Learn the English Phrases "stuck in your ways" and "to be stuck on something"

[@noriko244]

I think we need someone who is stuck in their way cuz we feel comfort every time we see them. As for me, this year is a zoo. Sometimes I have to skip or forget to watch some of your videos (Sorry about this.) And when I am able to come back here, I feel pretty calm, relax and comfy. Like I'm in the comfort zone reading viewers comments, watching Bob's cool lesson. Hey, they are still there!! It always motivates me 😉🌻💐 Changing is amazing but being stuck in one's way is not too bad. Thanks.

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

I'm always here. If life gets busy for you, that's life! Glad to hear you come back from time to time! 😎👕👍

[@KonstantinEgorovSpb]

Bob's channel is great connector✋🏻

[@JessicaWong-vw8ts]

Thanks, Bob.😊

Hi Bob, I learn English from KZbin channel every day, such as " Learn English with Bob the Canadian" and "Bob's Short English Lessons."🎉☺👍

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

I'm happy to hear that and I'm happy to help! 😎👕👍

[@jameswilson5230]

From the bottom of my heart thank you Bob

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

You're welcome James! 😎👕👍

[@unsalhakanuysal4889]

You are awesome! Thanks! 💯🌹💐♥️😎👍

[@Know-that]

Yep, breaking out of a pattern is not an easy thing, Bob, especially when you've been used to doing things a certain way for a long time 😘. (Like you with your printed phrases here.) Even if the alternatives may seem faster, more practical or, let's say, more modern. I think you've simply developed your own dynamic and process over the course of your time here and despite alternative possibilities, it just works perfectly for you as it is ❤. Even though you like to try something new every now and then. Thanks a lot, Bob. Take care and have a lovely day. 🧍‍♂️🌳☀️

It's also a nice prop (the piece of paper). It reminds me of what I'm doing, and it is weatherproof! 😎👕👍

[@Know-that]

​@@bobsshortenglishlessons Haha, oh yeah, it is definitely weatherproof. It has proven that many times.....just like the teacher in front of the camera, Bob 😘. You already answered all the comments here on Monday instead of Tuesday/Wednesday. I would say, now it is really (officially) noticeable that you have to be back in your school mode or school routine soon 👨‍🏫. Oh man, how quickly time flies. Thanks Bob, you're awesome. I wish you a wonderful Tuesday. 🌱☀️🍂❄️

[@Know-that]

@@bobsshortenglishlessons Just a quick reminder here, Bob. Since you mentioned on Friday that you wanted to mention again this week that the live lesson is on Thursday instead of Friday. 😘🫶😊

[@vitor00v]

With the internet, knowledge is getting more democratic, and that is pretty good. The bad thing is that people don’t value knowledge as much as it needed to be valued. I was in a meeting some days ago, and a client said that people on the internet prefer entertainment instead of knowledge. That is true. A video with someone doing something stupid can reach more than someone teaching something useful. I would love to see each of your videos reach more than 1M as soon as they are posted, but you and I know that it is quite hard. Anyway, Thank you, Bob.

[@noriko244]

But there are some people who prefer watching education videos to entertaining ones. Definitely like us.😊 I'm glad that you're one of them. Have a nice weekend, Vitor.

[@Know-that]

I agree with you, Noriko. There are some people who prefer educational videos to entertainment videos. (And you two are definitely among them 😊). But Vitor has a good point. I also think, or let's say I also have the feeling that the general preferences are moving more and more towards entertainment. (Which is somehow a pity.) @Vitor: Yep, that would be really awesome to see each of Bob's videos reach more than 1M as soon as he posts them. 😎🏆 @both: Although I became a part of the community here later than you two, I say that it is nice that you two are one of them. Anyways, I wish you both a wonderful day/weekend. Take care. 🌱🌳🗺

[@vitor00v]

