Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases TO FEEL AT HOME and THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME

In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase to feel at home. When you go somewhere else, somewhere that's not your home and you really enjoy it. You can describe it by saying that you feel at home. Sometimes when you go and stay at a friend's house, maybe it's just really relaxing and really enjoyable. And you can say, well, when I'm at Joe's place, I just feel at home. What you're saying basically is that you have the same calm feeling you have when you're in your own apartment or in your own house. And then there's an extension to this when you visit. Sometimes people say, make yourself at home or come on over. I hope you feel at home as you visit me. So a nice feeling when you are somewhere else, the feeling that you normally have when you're at home.

The other phrase I wanted to teach you today is there's no place like home. So this is a phrase that you sometimes say after you've been away and you're home again. I'm feeling this right now. There's no place like home. I am having a very enjoyable summer. I am just enjoying being at home. And I would describe it by using this phrase, there's no place like home.

So to review, to feel at home means to have that warm, fuzzy feeling that you have when you're at your own home, but have that feeling when you're at someone else's place. And when you say there's no place like home, you're simply saying that you really enjoy being home in your house. Usually after a trip, you walk in, you set down your suitcase and you say, ha, there's no place like home.

But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from Meng Ying Zhang. The river has flooded a little bit again. It seems that the water swells every once in a while each summer. Anyways, have a good day. And my response, it's been incredibly wet this past few weeks. I hope the rain stops soon. It's starting to feel a bit like last year.

So yeah, it is wet here. Like when I say wet, like concerning. It just keeps raining every single day. If you look here down at this puddle, you'll see that there are little raindrops hitting it right now. And honestly, I hope it stops soon. This is getting a little bit crazy. We haven't gotten as much rain as other parts of Ontario. Out where Jen's parents live. They're getting horrible amounts of rain. Fields are flooding in some areas. It's just not very good at all. So we're thankful that we're not in that kind of situation.

But if you look over here as well, you'll see that the river hasn't quite flooded. And I really hope it doesn't because I did plant a late crop way in the distance. There's a field way over there and hopefully the river doesn't jump its banks. But yeah, from the comment Meng, definitely the river is higher than it normally is this time of year and not overly concerning.

But you know, I was out in the flower field this morning putting posts in for Jen, like pounding posts into the ground. And everywhere I stepped, I would get a soaker. A soaker is when you step in a puddle and then your shoe gets filled with water. So right now I'm actually wearing my rubber boots. But I did realize that my rubber boots, my one rubber boot has a hole in it. So I'm probably going to end up getting a wet foot as I make this video as well.

But yeah, hopefully it stops raining soon. In fact, it rained so much the other day, I mowed lawn in the rain. You can see I left a whole bunch of little tufts of grass because I was mowin
