Hello, everyone. Justin here, and welcome
back to another Bizmates For Beginners
0:00:04.650,0:00:09.120
video lesson, where every week, we
introduce a new idiom, phrase, or
0:00:09.120,0:00:13.540
expression that you can use in your
daily business conversation.
0:00:13.540,0:00:19.220
This week, everyone, let's learn to
"have a change of heart".
0:00:19.220,0:00:24.500
Okay. So, to find out what this means and
how to use it, stay tuned. But first, as always,
0:00:24.500,0:00:29.720
let's kick it off with a review
of last week's class. All right, everyone.
0:00:29.720,0:00:36.460
So imagine, I asked you: "So who is going to be the project leader?" and you think
0:00:36.460,0:00:43.060
I should be the project leader. So, how do
you say that using the expression from last week?
0:00:43.060,0:00:49.340
I'll give you 5 seconds to think about it.
Are you ready? Okay, go!
0:00:51.280,0:00:58.940
All right, everyone. And time is up. If you
said: "Actually, I think you should take the wheel on this one."
0:00:58.940,0:01:03.540
Then well done. Good job and thank you for remembering last week's class.
0:01:03.540,0:01:06.040
All right, everyone. Let's move on to
0:01:06.040,0:01:12.240
"have a change of heart"
Now, this is what I sometimes hear. Okay, again,
0:01:12.240,0:01:16.700
I'm talking to my good friend and
colleague, Taro, and I say:
0:01:16.700,0:01:22.480
"Taro, I hear you decided on the name of our new product."
0:01:22.480,0:01:26.820
So, we are creating and launching a new product soon.
0:01:26.820,0:01:33.940
So, Taro, as the project leader, he has decided on the name of the product.
0:01:33.940,0:01:40.380
But Taro says: "Well actually, I changed my mind. I changed my decision.
0:01:40.380,0:01:43.590
and I need more time to think about it."
0:01:43.590,0:01:49.619
Okay, I understand. Yeah, thinking about a
product name isn't easy. All aright.
0:01:49.620,0:01:59.060
So, I understand. Maybe you need more time or you want to change your mind because you want to think of a better idea.
0:01:59.060,0:02:04.460
So, this is easy to understand. I changed my mind. But, you might hear a native English speaker saying:
0:02:04.460,0:02:10.360
"Well actually, I had a change of heart. I need more time to think about it."
0:02:10.360,0:02:13.460
Okay. So, whenever you change your decision,
0:02:13.460,0:02:18.400
change your mind, or change the way you want to do something,
0:02:18.400,0:02:22.080
you "have a change of heart". So, for example,
0:02:22.080,0:02:30.660
Maybe I decided I wanted to transfer to
a different section. I wanted to move
0:02:30.660,0:02:35.840
from, let's say, the sales department to
the marketing department.
0:02:35.840,0:02:44.020
But I changed my mind. So, I say: "Well actually, I had a change of heart. I want to stay in the sales team."
0:02:44.020,0:02:50.380
Okay? For example. All right,
everyone. So, pronunciation: "had a change of heart."
0:02:50.380,0:02:56.700
Okay? It's as you see it here, so please repeat after me: "Actually, I had a change of heart."
0:02:56.700,0:03:00.720
Your turn.
0:03:00.720,0:03:03.900
All right, very good. Now after my sentence here, so:
0:03:03.900,0:03:08.420
"Hey, I hear you decided on the name of
our new product. What is it?"
0:03:08.420,0:03:14.340
You say:
0:03:14.340,0:03:20.340
Right. "Well actually, I had a change of heart. I need more time to think about it." Okay?
0:03:20.340,0:03:24.900
All right, everyone, please remember
this for our review next week.
0:03:24.900,0:03:29.780
Okay, our bonus question today is another way to say:
"a big failure".
0:03:29.780,0:03:33.940
So, if you know a better way of saying this, please leave it in the comments below;
0:03:33.940,0:03:40.720
if not, you can find out what the answer is in one of our previous Bizmates For Beginners video lessons,
0:03:40.720,0:03:42.430
so take a look if you have the time.
0:03:42.430,0:03:47.170
All right, everyone. So, that is it for us
this week. Thank you always for watching.
0:03:47.170,0:03:50.170
Have a great week, everyone, and I will
see you next time.
