Hello everyone! Justin here and I am back
with another Bizmates for Beginners
0:00:04.410,0:00:08.670
video lesson where every week we
introduced a new idiom, phrase, or
0:00:08.670,0:00:13.049
expression that you can use in your
daily business conversation. This week
0:00:13.049,0:00:20.580
everyone, we are going to learn to have:
Thick Skin. Thick skin. So this is skin
0:00:20.580,0:00:25.800
right? So to have thick skin, what does
this mean? Let's find out in our video
0:00:25.800,0:00:31.769
today. But first, let's do a quick review
of last week's lesson. Alright everyone
0:00:31.769,0:00:37.520
so imagine I say: Thank you so much for
helping me with my presentation. And
0:00:37.520,0:00:45.210
because you have so much experience and
so much skill it was easy for you. So you
0:00:45.210,0:00:48.719
say, of course you're welcome. But is
there a better way of saying that? I'll
0:00:48.720,0:00:53.060
give you five seconds to think about it.
Are you ready? Okay, go!.
0:00:57.460,0:01:03.260
Alright and time is up if you said: No
sweat! I'm always happy to help. Then
0:01:03.270,0:01:07.790
that's exactly right. Well done and thank
you for remembering last week's class.
0:01:07.790,0:01:14.420
Okay everyone let's move on to thick
skin. Now this is what I sometimes hear.
0:01:14.420,0:01:20.790
Okay, so Taro, my good friend and
colleague and I we just got out of a
0:01:20.790,0:01:29.759
really tough meeting. And in the meeting,
our boss was very angry at one of our
0:01:29.759,0:01:37.020
colleagues, Kim. So I asked Taro: You know,
is Kim okay? The boss yelled at her in
0:01:37.020,0:01:43.110
the meeting. Maybe he was very angry or
he didn't like the work she was doing, or
0:01:43.110,0:01:48.030
he didn't maybe appreciate her opinion, something like that. Okay, so is she okay?
0:01:48.030,0:01:55.079
Because that was a very scary situation
or tough situation. Taro says: Yeah she's
0:01:55.079,0:02:02.250
okay. Kim has a tough mind. Okay yeah I
can imagine Kim is very strong. Okay it
0:02:02.250,0:02:08.039
doesn't bother her so she has a tough
mind. Okay that's good, however you might
0:02:08.039,0:02:13.650
hear a native English speaker say: She's
okay, yeah. Kim has
0:02:13.650,0:02:22.560
thick skin. Okay so someone who has thick skin
is someone who isn't disturbed easily.
0:02:22.560,0:02:28.590
Someone that doesn't get insulted easily,
someone that doesn't take offense easily,
0:02:28.590,0:02:33.630
or they don't mind criticism. Okay
they're very tough, they have thick skin.
0:02:33.630,0:02:41.040
Okay now, on the other hand someone who
always gets insulted, someone who gets
0:02:41.040,0:02:49.200
angry or upset easily, okay they have
that's right, thin skin okay. But in this
0:02:49.200,0:02:55.350
case, Kim has very thick skin. So that's
good in business. Sometimes you need to
0:02:55.350,0:03:02.490
have thick skin okay, like armor, like
protection, nothing gets to you okay.
0:03:02.490,0:03:04.320
Alright, so please remember that for next
time.
0:03:04.320,0:03:08.760
Alright our pronunciation everyone, so
thick-skin. Alright we have a nice
0:03:08.760,0:03:13.970
'th' sound so push the air through your
teeth okay.
0:03:13.970,0:03:20.580
Thick thick okay. To get a nice 'th' sound
so please repeat after me. Yeah she's
0:03:20.600,0:03:23.520
okay. Kim has thick skin. Your turn!
0:03:26.380,0:03:31.140
Alright, very good.
Now after my sentences here: So is Kim
0:03:31.140,0:03:33.980
okay? The boss yelled at her in the meeting.
0:03:37.580,0:03:42.560
That's right, you said: Yeah she's okay. Kim has thick skin. Alright everyone, so okay we'll cover
0:03:42.570,0:03:48.570
this in our review for next week's class.
Alright our bonus question is another
0:03:48.570,0:03:54.360
way to say: We don't have enough
resources. Okay maybe we don't have
0:03:54.360,0:03:58.500
enough money maybe, we don't have enough
human resources, or maybe we don't have
0:03:58.500,0:04:04.470
time. How do we say this using a better
expression? We'll we covered it in one of
0:04:04.470,0:04:09.480
