Well, hello and welcome to this not a short English lesson with Bob. Don't worry, it's not bad news. I'm not quitting or anything like that. But I did want to make a different sort of video for this channel because I wanted to ask you a few questions.

I'm also not feeling very well, so I took some Advil. I feel better now. I thought I'd come outside and make a couple videos quick. It's nothing serious, by the way. I'll be fine by tomorrow.
But I wanted to ask you a few things about the lessons on this channel. Number one, do you like them? That's a pretty general question. Let me be more specific. Do you like that I teach two phrases? Do you like that I walk around for a minute or two at the end? Do you like that I respond to a comment each week? Do you like the length? Do you wish they were shorter? Do you wish they were longer? I can't promise major changes because it kind of works for me. It's a really easy video to make, an easy lesson to make for you. But I am curious. I would like to know what would you like to see different if I was to add something or remove something.
And you won't hurt my feelings In English when you hurt someone's feelings, when you say you hurt their feelings, you make them feel sad. I like being incredibly analytical about the things I make, and I'm not very emotional about it. So if you all overwhelmingly said, "Ah, we don't like it when you reply to a comment," I would maybe think about not doing that or doing it differently. Or if you said, "Two phrases is too many, just teach one and make the video three minutes instead of four." I would think about that. Or if you said, "Make the video 30 minutes long." I probably wouldn't do that. That's too long. I don't have time for that.
Part of the beauty of the lessons on this channel is that I do them in one take. They don't need to be edited. So you'll notice even if I make a mistake, I just keep going. I usually correct myself. And four minutes is about the right length, I think. I can teach a couple things, I can respond to a comment, and I can kind of walk around. So anyways, if you have ideas, let me know. If you have things that you don't like, let me know. If you have things where you think if I change something a little bit, let me know, and let me know all of this in the comments below. I'll be happy to read through them.
I do wanna apologize that I have not been replying to comments as much as I normally do, but I'll explain all of that towards the end of the month. I've been busy for a number of reasons. One of them, I'll tell you now, my mom is moving. So that's one of the reasons I've been a little extra busy with my life right now because my mom is moving. So my brothers and sisters and I, we've been spending a lot of time helping her get ready to move, so that that takes a bit of time. You should always help parents move when they decide to move. So I've been doing quite a bit of that lately.
So anyways, if you have any ideas, let me know. If there's something you don't like, let me know. If you don't like this channel at all, if you're like, "This is a waste of time, stop doing it," then maybe this isn't the channel for you. Maybe there's other things that you could watch, but I think most of you who are here are quite regular viewers. So once again, let me know what you think, and I'll get back to the regular lessons in a little while. You'll have a new one by Friday, like in a couple of days. I'll do the traditional paper one as well.
And if there's specific topics you want me to cover, if you're like, "Bob, just do phrasal verbs. Stop doing all these oth
