Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases SCARRED FOR LIFE and THAT'S GOING TO LEAVE A MARK / SCAR!In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase scarred for life. Now, this is a more serious phrase, and we use it to talk about when something traumatic happens to someone and it's something that they will remember for the rest of their life. I guess the best example would be this. When I was a kid, we were sitting, waiting for a lift, bridge to come down, and a, person hit us from behind. And in some ways, in a very small way, I was scarred for life. I'm always afraid when I'm stopped somewhere now that someone's going to hit our car from behind. Luckily, when I was a kid, when that happened, no one was hurt. We had a really big car. The people who hit us, though, were injured quite badly. And I do remember I was probably 9 or 10 years old seeing the ambulance come to take those people out. So in a small way, I mean, other people have far more serious things happen to them. But in a small way, I was scarred for life.I don't teach serious phrases very often. But I think it's important.WANT FREE ENGLISH LESSONS? GO TO YOUTUBE AND SEARCH, "BOB THE CANADIAN"If you enjoy these lessons please consider supporting me at: http://www.patreon.com/bobthecanadianThe second phrase I wanted to teach you is that's going to leave a scar or that's going to leave a mark. This phrase is sometimes used in a humorous way. Here's an example. Let's say you're watching a soccer game or a football game. Someone kicks the ball and it hits another player in the face. You might react by going, ooh, that's going to leave a scar, or, oh, that's going to leave a mark. Basically what you're saying is, there's probably going to be a bruise or something after that happens. You can also use this figuratively when something happens to someone that isn't an actual action. Maybe at work you get fired and you can say, you know, that's going to leave a mark. That's going to, going to leave a mark for that guy or for you. Because, yeah, losing your job is not fun.To review when you are scarred for life. It means something traumatic happened when you were younger and you still at times think about that in a negative way. You have negative emotions, and then that's going to leave a scar or that's going to leave a mark simply means that something physical has happened or something, you know, an action has just occurred that will, you'll remember it for a long time.Let's, let's look at a comment from a previous video. I'm not in the right mood to teach serious phrases. It's a tough thing to do, you know, I want to do an English lesson about death at some point, but I don't know how to do it well. So I just never do it. But maybe someday. This is from Zerevan. That old car needs a lot of gas. It's tough to have an old car. And my response, for sure, I'm surprised how much better on gas our new car is, although I am comparing it to my minivans, which are older and bigger, so maybe not a fair comparison. Thanks, Zerevan, for that comment.But, yeah, yeah, there was a car, in a video the other day a couple days ago. Whoa. That was a fast turn, Bob. And it was huge. It was enormous. What surprised me is many of you commented about the car, which was cool, but no one commented about the huge family of kids that walked by. At the beginning, I didn't realize they were behind me. I was in the zone when I was making that English lesson. And then when I sat down to edit it, I was like, how many kids are in that family? There was, like, one kid, two, three kids, four kids, five kids. It was a big family. So I'm glad my camera blurs people in the background out a bit, because I don't want to inadvertently put people in Support the show

"I think I grew up more sheltered. I didn't have the typical New York upbringing." - Annie Vo This episode was special in so many ways — not just because it marked six years of A Vietnam Podcast, but because of Annie's story. Her journey from Saigon to Yale, and then full circle back to Vietnam, embodies what this podcast is all about: identity, resilience, and connection.Hearing how Annie navigated culture shock, built a successful career, and now helps others feel seen and supported — that hit home. Her warmth and authenticity reminded me why I started this podcast. These are the conversations that matter. They're real, honest, and grounded in experience. I feel lucky to have shared the mic with her on such a meaningful day.Key Takeaways:- Gossip Girl was based on her high school- Learning English as a child immigrant- Reverse culture shock moving back to Vietnam- What was supposed to be a short stay became 8 years- Her children are growing up bilingual and connected  Chapters and Time-stamps:03:00 - Annie's Background & Career Overview04:00 - Gossip Girl & High School Life in NYC07:00 - Immigrating to the U.S. at Age 513:00 - Learning English & Adjusting to American Life20:00 - Returning to Vietnam & Reverse Culture Shock28:00 - Why She Stayed in Vietnam30:00 - Building a Life and Business in Saigon33:00 - Family, Legacy, and Raising Kids Bilingually"Send me a message!"This Season is sponsored by Premier Dental.Discover the potential of a confident and healthy smile with the excellent dental clinic in Ho Chi Minh Support the show

Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases TO PUT A DAMPER ON SOMETHING and A WET BLANKETIn this English lesson, I wanted to teach you the English phrase to put a damper on something. When you put a damper on something, it means that you make it not fun. Or something can also put a damper on something else. Right now, the weather is putting a damper on Jen's ability to plant things. It's been raining for two days, and that has, certainly put a damper on progress on the farm. This can happen at work, too. Maybe your boss, decides that everybody has to work on Saturday, and that really puts a damper on your weekend plans.WANT FREE ENGLISH LESSONS? GO TO YOUTUBE AND SEARCH, "BOB THE CANADIAN"If you enjoy these lessons please consider supporting me at: http://www.patreon.com/bobthecanadianThe other phrase I wanted to teach you today is a wet blanket. A wet blanket is a term we use to describe someone who makes something no fun. If your boss makes you work Saturday and that puts a damper on your weekend, we might say your boss is a wet blanket. A person who makes something, not fun. So they are someone who steals the joy from something. You might know someone who, if you invite them to a party, they're a wet blanket. And they don't add any fun or joy to the party. They just complain all the time.So, to review, to put a damper on something means to make something not fun, in the way that, you know, something or someone makes it not fun. And then a wet blanket would be a term used to describe someone who puts a damper on things. They're kind of related, aren't they?But, hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from Sibelk. Thanks a lot. And your farm looks so peaceful. And my response, it is nice, but a bit rainy and cold the last few days. That's really putting a damper on things. Thanks, Sibelk, for that comment. And that was me using, the phrase in the comment. So I hope you enjoyed that. You do know that's where my phrases come from, right? I interact with people in the world and then I use what they say, to create English lessons for you.So what was I going to show you today? Well, we're walking out here in the rain. There are puddles along the driveway. I put these little French drains in. I think I showed you this last year. And they're kind of working to keep the puddles away. But I feel like I need to add, another one here. I took the shovel out this morning and I dug one temporarily. But you can see as it rains, the water is all flowing this way and creating these puddles, which, I don't enjoy having. I like it when, the driveway stays dry. I don't mind rain. I don't mind water. But I do really like it when the driveway stays dry.And then. Yes, this is putting a damper on things. Jen would love to be planting flowers and even harvesting some flowers. But in order for flowers to grow and bloom, you need sunlight and you also need warmth. Like, it has to be a somewhat warm day. Here you can see some water again, just trickling. I was going to show you that I wore mismatched shoes this morning. I just put my running shoes on because, I don't know why I should have put normal shoes on. I'm kind of on my way to work, so I do have to go back in the house and change my shoes, before I head out.So, Jen just said we're in a rainfall warning. We already got an inch of rain today and, since yesterday. And, yeah, hopefully it stops soon. I don't have crops out in my big field yet. My neighbor did come and work up the field, but, we're going to have to wait on that as well, for a week or more until everything dries up. So there you go. The trees love it. The grass loves it.

Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases TO PUT TOGETHER and TO PULL YOURSELF TOGETHERIn this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase to put together. When you put something together, it means there are pieces. And then you attach all the pieces together with glue or screws or nails or something like that.If you're wondering what the noise is, Jen's driving by in her gator, which kind of cracks me up because one of the last comments was that there was too much noise when I make these videos in town and some, someone wanted me to do them on the peaceful farm. And I thought I should do that. But, then there was still some traffic, wasn't there?WANT FREE ENGLISH LESSONS? GO TO YOUTUBE AND SEARCH, "BOB THE CANADIAN"If you enjoy these lessons please consider supporting me at: http://www.patreon.com/bobthecanadianAnyways, when you go to Ikea and you buy a bed, it comes in a box and then you need to put it together. When you get home, you need to use the tools and the screws that they give you. Or maybe you need to get your own screwdriver and you take all the pieces. And when you're done, after you put the bed together, you have a, bed. So when you put something together, it's in pieces and then when it's done, it's whole.The other phrase I wanted to teach you today is to pull yourself together. I might have taught this one before. All of a sudden I just thought, maybe I have, but I'll teach it again. Anyways, if you are emotional, if you are sad or upset or crying, you might need to pull yourself together. Let's say you're at a wedding and it's beautiful and maybe someone you know is getting married and you're, you're just crying a little bit, but they're tears of joy. And then you have to go up and give a speech. You need to pull yourself together before you go up and give the speech. You need to get control of your emotions. You need to calm down.So to review, to put together, to put something together means, oh, here's another good example. If you ever played with Lego, you get a Lego set. And then you need to put together all the pieces to build what you are building. And to pull yourself together simply means to calm yourself down when you're in an emotional state. When you're in a heightened emotional state. But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from ksenom. I never get up on the wrong side of the bed. There's a concrete wall. What's the difference between make the bed and assemble the bed? Dandelions grow here in Finland too. However, this spring, the night temperatures have been unusually low, so the flowers haven't appeared. Yet. And my response, when you buy a bed from a store, you assemble it. You do this once, you put it together. When you make the bed, you tidy up the blankets.So thanks ksenom. for that comment. And hopefully you understood the difference. When you use the verb to make the bed, it's to put all the blankets flat. But if you were to get wood and cut the wood and like, not assemble it, like you are literally going to build it, we could use the verb make as well. But generally, 99% of the time when you make the bed, it means you're putting the blankets on nicely.Today I wanted to talk about shade. The shade has returned on my farm, on my property. One of the problems with making videos in town is that you don't get to see all of the changes here on the farm property. So you can see that hopefully I'm not rotating you too quickly. You can see that shade has returned. I'm standing in the shade of this tree and it is beautiful. And hopefully, cross my fingers, the weather is beautiful on the first Saturday of June. And I can sit here. You'll recognize the view in a moment. I can sit here and do my lSupport the show
