An English Lesson About Being Busy

BOB THE CANADIAN
About this episode

In this English lesson I'll help you learn some common English phrases that we use when talking about being busy. These aren't just different ways to say you are busy.  They are the phrases you would use to talk about getting things done when you're busy. They are phrases that will help you have great English conversations while explaining to someone how busy you are.

In this free English lesson you'll learn phrases like: baby steps, every little bit counts, one step at a time, one day at a time, and many more!

I hope this video helps you learn a few more English phrases that you can use in your next conversation, email, or text message!

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=ZezKAAY1aiM or by searching Youtube for, "Bob the Canadian Busy"
