Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases STUCK IN YOUR WAYS and TO BE STUCK ON SOMETHING

In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase stuck in your ways. When you're stuck in your ways, it means you do certain things a certain way, and you will not change the way you do it. You are stuck in your ways. I'm stuck in my ways for some things. Like, for instance, many people have suggested that I stop using a piece of paper, that I should get an iPad or something else that I bring outside. But I'm kind of stuck in my ways. I like bringing the piece of paper outside. I do recycle all of these, but for me, it's just, it's a little simpler to use paper sometimes. So I'm a little stuck in my ways.

The other phrase I wanted to teach you today is to be stuck on something. So this is when you don't understand something. If you remember when you were in school, or maybe you are in school, and if you're doing math sometimes, you might be stuck on a problem. You don't understand what to do next. As you learn English, there may be times where you're stuck on something. You just don't understand how to create a certain phrase. So when you're stuck on something, it means you don't know or understand what to do next.

So to review, when you're stuck in your ways, by the way, usually older people are stuck in their ways. I say that as if I'm not old. I'm not really old. I'm middle aged. But when you're stuck in your ways, you like doing something a certain way and you don't want to change it. And then when you're stuck on something, it simply means that you don't understand it.

But, hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from Ruslan. Teacher Bob is really a jack of all trades. He can teach, he can build, he knows computers, and his most valuable skill is he can do any sound effect in the world. And my response? Well, mostly I'm just good at watching YouTube videos to learn new things. So thanks for the compliment and the comment there, Ruslan.

I'm not, I don't know. I wouldn't consider myself that good at that many things. But I think one of my best skills is that I like to try new things. I like to learn new things. And YouTube is, like, the greatest thing in the world for that. So I would attribute a lot of the things I've done to the fact that if I want to learn how to do something, I just sit down at my computer or pull out my phone, do a little search on YouTube, and I find a whole bunch of videos. And then usually I watch two or three to get a sense of which person actually knows what they're talking about and which person isn't.

So yes, even though I said I'm a little bit stuck in my ways, I do like to learn new things. And whenever I'm stuck, whenever I don't understand something, I find a YouTube video to watch and it explains it to me. So, like laying those pavers by my house or even how to properly prune a tree or any of those kinds of things, I don't know what I would do anymore without YouTube. It's just amazing. So I know I'm a youtuber and there are probably, there are probably other ways to learn new things.

When I was a kid, I did like books. Books, I think were amazing as well. But in this day and age, sometimes it's just easier to watch a quick video than to go to the library and try to find a book. So anytime I do something new, like the other day, I was using a chainsaw.

Oh, actually, I can show you. The other day I was using a chainsaw. And before I started using the chainsaw, I watched a little video to refresh my memory on how to use it. Yeah, I c
