Hello, everyone, Justin here.
0:00:01.960,0:00:06.360
Welcome back to another Bizmates For Beginners video lesson, where every week,
0:00:06.360,0:00:12.480
we introduce a new idiom, phrase, or expression that you can use in your daily business conversation.
0:00:12.660,0:00:19.980
This week, everyone, we are going to learn "Count me in". So, to find out how to use this and what it means,
0:00:19.980,0:00:24.280
stay tuned. But first, everyone, I hope you remember last week's class
0:00:24.280,0:00:26.960
because we are going to do a quick review
0:00:26.960,0:00:32.640
All right. So, imagine I asked you:
"What do you think about the business model?"
0:00:32.640,0:00:40.140
"It's great, right?" Okay. And yes, after my long explanation, you are convinced,
0:00:40.140,0:00:46.980
and you think the business model is a great idea. So, what do you say using the expression from last week?
0:00:46.980,0:00:57.540
You've got five seconds. Are you ready? Okay, go.
All right, and the answer is:
0:00:57.540,0:01:02.940
"I'm sold. So, what do you need
me to do?" Okay. So, hopefully, you got it.
0:01:02.940,0:01:08.300
Thank you very much for remembering last week's class. Okay, everyone, let's move on to:
0:01:08.300,0:01:15.500
"Count me in." Now, this is what I sometimes hear. Okay. So, it has been a long day
0:01:15.500,0:01:23.720
and I am ready to leave the office. So, but before I leave, I see my friend and colleague, Taro.
0:01:23.720,0:01:30.080
He's still working hard. So, I say:
"Hey, Taro. You know, we're heading out for a cold one after work. Do you want to come?"
0:01:30.080,0:01:34.060
All right. Some of you might remember. "A cold one" means,
0:01:34.060,0:01:38.180
like a nice cool glass of beer, for example, after a long day.
0:01:38.180,0:01:45.220
All right. So, I'm inviting him out for a drink.
Taro says: "Yes, I will join."
0:01:45.220,0:01:50.600
Okay, great. Yeah. Everyone that needs
to relax a little bit after work, right?
0:01:50.600,0:01:57.340
Okay. So, yes I will join. Yeah, that's good.
It's a little bit kind of direct. It's not very natural.
0:01:57.340,0:02:03.780
So, maybe Taro can say this instead: "Yeah, count me in." Okay.
0:02:03.780,0:02:09.400
So, if you are excited to join; if you're happy to join; then you can say, "count me in."
0:02:09.400,0:02:13.700
So, if someone asks you to join their soccer game next weekend,
0:02:13.700,0:02:18.720
or if someone asks you to join the
company party- the barbecue party,
0:02:18.720,0:02:24.760
whatever- you can say "Sure. If you're
going to join, count me in." Okay, count me in.
0:02:24.760,0:02:34.380
All right, so the pronunciation is as
you see it here, so please repeat after
me. Count me in. Your turn.
0:02:34.380,0:02:40.060
All right, very good. Now after my question:
"Hey, we're heading out for a cold one after work. Do you want to come?"
0:02:40.160,0:02:44.120
Say: "Yeah, of course, count me in."
0:02:44.120,0:02:49.620
All right? So, please remember this for next time.
All right, everyone, our bonus question this week is
0:02:49.620,0:02:53.820
another way to say "that's
an easy answer." If you know what that is,
0:02:53.820,0:02:58.840
leave it in the comments below. If not,
well, you can find it in one of our previous
0:02:58.840,0:03:02.820
Bizmates For Beginners video
lessons, so take a look if you have the time.
0:03:02.820,0:03:07.700
Okay, everyone, so that is it for us
this week. Thank you always for watching.
0:03:07.709,0:03:13.520
Have a great week everyone, and I will
see you next time. Thank you.
