Hello and welcome back to Real English

0:02

with

0:03

real teachers.

0:09

Today I'm in my hometown Bedford. I'm

0:11

walking around by the river and today we

0:14

are asking the British public is YouTube

0:16

in a real job?

0:26

[Music]

0:32

[Music]

0:47

Do you think YouTube in is a real job?

0:50

Yes, because I think companies are

0:53

interested in people who are like the

0:55

trend setters and young people use

0:58

YouTube as

1:01

one channel of communication.

1:04

Um and we should have a full range of

1:06

communication channels. Um my gut

1:09

instinct says no, but my practical

1:11

modern hat says yes.

1:13

Okay. Okay.

1:14

Okay. All right. Thank you so much.

1:16

Lovely. Well, I don't know anything

1:18

about it really, but like you know, I

1:19

wouldn't have a clue anyway, so

1:22

technology is beyond me like you know.

1:26

Sort of.

1:27

Yeah, of course it is. What a stupid

1:29

question. Well, you asked it.

1:31

Actually putting things on YouTube

1:34

um

1:35

probably not.

1:37

No.

1:38

Um more hobby thing um information

1:41

finding

1:43

research.

1:44

Not a job as such. I wouldn't have

1:46

thought.

1:48

Well, I know people make money at it and

1:50

have success, but

1:52

it's kind of strange sometimes. Yeah, I

1:55

think it can be. But um like people put

1:59

a lot of time into it. I I think

2:01

teaching, but when it's just um

2:04

sort of like Instagram type thing. Can

2:07

be quite informative with blogs like

2:09

travel blogs are quite good.

2:11

they're just stunts. Do you consider

2:13

YouTube to be a proper job? Hey guys,

2:16

hope you're enjoying the video. I'm just

2:18

chilling out with a couple of swans and

2:21

I thought good opportunity to tell you a

2:23

couple of things. Firstly, you'll see

2:25

loads of vocab is popping up in this

2:27

video so that you can understand these

2:29

native speakers while they're talking.

2:31

What I've done is put all of that

2:32

vocabulary into a lovely list of flash

2:35

cards so that you can revise this

2:37

vocabulary in your spare time. Just

2:39

click the link in the description box

2:41

which says flash cards and you'll get

2:43

free access to that vocabulary. Second

2:45

thing I want to mention is the sponsor

2:47

of this video which is an app called

2:49

Cambly. So if you get your your dog and

2:51

2:53

2:55

3:43

offer. It's bonkers. It's absolutely

3:46

insane in a good way. But let's get back

3:49

to the video. Do you consider YouTube to

3:51

be a proper job? Yes. Do you? Yeah. And

3:54

what why so? Uh maybe it's a millennial

3:57

thing, I don't know, but uh yeah, I

3:58

think it is, you know, I think people um

4:00

it's just a different way of making

4:02

content. It's still still a form of

4:03

entertainment.

4:05

Um so you know, people do all sorts of

4:07

challenges or and stories and things

4:08

like that so it can be very helpful. So

4:10

all sorts of things. It's a it's just a

4:11

new sort of entertainment that people

4:13

aren't used to, but yeah, I still

4:14

consider it a proper job, yeah. Do you

4:15

consume YouTube content?

4:16

No, I don't. No, I'm I'm old and

4:18

wrinkly.

4:22

That

4:23

that innovation passed me by. Okay. Cuz

4:26

I won't when I was a kid

4:28

I used to work on a farm like you know,

4:30

so

4:31

you know, you're way well behind the

4:33

times like you know, all you thought of

4:35

farm things like you know, one year for

4:37

the next like you know.

4:39

And then when I come to England like you

4:40

know, it was a

4:42

opened my eyes like you know what a

4:44

world different world like you know.

4:46

Yeah. I YouTube when I don't know how to

4:48

do something and somebody does know how

4:50

to do something and it's got a like this

4:53

is how you do this. Like yesterday when

4:56

my Sky remote didn't work.

4:58

There was a YouTuber who

5:00

Really?

5:01

showed me how to put that right.

5:02

Amazing. Amazing. So you just searched

5:04

how do you fix a Sky

5:05

Yeah, exactly. And I'd I'd use whichever

5:09

whatever popped up. So if it was the

5:11

internet or YouTube or whatever, that

5:13

would be where I would go. Amazing.

5:15

I'm not an official aficionado of

5:18

YouTube.

5:18

Yeah, yeah. Uh I remember coming out of

5:21

a

5:22

uh tube station

5:24

in East London like you know, I looked

5:26

around I could see all these buses

5:27

flying about.

5:29

And I thought where did they all come

5:30

out of? Where are all these people

5:31

going? When when I was a kid, there used

5:33

to be one bus a week like you know.

5:42

[Music]

5:48

So that's all for today, but I hope you

5:50

found this video useful. I hope you

5:51

learned something new. Let me know what

5:54

new expression you learned today down in

5:55

the comments.

5:57

And tell me what questions would you

5:58

like me to ask Bedfordians next time.
