How to Describe a Bad Day in English
Have you learned how to talk about a bad day in English? Sometimes I'm sure you have great days, awesome days, even spectacular days. Sometimes though you have a bad day. I hope they are rare, but when they happen I want to make sure you've learned how to talk about them in English.
In this English lesson I'll teach you 10 sentences that you can use when you have a bad day. These are all very common phrases in my area, and they'll certainly help you learn how to express yourself in your next English conversation.
In this free English class you'll learn phrases like: Nothing's going my way, I've had better days, I got up on the wrong side of the bed, This day is off to a bad start, Nothing's going according to plan, and many more!
I hope you enjoy this English lesson about how to talk about a bad day. Have a great day!

another reason for me to watch Bob's videos is because I want to see the beautifull scenery behind him 😅 thanks bob!
You know what, I got the feeling that something is wrong here; an adorable puppy, rows of pretty flowers, and Bob's smiling face don't help me imagine a bad day. If someone asked me what today's lesson is about, I would say that it's about how to live a good summer day or a wonderful, cool summer day on a blessed piece of land..

Hi Bob, I would like to give you some expressions in French on the same topic as "bad days" like: I got up on the wrong side of the bed ! - Je me suis levé(e) du mauvais pied ! I can’t do anything right today! - Je n'arrive à rien faire de bon aujourd'hui ! Ou - Je suis bon à rien aujourd’hui, il y a tout qui va de travers ! Nothing's going my way - Rien ne va comme je veux aujourd'hui ! Why me? - Pourquoi moi ? ça tombe toujours sur moi ! I’ve had better days! - J'ai déjà eu des jours meilleurs ! This day is off to a bad start! - Cette journée me semble mal partie ! Nothing's going according to plan! - Tous mes plans vont de travers aujourd'hui ! It's time to call it a day! - Il est grand temps que cette journée se termine, je propose de s'arrêter là pour aujourd'hui ! It's just one thing after another! - C'est incroyable, c'est juste un problème (ou une «emmerde») après l'autre aujourd'hui ! Ou - C’est incroyable, les ennuis/ «emmerdes» volent toujours en escadrille ! I wish you very nice and great days.

I have heard in a comedy the expression: "Ok, let's call it a day". It was used at the end of the class, as some kind of goodbye. I mean "It's time to call it a day", we could probably cut a little bit and then it's easier to remember.

Thank you for your video. It was really useful. However, what I don't like about learning new words is that you learn them but then you forget them. I think it's because English learners don't know how to activate their passive vocabulary. It would be extremely great if you make video on such topic.

To turn you back on someone means to ignore them in a serious way for a long time. Here's an example: Because I'm a criminal, my family has turned their backs on me. The second phrase simply means I'll contact you in the future. Here's an example: I'd like to buy that car from you, but I'm going to ask my brother for money first and then I'll get back to you. 😎🎂🎨
