I've bean thinking a lot about the lust, a couple of videos that I've made, and I just really, really I'm just so sorry that I've never thought you guys had to apologize. So here's my apology video. Do you need to learn how to apologize to someone? Let's do it. First of all, you need to figure out what are you apologizing for now? What does this mean? Mm. There's about three different reasons why you need to apologize. One. You did something wrong. Okay? Or you do something bad. Let's say that you see a kangaroo on the street and you just take out your gun and shoot it. That's bad. Okay. No matter how arrogant the kangaroo might seem to you, you just cannot kill them as much as you want to. So what you're gonna do is you're going to admit that you were wrong. Are you going to admit that you did something bad and you're going to say I am so, so sorry that I killed your kangaroo? Now, the trick about English is the more words that you say the more formal or serious. You seem so you can even their win another. So here, if you'd like, you could say I am so, so, so sorry. Helps if you close your eyes a lot. Fake tears are always a good option that I killed your kangaroo. You kangaroo is annoying, but don't say that. Just ending and go off stage. Go. Just That's all you need because you don't want to get into more trouble. Next one. You made him steak, so this could be a work. Right? Okay, So you're You're working. You're doing your best job. You're hungover. But you just made a mistake. And that's normal. That's natural. Why? Because we're humans. But maybe your boss or your co workers angry. So to smooth things over, which means make things good again. You're gonna apologize because you made a mistake and you're gonna say Wow. Oh, that was stupid of me. I'm sorry that I sent the wrong file to my boss. Okay, I just got confused. Blamed some caffeine. Blame it on the coronavirus because of the coronavirus is the greatest excuse right now. Blame it on everything, but make sure you tell them what you're sorry for and apologize. I'm sorry that I sent the wrong file. Please accept my apology. Now there's the thing about accepting an apology. People will say You need to say you're sorry. So you go. Well, I'm sorry. And the people know it's not good enough. What do you mean, it's not good enough? I just apologized. So it's better not to ask them if they accept your apology just straight up, apologize and then carry on stage again one more time. Now, this one, it's a very special one. Mhm. Somebody else is upset. Maybe you said something. Or maybe you did something that the other person didn't like. We use this a lot in our relationship, and I'm getting a feeling it has a lot to do with men. Okay, I have a feeling that women get upset about things because we're very emotional people. Most of us, and you know your boyfriend or your husband or your partner. Somebody else does something that upsets you. So you tell them I'm upset. I want an apology, and that's normal. I do that, um, or you say something that you believe to be true, But other people don't think so. And then they get mad. Okay, so you can very easily say to the people, I'm sorry that you feel that way, but it's not my intention. So you're not really apologizing for something you did? Because, honestly, you don't think you did anything wrong And the other person says, Oh, yeah, he apologized to me. This actually has a cool meaning to It's called a backhanded apology. So that means that you are apologizing, but not really apologizing. But we're not gonna go into that. I'm sorry. Works very well. Um, but make sure you know exactly what the person's angry at because you could get into more trouble. Now, the last one is we use this so much in Canada is so crazy just to be polite. Um, I've talked about this before. I'm going to the supermarket. I have my cart, remember, and somebody walks in front of me. They say I'm sorry. Meanwhile, I kind of walked in front of them. So we say Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry to be polite to people. Um, if I'm walking behind someone and they don't hold the door open for me, which happens, actually, people say Oh, I'm sorry. I say, Oh, that's cool. I'll get the door myself. That's fine. Eso We use this a lot to be polite. We don't really mean. Oh, my God. I'm so story. I didn't know the door. We're just saying, like, excuse me, it's more. Excuse me, Another way that we say this is my bad things is very common slang expression. My bad. And I was like, Well, that's an apology. Now, that's cool. So, yeah, my apology video is make sure that you know what you're apologizing for. And don't apologize for things that you're not really sorry for. Well, maybe if it's in a relationship, you got to do that. Okay, So good luck out there. I hope everyone has a fantastic time and sorry.
