これから同僚のタロウと一緒に外回りに行くヒカ。

“Taro, are you ready? Let’s go.”
「タロウ、準備できた？行こうか。」

とタロウに聞きました。

「ああ、準備万端だよ。」

Hello, everyone. Welcome to this
Bizmates for beginners video series

and today's idiom is
all set.

Everything set.
What does this mean? We will find out but

first let's do our test. So there's a
new person in our company and I say:

Who's the new guy? Who is that guy?
And you say...

That's right.
That's Saito-san, a.k.a. super cost cutter.

His nickname is super cost cutter.
OK, I hope you got that.

OK, let's go on to today's idiom
all set.

OK, here's what I sometimes hear --
so let's imagine Taro and I

are going to visit a customer
So we're going out and I say:

Taro, are you ready? Let's go.
And he says:

Yes, I'm ready to leave.

Perfect. OK, I'm ready to leave.
Nothing is wrong with this

but another way to say this and
to sound very natural is like this...

I say: Taro, are you ready? Let's go.
And he says:

I'm all set. I'm all set. Very natural.
I'm ready. I'm all prepared.

OK, just like that.
Let's look at pronunciation, it's just

I'm all set. I'm all set.
You try...

Perfect. With my sentence:
Are you ready?

OK, let's go. Just like that.
OK, so next time I will ask you:

Hey, are you ready?
And you could say...

I'm all set.

OK, you could use this not just for leaving
but before you start an English lesson

I'm all set. Before we start a meeting --
Are you ready for the meeting?

I'm all set

OK, I'm ready. OK, please remember this and
we will see you next time. Thank you.
