like what you said. So when you have body language, it's when you communicate using your body instead of words.So to review, a warm body is someone who does a job, who doesn't need a lot of intelligence or a lot of skill. Hi, Roger. Sorry. How are you doing? I'm just about done. I'm gonna walk away in two seconds. Nice seeing you.Okay. A warm body is someone who doesn't need a lot of intelligence in order to be able to do a job or does a job that's very simple, and body language is when you communicate using your body. But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from user.Please could you reply if you see my comments and my reply? Sure. On this channel, I reply to most of the comments if time allows. Thanks for leaving 2. And I think you actually left three, so very cool. Anyways, yes, on this channel I do my best to answer all the comments and I think my track record is that I answer probably 80 to 90% of the comments.I think that, there are stretches of time where I don't answer the comments where I don't have a lot of time. But there is also times where I'm pretty good on this channel at answering almost all of the comments. And I like that it's a nice smaller community over here.A lot of people from my main channel also comment here. So that's kind of cool. But it is nice to be able to connect with some of you and get to know you better. So, yes, that is what I do. Hey, it's a little windy out here today, but I did want to walk by this tree.I wish I had a tree like this on my property. It has beautiful flowers on it. I wouldn't call them blossoms. You know, in my lesson about spring, I talked about blossoms. Those seem a little bigger than blossoms. I would probably call those flowers instead, but I'm just on a little walk here in town trying to make sure I don't get anyone on camera who doesn't want to be, as people walk by.But, yeah, it was kind of funny running into Roger. You heard me say hi to Roger. So Roger is actually someone I know. That big truck that you saw in the background is actually a truck that he uses to go to market to sell apples.I think right now he works for a local fruit farmer, and that's one of his jobs. Obviously, on a Tuesday, he's on his way to market to sell apples and other things. So, anyways, here I am in town. What can I say about today?It's supposed to rain today, and Jen is not very happy about that. She wishes that it was a little warmer and a little sunnier. It's kind of go time on the farm. It's the time where we really want sunshine, and we really want things to warm up a little bit so that they start to grow.Anyways, thanks for watching this short English lesson. I'll see you next week with another one. Bye.
