Hello everyone, and welcome to another
Bizmates for Beginners video lesson
0:00:05.220,0:00:10.410
where every week we introduce a new
idiom, phrase or expression that you can
0:00:10.410,0:00:15.719
use in your daily business conversation.
And this week everyone, we are going to
0:00:15.719,0:00:21.060
learn: "over the moon." So if you want to
know what this means and how to use it,
0:00:21.060,0:00:26.970
please stay tuned. But first, as always,
let's do a quick review of last week's
0:00:26.970,0:00:33.450
class. Alright everyone, so imagine I
asked you: Do you have any questions
0:00:33.450,0:00:39.390
before you go on your business trip?
And you want to ask me if you need an
0:00:39.390,0:00:46.230
adapter for the consent. OK now
remember it's not "consent" -- what did we
0:00:46.230,0:00:50.219
learn last week? I'll give you five
seconds to think about it. You ready?
0:00:50.220,0:00:51.820
Alright go!
0:00:54.600,0:01:01.680
OK and time is up. If you
asked: "Do I need an adapter for the power outlet?"
0:01:01.680,0:01:05.400
then that's exactly right. Well
done and thank you for remembering last
0:01:05.400,0:01:10.680
week's class. Alright let's move on to:
"over the moon." Now this is what I
0:01:10.680,0:01:17.250
sometimes hear... OK again I am speaking
to my good friend and colleague, Taro, and
0:01:17.250,0:01:23.640
I asked him: So, Taro, the clients really
loved your proposal. Good job!
0:01:23.640,0:01:28.979
How does it feel? Because you know, you
were working on that proposal all week.
0:01:28.979,0:01:35.720
It was really stressful, but they really
loved it, so must feel great! Taro says:
0:01:35.720,0:01:41.340
Yes, I'm so happy. Good.
OK well of course you should be very
0:01:41.340,0:01:47.040
happy because you worked so hard.
Alright although this is fine, we can
0:01:47.040,0:01:50.399
use something a little bit more
interesting to give it a little bit more
0:01:50.399,0:01:56.909
punch, and that is... Yes, I'm over the moon.
Alright so when you are not just happy,
0:01:56.909,0:02:02.310
you are really, really happy -- you're
excited, you're so happy -- you
0:02:02.310,0:02:08.910
are over the moon, okay? So yeah, it's an
easy expression and if you ever feel
0:02:08.910,0:02:13.310
that, then you can use this okay? When
you're really, really happy
0:02:13.310,0:02:19.220
you're really excited, you are over the
moon, okay? So maybe you felt that the
0:02:19.220,0:02:24.290
last time you got a big raise, or you got
a big contract, or you got a
0:02:24.290,0:02:27.110
promotion, you must have felt over the
moon.
0:02:27.110,0:02:32.270
Alright so pronunciation, it's as you see
it here nothing special this week.
0:02:32.270,0:02:36.980
So please repeat after me:
I'm over the moon. Your turn.
0:02:39.660,0:02:44.200
Good. Alright
and after my sentences here:
0:02:44.200,0:02:47.860
So the clients really loved your proposal!
So how does it feel?
0:02:49.720,0:02:52.080
Yeah that's right.
I'm over the moon.
0:02:52.080,0:02:55.340
Alright everyone so please
remember this for next time.
0:02:55.800,0:03:01.780
OK our bonus question this week is another way
to say: "in a hard situation." If you know
0:03:01.790,0:03:05.510
what the answer is, you can leave it in
the comments below. If you don't know
0:03:05.510,0:03:10.100
