Hi there! Welcome back to another Bizmates for Beginners video lesson
00:04
where every week we introduced a new idiom, phrase, or expression that you can
00:08
use in your daily business conversation. And in this week everyone, we are going
00:13
to learn: Game-Changer. So to find out what this means, please
00:17
stay tuned. But first let's begin with a quick review of last week's lesson.
00:22
Alright everyone, so imagine I ask you: What does the team think about our new
00:28
idea? And unfortunately our idea didn't really impress them. So, how do you say
00:36
that using the expression from last week. I'll give you five seconds. Are you ready?
00:42
Okay go!
00:48
Alright, and time is up. If you said:
00:51
Unfortunately, the idea fell flat. Then that's exactly right. Well done, and thank
00:57
you for remembering last week's lesson. Okay everyone, let's move on to:
01:02
Game-Changer. Now, this is what I sometimes hear. Alright, so I'm talking to my good
01:08
friend and colleague Taro, and we are talking about our new marketing campaign.
01:14
We have this great idea and the marketing team came up with a really
01:19
interesting concept. So, I said: Taro, what do you think about
01:24
our new marketing approach? Isn't it great? I think it's really awesome! Taro
01:29
says: Yes, I think it will be a really positive impact. Okay, so maybe until now
01:38
nothing has really changed. It's kind of the same style or the same approach. So,
01:44
things are going to change and Taro thinks it will have a really
01:49
big impact. Now although this is okay, you might hear a native English speaker say this:
01:56
Yes, I think it will be a game- changer. Alright, so whenever something
02:03
is going to really have a big impact and change how things are currently, it's a
02:10
game-changer. Okay, so for example, a long time ago people were using horses.
02:17
Okay? For transportation. But when the car, the automobile came into the market, it
02:25
was a real game-changer. Okay, it changed everything. The Internet, of course, was a
02:30
huge game-changer. Alright, maybe in the future something like
02:34
virtual reality or augmented reality or artificial intelligence or machine
02:41
learning. Maybe these things will be game-changers. Okay, so anything that has a
02:46
really big impact and is going to change the current situation completely, is a
02:53
game-changer. Alright everyone? Okay, now pronunciation. So as you see it here,
02:58
so please repeat after me: I think it will be a game-changer.
03:03
Your turn
03:05
Excellent! Alright, now after my question: So, what do you think about our
03:09
new marketing approach?
03:14
Alright good, so I think it will be a game-changer.
03:17
Okay everyone, so please remember this for next time. Okay, so our bonus question
03:23
this week is another way to say: have much work. If you know what the answer is,
03:28
feel free to leave it in the comments below. If you don't know what the answer
03:32
is, well you are in luck. It's in one of our previous videos so I covered it
03:37
before. So if you've got some time see if you can find the answer there. Okay alright
03:42
so everyone, so that is it for me this week. Thank you always for watching.
03:46
Have a great weekend everyone and I'll see you next time. Thank you!