Hi, Noriko! I always say that Bob is so much better than the other stuff we can find on the internet. He teaches us, builds awesome things, is kind, and the most important thing: he does sound effects. Bob is the whole package. 😆 Better later than never, Know That. Bob’s community without your presence and comments is not the same. We are glad to have you here. 😉 Thanks. Have a nice day both of you! 😊☀🍮

[@Know-that]

​​​​​@@vitor00v Yep, I completely agree with you, Vitor. Bob is truly a gem 💎. I'm sure that he (as humble as he is) would not confirm this, but I think it's just a fact. I also think that he has a huge amount of experience in all areas of life and the fact that he shares this experience with us and passes them on to us, like a father does with his kids, is simply great 🍀. Thanks for your kind words, Vitor. Have a great day. See you. 👨‍💻🇧🇷📚

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

You are right. A video of a person falling can reach more people than a video of someone teaching something meaningful. Either way, for me, I enjoy making videos that a useful. I'm not sure I could make videos that just entertain. I wouldn't feel as fulfilled. 😎👕👍

[@tammytsang3487]

I have never met you in person, Bob but I am sure that you are multi- talented and a fest learner too. Sometimes I get stuck on things , and then I will take a break to think about other ways to solve the problems. Have a nice weekend!

I'm either a fast learner, or incredibly stubborn. One of the two! 😎👕👍

Thanks a lot for the lesson, Bob! As you get older, you get stuck in your ways; just as you become stiffer physically, you also become stiffer mentally and more narrow-minded unless you make a conscious effort to keep yourself flexible. - Viggo Mortensen

I'll try to stay flexible on all fronts! 😎👕👍

[@voiretvisite4447]

Hello, thanks for this video! To be stuck in its ways can mean someone is stubborn, isn't it? Some years ago, I heard a song which its title is "stuck in the middle (with you)". What does that mean? Have a nice day!

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

Yes, stuck in your ways reveals you are most likely stubborn. To be stuck in the middle depends on the song, but I expect it means you are in a life situation with someone and can't get out of it! 😎👕👍

I agree that you are stuck in your ways of using paper to teach us the phrases. It's more visual for us and it's practical for you too.

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

It's practical and it's now a tradition! 😎👕👍

[@mengyingzhang-uz4cg]

I'm often stuck in my ways at work, which I see as a way to be efficient. By the way, the weather where you are is sunny and beautiful most of the time. Have a good day.

[@parkashlohana9217]

Dear Bob, how do you recycle these pieces of paper because earlier I thought it's new unused piece of paper everytime? By the way, can we relate phrase stuck in my ways to old habits die hard?

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

It's new paper every time, but in Canada we recycle all paper. It goes in the recycle bin. 😎👕👍

[@joyyyy777]

Actually, I like the way you teach with the papers rather than using iPad. I don't like digital. So please stuck in your ways!

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

The paper is simpler and weatherproof! 😎👕👍

[@mohdags420]

Hey Bob! (Usually I say "Mr. Bob" but I wanted it to be like the song!)😉 Anyways, what does "We're just spitballing here" mean? And is "throwing a softball" the opposite of "throwing a curveball?" Care to do a lesson on baseball related phrases, perhaps while sporting your Blue Jays cap and tee? So, what do you say Mr. Bob? Are you gonna play ball or what? 😆🧢

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

I'll think about it, although I'll have to figure out if there are enough of them! 😎👕👍

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

Oh, to answer your question, yes a curveball is something unexpected, a softball is an easy request. 😎👕👍

Being stuck in your ways doesn't mean you are bad or outdated. It's called a tradition - and people love traditions, especially tasty ones!

Showing the papers in a lesson is an important attribute of your channel, please keep it. It makes your thumbnails standout in the mess KZbin shows in the overview and it is just a bit more (old) school like.

That's right Ralph! The whole thumbnail thing is so iconic that one time I decided to make it my costume for Halloween! Can you believe it?!! 👕📰🎃
