Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases TO GO OFF THE RADAR and TO BE ON SOMEONE'S RADAR

In this English lesson I wanted to help you learn the English phrase, to go off the radar. When someone goes off the radar, it means they kind of disappear for a little bit. And I kind of just did that. So I do want to apologize to all of you. On my bigger channel normally there's a new English lesson every Tuesday and yesterday I didn't put a new video out. And then on this channel, there should have been a new video lesson for you a few hours ago already but there wasn't one because I kind of went off the radar. When you go off the radar, it simply means that you kind of disappear for a little bit. And I kind of disappeared for a day and I did explain on my other channel what happened and I'll explain on this channel a little bit as well. It's nothing serious by the way. But when you go off the radar, it means that a person kind of disappears for a day or two or maybe longer. So sorry, I was kind of off the radar for a bit.

The other phrase I wanted to teach you today is the phrase, to be on my radar or to be on someone's radar. This means that you are aware of someone or something. This happens a lot when you're a teacher. Another teacher might say to me, hey, watch out for Johnny, he's been acting a little suspiciously lately, keep them on your radar. I'm going to keep him on my radar as well. So you can be on someone's radar or you can keep someone on your radar or you can keep something on your radar. That just simply means that you are aware of it and you are watching carefully just in case something happens. So what is radar? Well, radar is something they use in the military and it kind of helps them see things from far away.

So to review, if you say that someone has gone off the radar or the phrase to go off the radar it means to disappear for a little bit without telling people where you're going. And then when someone is on your radar or if you say that someone is you're going to keep someone on your radar, it means you're going to kind of keep an eye out for them.

But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video and this comment will lead into the rest of this lesson. Natalia Illusion says, does anyone know where Bob is? And Julia Olis says, same question. And my reply was I'm right here, sorry to go off the radar for a day. Just getting back on track now.

So yes, I do want to apologize to all of you. It wasn't very nice of me to just kind of skip a day without mentioning where I was. There's no problem with me not making a video for a day but I know a lot of you just, well, you kind of liked me and I like you too so it's not nice to disappear for a day without at least putting a message on my community page or on Facebook letting you know what was up. So what was up? I explained this in my other video on my bigger channel. I just felt blah, is that a good description? I felt blah, I felt under the weather. I said to Jen, I felt kind of meh. That's not a real English phrase by the way but I didn't feel energetic and I thought maybe even that I was getting sick.
