  • If you are learning English it is always a good idea to learn how to talk about your childhood. Maybe you want to be able to talk about your childhood in a casual English conversation, or maybe you know it will be part of an upcoming English test like the IELTS or TOEFL.
    Either way, being able to talk about your past as an English learner is a great skill. In this English lesson I'll go over some really common phrases that we use to talk about our time as children. You'll learn English phrases like, "I was born and raised...", "As I child I was always..." and many more.
    Along the way I'll try to keep the lesson interesting by showing you pictures of myself as a child! I had a great childhood growing up on the farm where I still live. In these photos you'll see me as a kid in my natural habitat! I was born and raised on a farm!
    I hope you enjoy this English lesson where I help you learn to talk about your childhood in English!
    In this lesson you'll learn how to..
    ..describe your childhood in English.
    ..describe your childhood for an IELTS test.
    ..describe your childhood for a TOEFL test.
    ⌛ Remember: Always watch the video three times. Twice today with English subtitles on, and once tomorrow with the English subtitles off. This will reinforce the English you have learned!

    Hi Bob, I was born and raised in The Netherlands, As a kid, I was always outside. I spent my childhood in my grandparents' garden which was full of great happiness. I used to call my friends to play together in that garden. We would be overjoyed on those days. I used to dream of being an English teacher:) I was taught to respect the elder people, be tactful, and not to tell a lie. My grandmother was like our babysitter. She always looked after my siblings and me. she tried to do her best. I should thank her for her considerable efforts. There was a close and strong bond between my grandma and me. Therefore, I used to want to stay in my grandma's house but my father didn't use to allow me to stay there. He made me stay in our own house. In addditıon to this, I would be a real animal lover:) I used to adopt street animals consistently. because of this, I used to argue with my family members. As I remember, the best things of my childhood were my grandmother, mother, my cats, my friends and the games which we used to play with my friends:)
    Thank you so much Bob for your beneficial videos which provide English learners with an excellent chance to İmprove their skills:)

    Great trip down to the memory lane, Bob. Fom time to time I also like to look through my childhood pictures, it brings back so many great memories. One thing I can relate to your story is that I used to wear hand-me-down clothes from my big brother. It was great anyway, as a kid I always had so much and would spend so much time with my friends playing around, playing soccer, video games and hide-and-sick. It was back in the 90's so I can say I had a pretty healthy and joyful childhood.
