Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases IT WAS MIND BLOWING and IT BLEW MY MINDIn this English lesson I wanted to help you learn the English phrase, it was mind blowing. You could also say it is mind blowing or it's going to be mind blowing. The tense doesn't actually matter. But when you talk about something that is mind blowing, you're talking about something that's amazing and hard to understand and it's just something that you're just not sure how to comprehend it. That was a pretty difficult explanation, I think. Let me rephrase that. If I go and see an amazing movie with lots of special effects, I could say the movie was mind blowing. It was mind blowing. I was just amazed and in awe at all the special effects that they used. If I think about the pandemic ending, I think that the first concert I go to is going to be mind blowing because it will be so much fun to be with other people listening to music again.WANT FREE ENGLISH LESSONS?

So we can say something was mind blowing, but we can also say it blew my mind, and it means exactly the same thing. If I watch a really cool movie, I could later say to someone, "Oh, it blew my mind. "The special effects in the movie were amazing. "The story was amazing. "There were so many awesome car chases. "It blew my mind." Basically, it means you were just amazed. It was hard to take it all in. It was very exciting. It's just an expression we use when we think something was really awesome or cool, but it can also mean something that's hard to understand. I gotta be careful here how I define it. 'Cause you can also say something like this, you know, "It blows my mind to think that the whole world is going through the same experience "right now with this pandemic." So that's not a positive use of the phrase, but it certainly reflects something that's hard to understand or comprehend or something that's amazing.So to review, if I say that it was mind blowing or if I say it blew my mind, I'm talking about things that are just hard to understand or comprehend. Hey, let's look at a comment, though, from a previous video. Let me find it. It's in my pocket here.I got a new sweater by the way. I got two of them. I got a darker one and a blue one. I'm very happy. They were on sale. They were only $20 each. That's a good price.But here's a comment from Athanasios. Athanasios says this, "Thanks, Teacher Bob. "I'm trying to get my head around how this blender works. "I can't make heads or tails of it." And my response was this. "I've always been a big fan of reading instructions. "Some people throw them out without reading them, "but I find they're a good way to get your head around "how to use something new."So thank you Athanasios for that comment. I'm not sure if you're reading the instructions for the blender that you're talking about, but I will tell you this. In life, I have always been an instruction reader. I don't know if that's part of the personality of someone who becomes a teacher.#englishlesson #englishvocabulary #speakenglish #bobthecanadianSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/bobthecanadian)
