  • Hello and welcome to the English We Speak.

  • I'm Jiayin.

  • And I'm Rob.

  • Hey, Jiang.

  • I wonder if you can help me with something.

  • I'm always happy to help, Rob.

  • What is it?

  • Well, I haven't finished making today's program, and I thought maybe you could quickly do it.

  • The program is not finished, Rob.

  • Just making a program is easier said than done.

  • So it's easy.

  • You can do it.

  • No, Rob.

  • It's easy to say do it, but in practice it's not.

  • Easier said than done is an expression.

  • We use it to mean what we say about doing something is easy, but in reality, it's difficult to do.

  • Okay, so making this program easy isn't that easy.
