Hello everyone, Justin here and welcome
to this week's Bizmates for Beginners
video lesson, where every week I
introduce a new idiom phrase or
expression to help you with your daily
business conversation. And today, everyone
we are going to learn the expression:
"pitch in." So let's find out how to use it
and what it means, but first as always,
let's do a quick review. Alright everyone
so imagine I say: I just can't figure out
how to use this new phone. And you of
course, want to give me some
encouragement. So what do you say using
the expression from last week? I'll give
you five seconds, okay? You ready?
Alright, go!
And time is up everyone.
If you said: "Don't worry! You will get the
hang of it" then that's exactly right.
Good job and thank you for remembering
last week's class. Alright so let's
move on to "pitch in." Now this is what I
sometimes hear... alright I'm talking to
Taro, my colleague, and I say: Taro, I don't
know how we can finish this project by
the deadline. There's so much work to do.
We don't have enough staff, it's going to
be very difficult to meet this deadline.
And Taro says: Well, if we all fight
together, we can do it. Right,
I like that message. Good team spirit --
fight together. Now although this is okay,
I understand what Taro wants to say. We
want to work together; we want to
cooperate, but this expression isn't
quite so natural. So, instead we can say:
Yes, if we all pitch in, we can do it.
Alright, so if we all "work together" - if we
all contribute, if we all cooperate with
one another, if we all "pitch" in, we
can do it. So it's a very nice and very
useful expression, especially when we are
talking about things like teamwork
and cooperation.
Alright, so pitch in... pronunciation, it's
very easy as you see it here. Pitch in,
okay? But of course these two might form
together, that might join when you
say it very quickly. So instead of pitch
in,
you might hear "pitchin" okay? Pitch in.
Alright so please repeat after me
everyone: if we all pitch in, we can do it.
Your turn.
Okay very good.
Alright, now after my sentence here:
I don't know how we can finish this
project by the deadline...
That's right.
If we all pitch in, we can do it. Okay?
Alright so please remember this for next
time. Okay our bonus question everyone is
another way to say: "employees' feeling." If you know what the answer is, of course
please leave it in our YouTube comments
below; if you don't, of course you can
find it in one of our previous videos,
okay everyone? So, and just a quick shout
out to Minnie. Thank you always for
commenting on the videos, Minnie. I
appreciate it, so keep them coming okay?
Alright so that is it for me this week
everyone, thank you so much, have a great
weekend. I'll see you next time. Thank you.
