Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases I CAN'T BE BOTHERED and IT'S NOT A BOTHER

In this English lesson I wanted to help you learn the English phrase I can't be bothered. This is a phrase that we use when we don't feel like doing something, we don't want to do something, or we don't think something is important. Here are a couple of examples. I exercise because I think it's important. If I didn't, I might say, you know what? I can't be bothered. I can't be bothered to exercise. It just seems like a waste of time to me. Another good example applies to me right now. I don't wash my car. I don't wash my van right now. I can't be bothered because it rains every day so there's no reason to do it. So in English, when you can't be bothered to do something, it means you don't feel like doing something or you don't see why it would be important to do that.

The second phrase I wanted to teach you today is it's not a bother. We use this phrase the same way we use the phrase it's not a problem. So if someone said to me, Bob, thank you so much for making these videos. I can say, ah, hey, it's not a bother at all. It's not a problem at all, I have lots of time to do this kind of stuff. It's not a bother. So in English, when you reply to someone by saying it's not a bother, it can sometimes be after they thank you for doing something. Like if someone said, hey, thanks for making that beautiful meal for us the other night. You can say, oh, it was no bother. Or it's not a bother, I had lots of time and I like cooking for people.

So to review, when you say I can't be bothered, it simply means you don't feel like doing something or you don't want to do something because you don't think it's important. And when you say it's not a bother, it's very similar to saying, ah, it was no problem or it's no problem. But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from Michael. And Michael says, "Bob's pronunciation is very nice. Can anyone tell me if he has a Canadian accent or an American accent?" And I thought I'll answer this one. And my response was I have a Canadian accent. It is very similar to an American accent. Well, at least it sounds a lot more American than British or Australian English.

So yes, I very much have a Canadian accent. As I've mentioned before, Canadian accents are very similar to American accents. I do say words like sorry and about a little differently than my American cousins, but certainly my accent is a lot more American than British. It definitely sounds a lot more American. I think it's because we live so close to the United States and I think I watch a lot of American television, as most Canadians do, so our accents are very similar.

Hey, I wanted to talk a little bit today about going back to school. It's crazy, by the way, if you are going to watch my live stream on my other channel later, or if you're gonna watch it later today, it's about school. It's the middle of summer, but something funny happens to me in the middle of the summer. When the month of June ends, I start to think about school. When the month of June ends, I know I still have another whole month of summer vacation, but I start to think about school. I start to check my school email a little bit more, I start to think about the classes that I'm going to be teaching.
