Hello, everyone and thank you for tuning
in to another Bizmates for beginners video lesson.
This week our expression is
go with your gut.
So very interesting expression.
So how do we use it?
What does it mean? Let's find out, but
first a quick review of last week's expression.
OK, everybody, imagine I say:
I don't know how to do this. Can you teach me?
What do you say?
You have five seconds, alright? Go!
And time's up, everyone. If you said
Of course. and then "Give it a go"
then you got it.
Nice job, thank you very much.
Alright so let's move on to this week's expression
go with your gut.
Now this is what I sometimes hear:
So I'm talking to my good friend and colleague, Taro
and I say:
Taro, I'm so confused. I don't know what I should do.
Should I do A or should I do B?
And Taro, he's got really good
experience and he has some
good advice for me he says:
Use feeling!
OK, so I think I know what Taro wants to say --
use my feeling, but that's not
very natural. Instead, Taro should say...
that's right
Go with your gut!
OK, so "go with your gut" means
to use your instincts, to use your feelings
to decide something
Now "gut" actually means your stomach here
but when we say
use your gut or "go with your gut"
it means don't think too much. Just go with
what feels natural or what feels right,
okay? Go with your gut.
Now for a rhythm and pronunciation.
OK, we'll group the first two
words together again
Go with becomes
Gowith
and "your gut" becomes
yourgut
so "gowith - yourgut."
OK, everyone? One more small point
please be careful with the TH sound.
I've had some students who have
had some issues with that pronunciation, okay?
So it's not with, it's with, alright?
So your tongue will come between your teeth.
So you're pushing air between your
teeth. You're pushing air out
so "with." Okay, everyone?
so please repeat after me...
Go with your gut.
Your turn, go ahead.
Excellent! OK, now after my expression:
I'm so confused. I don't know what I should do.
Alright, that's right. Go with your gut.
Very good advice. Thank you, Taro.
Alright, everyone, so please try to
remember this expression
and use it in your daily conversation.
Now this week's bonus question is another way to say:
You are excellent.
Alright, what's the answer? If you have
some time, go back into some of the
previous Bizmates for beginners video
lessons and try and find the answer.
If you have it, leave it in the comments
below and I'll get back to you.
OK, everybody that is it for my time this
week.
Thank you again so much, it's nice to see
all of you. Have a great rest of the week
and I'll see you next time.
Thank you.
