- Read along to practice your English and to learn the English expressions I HEAR YOU and I GOT YOU
In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase I hear you. Now, this can simply mean that you can hear someone. But we also use this when we agree with what someone said and we want to let them know that we think the same way as them. So someone might say to you, hey, the boss was really mean to me the other day. You could say, I hear you, man. Yeah, he wasn't in a very good mood, was he? Or someone might say, wow, the weather around here is just not very nice. And you say, I hear you. Basically what you're saying is, I agree with what you're saying, and I think the same way I hear you. I understand you.

The second phrase I wanted to teach you today is the phrase I got you. And this is used in kind of an informal way to mean that you are helping someone. Let me give some examples. If I was walking along and I started to fall down, Jen might grab me and say, hey, I got you. Sometimes I hear students say this. One student might say to another, I got you, bro. Like, hey, I don't have a pen today. Someone might say, hey, I got you. And then they lend them a pen. So it kind of means that you're helping someone, you're supporting them in some way. And it's a little bit informal. It's kind of slang, at least the way I've been using it.
So to review, I hear you simply means that you understand what someone is saying and you agree with them. You could say, Bob, these lessons are getting a little bit boring. And I could say, I hear you. I'll try to make them a little more exciting. And the phrase I got you simply means that you are able to help someone. I don't know if I'm explaining this really well. Let me think of another example. If Jen was to say to me, oh, both vans are almost out of gas, I could say, hey, I got you. I'll run to town and fill each van up with gas today.
Anyways, let's look at a comment from a previous video. It's a little distracting out here today because it's a little bit windy. I don't know why that distracts me. I think it's the little sounds that I hear. This comment is from Konstantin. Hello, teacher. I was once a public, shy person, but at this stage, due to my occupation, I have to cope with it. Yeah, the school is finished in five weeks. Hooray. I'm so glad to see you in such a good mood. And my response, I hear you. If you pick a job like teaching, you just have to get used to being up in front of people from time to time.
Nice use of the phrase at this stage there. And to cope with, by the way. So thanks, Konstantin, for that comment. That was a good one, by the way. Yeah. Sometimes you choose a certain job, and if you pick that job, you just have to be good at being in front of people, or at least used to it. If you become a politician, if you become a teacher, if you become someone who needs to be upfront, that's what you need to do.
Hey, I'm out here in kind of the uglier part of the farm today. I wanted to show you the big pile of mushroom compost. So we use a lot of mushroom compost on the farm. This is what's left over. Oh, by the way, this is the area where all of the manure from the cows used to go when I, when my parents had cows. So if you're wondering what this big concrete area is. But anyways, yes, mushroom compost.
So when they grow mushrooms indoors here, they use a mixture of horse manure and a few other things to make, I think they call it a substrate. There's a new word for you. And they grow the mushrooms inside. And then when the mushrooms... when they've harvested the mushrooms, they get rid of the mushroom compost. So we buy it and we use it to improve our soil. So there's a little better, a lot more nutrients in the soil for our flowers to grow, to use and to grow. sorry, I'm stumbling over my words here, but yeah, that is what we use. It works really well. Instead of buying bags of fertilizer, we find that that improves our soil a lot better because it holds more water, too. It's better than just putting some chemical fertilizer on. Just works better.
Anyways, enough about mushroom compost. I hope you're having a good day. I'll see you in a few days with another short English lesson. Thanks for watching this one. Bye.

