hometown Bedford I'm walking around by the river and today we are asking the

British public is youtubing a real job

do you think youtubing is a real job yes because I think companies are interested

in people who are like the trendsetters and young people use YouTube as one

channel of communication and we should have a full range of communication

channels and my gut instinct says no but my practical modern hat says yes okay

okay well I don't know anything about it really but you know I would never clue

anywhere so technology is beyond me like you know yeah of course it is, what a

stupid question. Well you asked it! Actually putting things on YouTube

probably not no more a hobby thing information finding research not a job as

such I wouldn't have thought no. Well I know people make money at it and have success but it's kind of

strange sometimes yeah I think it can be but like people

put a lot of time into it. I think teaching but when it's just sort of like

Instagram type thing can be quite informative with blogs like yeah travel

blogs are quite good but sometimes they're just stunts

do you consider YouTube to be a proper job hey guys hope you're enjoying the

video I'm just chilling out with a couple of swans and I thought good

opportunity to tell you a couple of things firstly you'll see loads of vocab

is popping up in this video so that you can understand these native speakers

while they're talking what I've done is put all of that vocabulary into a lovely

list of flashcards so that you can revise this vocabulary in your spare

time just click the link in the description box which says flashcards

and you'll get free access to that vocabulary second thing I want to

mention it's a sponsor of this video which is a called cambly so if you get

your your dog and bone out your mobile phone and you download this app it

allows you to connect with native English teachers instantly so if you're

a busy person you don't have time to schedule classes online or face-to-face

a crazy offer it's bonkers it's absolutely insane in a good way but

let's get back to the video do you consider YouTube

to be a proper job yes yep maybe it's a millennial thing I don't know but yeah I

think it is, you know, I think people it's just a different way of making content it's

still still a form of entertainment so you know people do all sorts of

challenges or stories and things like that that can be very helpful so all

sorts of things it's just a new sort of entertainment that people aren't used to

but yeah I'd consider it a proper job. No I don't know I'm old and wrinkly. That innovation

passed me by when I was a kid I used to work on a phone like you know so you

know your well behind the times like you know all you thought of

farm things like, you know, one year for the next like, you know. And then

when I come to England like you know was.. opened my eyes like you know what a

world different world like, you know. I YouTube when I don't know how to do

something and somebody does know how to do something and it's got a like 'this

is how you do this' like yesterday when my sky remote didn't work there was a

youtuber who showed me how to put that right I'd use whichever whatever popped

up so if it was the internet or YouTube or whatever that would be where I would

go you know I'm not an aficionado of YouTube yeah I remember coming out of a

tube station in East London like and I looked and I could see all these buses

flying about and i thought 'where the blooming hell are all these people are going then?' when I was a kid

there used to be one bus a week like you know

so that's all for today but I hope you found this video useful hope you've

learned something new let me know what new expressions you learned today down in

the comments and tell me what questions would you like me to ask Bedfordians

next time see you later
