Easy English expression rehashed.
Hello everybody, my name is Coach Shane and welcome to Easy English Expressions.
Come on, let's master English.
Hello, everybody.
Coach Shane here.
We got a fantastic expression.
Sometimes you hear something in your language, but you don't understand.
Somebody's explaining something to you, and you just don't understand.
Somebody's telling you a story and you don't understand.
Somebody's explaining some science and you don't understand.
Somebody's explaining some English and you don't understand.
This is the expression you can use.
And it's my job to always help you understand.

Enjoy E-Cube number 311.
Let's go back in.
For many of you, it is Christmas 2014.
Merry Christmas.
If you're celebrating Christmas.
If you're not, happy Thursday.
Now, today's expression is really excellent.
It is, it's all Greek to me.
It's all Greek to me.
It is all Greek to me.
G-R-E-E-K, big G, capital G-R-E-E-K, like Greece, the adjective Greek, the country in Europe, Greece.
It's all Greek to me.
In this case, A-L-L, all means completely.
It is completely Greek to me.
Whatever you're talking about is completely Greek.
What this means is I understand zero.
I 100% do not understand you.
You might as well be speaking another language.
For example, Greek.
Now it's interesting, perhaps your country?
You have a similar expression, but you use a different language.
It's all Chinese to me, it's all Arabic to me, it's all Egyptian hieroglyphics to me.
There are many many many, many difficult languages around the world.
I'm curious.
What do you say in your country?
So if somebody is explaining something, for example, math.
Oh, gosh.
If somebody starts talking about something complicated in math blah blah blah blah blah, blah blah.
I don't understand.
Even with these days, my website, letsmasterenglish.com, is not working.
Why?
I don't know.
It's all Greek to me.
I don't understand why it's not working.
We're trying to fix it, but for me, it's all Greek to me.
I don't understand how it works.
Let's check out a dialogue.
Can you help me with my math?
Oh, son, it's all Greek to me.
No, Dad, it's math.
Numbers.
Okay.
I mean, it doesn't make any sense to me.
I don't understand it.
Ask your uncle.
Yeah, in America, some children might not understand the expression, Dad, math is not Greek.
It's math.
It's numbers, not Greek, the language.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
It's a great expression.
What are subjects that just don't make any sense to you?
What subjects do you not understand?
For me once again, geometry, trigonometry, calculus.
Oh man, it's all Greek to me.
Algebra was okay.
Regular math, of course, that's no problem.
But, oh boy, you get into sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent.
It's all Greek to me.
No thank you.
The limit is infinity, sigma, delta, lambda.
It's all Greek to me.
I don't understand it.
I just, I don't.
It's completely difficult.
Even like physics.
Physics, you know, that's tough.
Chemistry, that's difficult.
But geometry, seriously, that's all Greek to me.
I really don't understand it.
HTML, computer programming, nope.
It's all Greek to me.
Photoshop, the computer program Photoshop.
Illustrator, nope.
Some people say they're easy.
No, to me, it's all Greek to me.
I don't get it.
Do not understand.
No comprende, as they say in Espanol, in Spanish.
As they say in Korean.
Yeah, that's all I know.
Capisce?
No capisce, as they say in Italian.
All right, that's it.
I'm going to let you guys go.
I hope you have a fantastic day.
Together, we're going to master English.
But you need to practice.
So join me every day.
Get a friend.
Practice the conversations together.
And I promise I'll be back.
Take care, everybody.
And once again, if you're celebrating Christmas, Merry Christmas.
If you're not, Happy Thursday.
Bye-bye.
Can you help me with my math?