I live in Minnesota, U.S. and Thank you Bob! 👍
Yes I hear you
you are great on teaching, thank you so much
Bob i hear you in your way of teaching.
A wink fromù france
I think I hear you is only used when someone complains or has a negative situation, then try to show an understanding. if i am right?
Thanks a lot for the lesson, Bob! The farm is a great place to play hide-and-seek. I got you! Now it’s time for you to catch me!
Haha! That would be fun. I’m from Vietnam and I used to play hide and seek when I was a little boy.
@@Thucbalo678 Whether played with friends at a park or with siblings in the backyard, the thrill of hiding and seeking never gets old
@@Denis_Shakhmatov wow! It’s wonderful. I love that. Haha
@vitor00v Under the guidance of Oscar and Walter, Bob will find you everywhere 🐶🔎🐾
As a kid we played that a lot, and a game called, "Kick the Can"! 😎🌹💐
please put on more videos
What a nice day! Thanks for teaching us all about the important phrases.
You're welcome! 😎🌹💐
Hi teacher Bob! 🖐️😎
Their important influence on our lives may have become ordinary because we have gotten used to it, but it is very nice and valuable to have people who can say "I hear you" or "I got you" whenever the need arises. 🧢👠🏆
Thanks for this unique lesson! Have a great day! Bye 👋😊🌹💐♥️
It's good to affirm people! 😎🌹💐
Bob, I hear you every time you try to teach us something new online.
Awesome! 😎🌹💐
Good day, Bob! Does mushroom compost work bettrer than cow manure, I wonder? I'm gonna follow your advice as a beginner farmer))) and use it😀🤝🤝🤝❤
It's about the same, but more readily available. Most cow farms use their own manure on their fields. 😎🌹💐
@@bobsshortenglishlessonsThanks a lot♥️♥️♥️
Thanks a lot Bob for lesson!!!
You're welcome! 😎🌹💐
THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH 👍 😊 BOB THE CANADIAN!!!!!
You're welcome! 😎🌹💐
I got your lessons 💯
Awesome! 😎🌹💐
No, your lessons are never boring. You do a great job. It also would be great to hear from you other explanations of this phrase "I got you". Even if people think they're obvious, I would be thankful if you could tell more about that. Am I right with my guessing that "I got you" also means "I understand you"?
Yes, it means the same. 😎🌹💐
Nice lesson.
Glad you liked it! 😎🌹💐
Hello Bob, thank you for your video. In this context, can I say "you can say that again" instead of I hear you? Thank you. Have a good day!
Yes, it would have a similar meaning. 😎🌹💐
@@bobsshortenglishlessons Thank you :-)
Thanks! I am going to watch your live stream now.
Hope you liked it! 😎🌹💐
@@bobsshortenglishlessons I did!
Hey Bob, the dark spot at 03:05 on the left in the background of the mushroom compost is water, right? (I guess it's water because I think the green on it is duckweed if I remember the name correctly 😅.) Is this area a separate pond or is it part of the one where your pump is located? Thanks for everything Bob. Have a great day and take care. 👨🌾🚜🍀
Yeah, it's water, but not the pond. It's simply runoff from the pile when it rains. It eventually makes its way to the pod though. 😎🌹💐

Sometimes it's hard to tell where all these places are on your farm, or which ones are adjacent to which ones, Bob. Despite all your and, more recently, Jen's incredible videos. (Or maybe it's my bad sense of direction 😅.) But who knows, maybe one day I'll get a chance to take a tour of your farm. (That would be something.) Just kidding, you know what I mean 😘. Have a relaxing afternoon sir and greetings to Jen and your kids. 🌎🛫🇨🇦
I guess Americans always pronounce this phrase like "I hear ya." so far as I know. Do Canadians do this as well? Not the ugly part of your farm. The great source for learning culture and English 😉🤝🎉
Yes, we say "ya"! 😎🌹💐
Hi Bob,
With all this mushroom compost, can it be considered that the flowers and plants that Jen grows for the markets are made under the organic label?
Do you, like us in France, have a distinction in the fruits sold in grocery stores between those in organic and classic ones with chemical fertilizer?
Organic products are better for our health but unfortunately significantly more expensive on the shelves! 🍊🍍🍌🌻🌷🌺
We are not certified organic, nor are we fully organic, but we do try to grow using organic methods 90% of the time. Weed are pulled by hand! 😎🌹💐
Hello, Bob. Is it the same use of "I hear you" as "Hear, hear!" in the Parliament of Britain?
Very similar! 😎🌹💐
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thanks for watching! 😎🌹💐
Hi Bob. I have a hunch based on watching Jen's channel. If you ask her to find a new camera position, that "ugliest" place on the farm might turn into the most beautiful.😊
So true. Manure and compost are gold to a farmer! 😎🌹💐

Hi, Bob!
I'm a big fan of you.
I have a question that's not about the subject of the video. But i really would like your help with this question. It'll help me lot because i'm planning to move to Canada in a few years and beyond studying english with you here, i do a lot of research to know Canada the best that i can before moving. The subject and question: use of drugs, specifically cannabis. I discovered that in Canada, using Cannabis is not a crime. The people can buy from government stores and use it. I don't like, neither my family. And i wouldn't like to expose my kids to it.
My question is:
- how common is the use?
- People use it like the regular tabaco cigarrete, for example?
- I.e. in the streets, parks, etc?
I read about it and i know there are limits, like don't use near kids and etc. But people that use, really respect it?
Is it more common in the big cities than in small cities or in the country?
Every information about this it'll be useful.
Thanks.
I'm not sure how common the use it, but yes, it is legal. I think younger people are more likely to use it. I'm not into it at all. 😎🌹💐
@@bobsshortenglishlessons
