Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases BEAR WITH ME and BEAR A GRUDGE: In this English lesson I wanted to help you learn the English phrase bear with me. When you say to someone, bear with me, you are asking them to be patient with you. Here's a great example. You'll notice that on this YouTube channel, I often reply to all the comments, but yesterday I didn't and today I didn't, because I'm really busy because school is starting again. So a great thing for me to say to you right now is "I'm sorry I wasn't able to respond to all the comments. Please bear with me because I'm very, very busy right now." So again, when you say to someone, please bear with me or bear with me, it basically means please be patient, please just relax and don't get upset. For me in my case because I'm really busy right now. I didn't realize how busy the start of school was going to be. By the way students come back next Tuesday. But we have been in meetings all week. So please bear with me.I'll start responding to all comments again in the near future because I don't want you to bear a grudge. When you bear a grudge, it means that you get upset with someone and you remain upset with them. So when you bear a grudge, it means that maybe you and a friend got along really well. Maybe your friend did something that you didn't like, and now you don't like talking to your friend anymore. And you're actually not friends because you are bearing a grudge. Basically, whatever your friend did has upset you so much that now you don't want to talk to them because you are currently bearing a grudge. So I hope that you can please bear with me. Please be patient. And please be kind as I will be having trouble responding to all comments for the next few days. And please don't bear a grudge. I know you won't. I know from the comments in the past that all of you who leave comments regularly are super nice people. I really appreciate the comments that you leave.So again, please bear with me as I go through a very busy week or two in my life. So please be patient and please don't bear a grudge, which means please don't be annoyed or angry or upset with me because I'm not responding to comments. By the way, it is one of the highlights of my day to respond to comments on this channel. On my bigger channel, I try to respond to comments for the first hour or so after a video comes out, but there are so many comments. It's hard to keep up, but on this smaller channel, it is kind of fun just to have a smaller group of people.So let's look at a comment. This comment is from Roberto and Roberto says, "Talk the talk and walk the walk. It reminds me of put your money where your mouth is." And my response was "Yes, exactly. Nice work, Roberto." Well, thank you Roberto, for that comment. And yes you are exactly right. The English phrase, he needs to put his money where his mouth is or put your money where your mouth is means that if you are gonna say you're gonna do a certain thing, make sure that your actions are related to or actually model what you have been saying. Sorry, that sounded a little complex. Basically, if you say you're gonna do something, do it. Don't just talk about it, actually go out, do it.Hey, I'm going to spend the last minute here just telling you a little bit more about my life. I will be completely honest with you. And if my boss is watching this, I hope he doesn't I get upset. We really aren't ready to start school here in Ontario. We are really rushing the start of school.(Transcript shortened due to Podcast description length restrictions.)WANT MORE ENGLISH LESSONS?
