How To Describe Someone Who Is Bad At So...

BOB THE CANADIAN
About this episode

Welcome to this second English lesson in a series where I'll talk about how to describe people in different ways.  In this English class I'll help you learn how to describe someone who is bad at something.

There were 8 phrases that I could think of as I was creating this lesson. All of these are used to describe someone who is bad at something, and all of them are very common in everyday English.

In this English lesson you'll learn phrases like: to be bad at, to be no good at (and variations of it), to be terrible, to be horrible, to be useless when it comes to, and more!

I hope you enjoy this English lesson about how to describe people who are bat at things! Have a great day!

Note: This is the audio portion of a Youtube English lesson which you can watch right  here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2IO7EpWSCY or find by searching Youtube for, "Bob the Canadian Bad At"
