Past simple

I hope you had a good New Year's Eve, and
I hope that the new year treats you well.

I just wanted to start this video by thanking
all of you for watching my Youtube videos.

I know they help you learn English, but their
also a lot of fun for me to make, and I started

Two years ago I had 0 subscribers, and as
of today I have close to 18,000 subscribers.

I wanted to talk to you a little bit today
about two things.

I wanted to talk about what a New Year's
Resolution is and then I wanted to tell you

about my New Year's Resolution when it comes
to teaching English on this Youtube channel,

and I wanted to give you some suggestions
for New Year's Resolutions that you could

So let's get 2019 started off with some,
some good planning for the future.

A New Year's Resolution is when you decide
to kind of make a promise to yourself to do

So a New Year's Resolution can be something
like deciding that you're going to eat better.

A New Year's Resolution could be deciding
that you're going to lose weight.

There's a number of different kinds of New
Year's Resolutions.

My New Year's Resolution, personally, the
New Year's Resolution for myself is: I'd

really like to make sure, because I had heart
surgery way back in May, I want to make sure

that I walk everyday for exercise, and I want
to make sure that I eat healthy food.

It's really important to me, I'm 48 years
old, it's really important to me that I

stay healthy for a very long time because
I want to be healthy for my wife and kids,

also for myself, but I want to make sure that
I'm around a long time for my wife and kids.

My second New Year's Resolution actually
has to do with you guys - all of you that

My New Year's Resolution is pretty simple.

I'm going to make a video, every Tuesday
there will be a new video, and I really hope

to keep doing the Friday morning live streams.

So new video every Tuesday, new live stream
every Friday.

The other thing is, you might not be aware
of this, but I have a second Youtube channel.

So I have a Youtube channel where do really
short videos, less than a minute, and I do

them every morning, or at least 5 or 6 times
a week.

And it's called, “Really Short English
Lessons”.

I'll put a link down in the description
and I'll put a link up here as well.

So my New Year's Resolution is to make sure
that over the next year I make 365 little

And those are great little lessons, you should
check it out.

You will have to subscribe over there cause
it is a different channel, and I know a few

I think it just keeps things tidier for me.

Short little videos on the other channel.

I said I had some ideas for you, some ideas
for you for New Year's Resolutions - promises

you can make to yourself about learning English
for the coming year.

I know it might cost some money, but I think
you should get a French-English dictionary,

a Chinese-English dictionary, whatever your
language is I challenge you to get a dictionary

for that language and then what I would suggest
you do is, you, one page a day you pick out

5 words and you highlight those words or you
underline those words and you learn them.

I know, but I think that would be one really
really great idea.

The second New Year's Resolution that I
would challenge you to try is: Find a Youtube

channel, you can keep watching my videos,
but find a Youtube channel where the person

is teaching English for the country that you
are currently in, or that you might move to.

So what I mean by that is, if you are thinking
of moving to Australia, you should also be

watching Youtube videos that are made by someone
from Australia.

If you are thinking of moving to Britain or
the U.K. you should watch some Youtube videos

that are made by someone who has the British
accent.

And if you're thinking of moving to America,
I would suggest you watch some videos made

For number 3 I just suggest that you try to
read some books in English.

Maybe try to read one book a month, that might
be a lot!

Maybe try to read three books in the whole
year, but it's just so important when you're

Reading is one of the best ways to learn new
words and new vocabularies, so, vocabulary!

But, yeah, see if you can find a book, it
can be a novel.

Even if that means instead of reading a book
you just decide that you're going to read

And then the last thing, number 4, this is
the last one.

I challenge you as a New Year's Resolution,
to find an English television show that you

can watch, that you find an English television
show that's interesting to you.

Maybe it's a crime drama, maybe it's a
science fiction television show, but find

an English television show that you can watch
and then watch it twice during the year.

Try to watch all ten episodes and then try
to watch them all again.

I'm so happy that you guys joined me in
2018, and I look forward to making lots of

I hope you just have a great year yourself.

I think it's going to be kind of exciting.

It's kind of fun as I'm shooting this
video the sun is slowly coming through the

I'll point up and we'll see if you can
see what I'm talking about.
