Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases HARD TO FOLLOW and TO FOLLOW IN SOMEONE'S FOOTSTEPS

In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase "hard to follow." Hard to follow simply means that something is hard to understand or it's hard to keep track of what's happening when you're watching something or reading something or when someone is talking to you. Hopefully, when you watch my videos, they're not hard to follow. Hopefully, they are easy to understand. I know sometimes when you watch an English movie or English TV show, it might be hard to follow. You might have to pause and rewind and maybe turn the subtitles on every once in a while, because sometimes people just speak too quickly and it's hard to follow.

The other phrase I wanted to teach you today is "to follow in someone's footsteps." When you follow in someone's footsteps, it means you do the same thing as they do. Usually this is between generations, like when children do the same job as their mom or dad, we say that they are following in their footsteps. Often, this happens on farms. Often, farms are taken over by the next generation. Sometimes the son or daughter of a farmer will follow in their parents' footsteps and they will do the same thing as their parents. They will also become farmers.

So to review, not sure I explained this one good enough, but when something is hard to follow, it's simply hard to understand. Again, I really hope my videos aren't too hard to follow. I hope they are easy for you to understand. And when you follow in someone's footsteps, it usually means that you do the same thing as an older family member. Sometimes grandkids will follow in the footsteps of their grandparents. Maybe their grandfather was a mechanic and one of the grandkids has decided to become a mechanic as well. We would say that they are going to follow in their grandfather's footsteps.

But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from, I think, Yellow DQ 1989. And the comment is this. "You just need a Clarkson's Lamborghini tractor." And my response was, "That would be amazing. I love that show. So fun to watch."

So what Yellow is talking about is a show on Amazon Prime called "Clarkson's Farm." "Clarkson's Farm" stars Jeremy Clarkson. He was a presenter on "Top Gear" and "The Grand Tour," an automotive show, for a very long time. I think he still does "The Grand Tour" but he also has a little show now called "Clarkson's Farm" where he farms in England and he has a tractor that's made by Lamborghini. A very cool tractor. I'm assuming it's made by some of my Italian friends in Italy. And he is just learning how to be a farmer on his big farm. Maybe I should have a Lamborghini tractor.

I'm not sure if you can see my tractor down there. My big tractor is also broken. I have two broken tractors right now. My small tractor and my big one. So hopefully the repairman comes to fix my big tractor. It's down there in the field. It's really little. Maybe I'll try to zoom in on it when I edit this video. Hopefully the repair person, hopefully the tractor mechanic comes today and he's able to fix that one. The tire on my other tractor is still not repaired. I have to go get that later today. Hopefully, within a couple of days, both my tractors are working again, but it's not a rush.
