Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases THAT'S FINE WITH ME and I'M FINE WITH THAT:

In this English lesson I wanted to help you learn the English phrase, that's fine with me. This is a phrase we use when we are saying that something is okay with us. If my son was to say to me, "Dad, I wanna go out with my friends tonight. "Is that okay?" I could say, "That's fine with me." It basically means that, that's okay with me if he does that. I won't be bothered if he does that, that's fine with me. He can totally go out and see his friends tonight. Actually, he can't because there's COVID. But if this was a normal world right now, and my son wanted to go out with his friends, I could say, "Hey, that's fine with me, go ahead."

The other phrase I wanted to teach you today is the phrase, I'm fine with that, which means exactly the same thing. If you don't mind having cats run by in the background when I'm doing lessons, I'm fine with that too. It basically means that that's okay with me, it doesn't bother me, I'm fine with that. That wasn't the exact example I was going to give. I was going to use the same example as before. I could say, if my son asked if he could go hang out with his friends, I could say, "Hey, I'm fine with that, no problem." I could also say, "That's fine with me." And it would mean exactly the same thing.

So I don't know if I need to review these phrases now, but let's do it anyways. If I say to someone, "That's fine with me," it means that it doesn't bother me, it means that I'm okay if they do something, it's totally fine with me. At work, someone could say, "Do you mind if I use your chair "while you're teaching in your classroom?" I would say, "That's fine with me." If someone came to the room and said, "Can we take three desks out of your room?" I could say, "Oh, that's fine with me." Or I could say, "Yeah, I'm fine with that, no problem." So basically it just means that you're okay with something someone else is doing.

But, hey, let's look at a comment from the previous video. I actually forget who this comment's from. I put it in my pocket earlier today. This comment is from Xavier. "Roughly a month ago, I took up learning how to brew coffee. "I would never have thought that brewing good coffee "could be so hard, and sometimes I think of quitting "and just drinking bitter coffee again." So that's, Xavier's talking about from the lesson where we looked at, to take something up which means to start doing something. My response was, "I'm actually experimenting "with drinking tea instead of coffee, so far, so good." So thanks Xavier for that comment.
