Hello everyone. Justin here, and welcome
back to another Bizmates for Beginners
0:00:04.830,0:00:09.389
video lesson where every week, we
introduce a new idiom, phrase or
0:00:09.389,0:00:14.190
expression that you can use in your
daily business conversation. And this
0:00:14.190,0:00:21.300
week, everyone, we are going to learn "I
second that." "I second that," okay, so if
0:00:21.300,0:00:25.199
you're curious and want to know what
this means, please stay tuned. But first,
0:00:25.199,0:00:30.539
as always, let's begin with a quick
review of last week's lesson. Okay
0:00:30.539,0:00:36.180
everyone, so imagine I asked you what
hotel should I book for my business trip
0:00:36.180,0:00:42.570
and you are going to recommend the Cross Roads Hotel because of its great cost
0:00:42.570,0:00:47.910
performance, okay. It's got great value
for my money. So how do you say that
0:00:47.910,0:00:52.260
using the expression from last week? I'll
give you five seconds. Are you ready? Okay,
0:00:52.260,0:01:03.510
and go. Alright and time is up. If you
said "I suggest the Cross Roads Hotel. It's
0:01:03.510,0:01:08.400
a real bang for your buck," and that's
exactly right. Well done and thank you
0:01:08.400,0:01:13.590
for remembering last week's class. Okay
everyone, let's move on to "I second that."
0:01:13.590,0:01:19.650
Now this is what I sometimes hear,
alright? So I'm working on a big project
0:01:19.650,0:01:25.890
with my colleague Taro but things aren't
going very well. We're running into a few
0:01:25.890,0:01:31.939
problems. So say that you know, I don't
know if we can really meet this deadline
0:01:31.939,0:01:39.860
realistically. So I think we should delay
the launch of the product. Taro says "I
0:01:39.860,0:01:44.549
think so too."
Okay, good I'm glad we are on the same
0:01:44.549,0:01:49.920
page. I'm glad we think the same thing.
But Taro can use a different expression.
0:01:49.920,0:01:56.430
For example, yes that's right.
I second that. Okay, so whenever you agree
0:01:56.430,0:01:59.219
with someone's opinion you can say "I
second that."
0:01:59.219,0:02:04.200
So for example, I'm so glad that we have
a long weekend coming up. You say "yeah I
0:02:04.200,0:02:10.530
second that." Yeah I think this product
needs to be a little bit more advanced.
0:02:10.530,0:02:13.890
you say "yeah I second that." Okay so
whenever you agree
0:02:13.890,0:02:19.110
to something someone is saying, you can say "I second that." Okay everyone?
0:02:19.110,0:02:23.340
All right pronunciation. Very simple. As
you see it here. So please repeat after
0:02:23.340,0:02:29.430
me. "I second that." Your turn. Okay now after
0:02:29.430,0:02:33.930
my sentence here. "You know we're having a lot of issues with the product design so
0:02:33.930,0:02:40.620
I think we should delay the launch of
the product." Good. Okay. "I second that."
0:02:40.620,0:02:45.000
All right everyone, so please remember
this for next time. Okay our bonus
0:02:45.000,0:02:50.220
question this week is another way to say
"yeah no problem so far. If you know what
0:02:50.220,0:02:54.000
that is, you can feel free to leave it in
the comments below. If you're not sure
0:02:54.000,0:02:58.709
but you're curious we covered it in one
of our previous video lessons, so take a
0:02:58.709,0:03:03.870
look if you have the time. Okay everyone,
so that is it for us this week. Thank you
0:03:03.870,0:03:10.010
always for watching. Have a great weekend and I will see you next time. Thank you.
