0:00:29.580,0:00:35.820
quick recap of last week's class. Alright
everyone so imagine I asked you:

0:00:35.820,0:00:43.920
What did you think about the applicant's
presentation? And you were very very

0:00:43.920,0:00:50.700

0:00:55.230,0:00:57.480
Are you ready? Alright go!

Alright time is up. If you said:
"Yes! I was blown away" then

0:01:06.720,0:01:11.000
that's exactly right.
Well done! Thank you for remembering last week's class.

0:01:11.420,0:01:17.700
Alright so everyone, so let's
move on to today's expression: "to be into

0:01:17.700,0:01:23.460

Yes. I really like reading about business.

0:01:39.020,0:01:44.660

must really like reading. Okay now this

0:01:44.670,0:01:49.290
is fine - it's easy and it's simple.
However, you may hear a native English

speaker say something like this:
Yes. I'm really into reading about business.

really, really like something, you're

really into something, okay? So I'm really
in to learning more about leadership,

0:02:10.679,0:02:15.690

it is, if you really, really enjoy it, if

you really, really love it, you're
really into it, okay everyone?

0:02:28.400,0:02:34.980
Alright so pronunciation here, so please repeat
after me: Yes. I'm really into reading

0:02:34.980,0:02:38.600

about business. Your turn.

0:02:41.040,0:02:47.620
Alright very good. Okay now after my sentence here:
Wow. you have a lot of business books!
