Hello everyone, Justin here and welcome
to another Bizmates for Beginners video
0:00:05.310,0:00:10.679
lesson where every week we introduce a
new idiom, phrase, or expression that you
0:00:10.679,0:00:15.450
can use in your daily business
conversation. And this week everyone, we
0:00:15.450,0:00:21.720
are going to learn: "right around the
corner.' Right around the corner, so what
0:00:21.720,0:00:26.730
does that mean? Well, stay tuned to find
out but first, as always, let's begin with
0:00:26.730,0:00:32.700
a quick review of last week's class.
Alright everyone, so imagine I say to you:
0:00:32.700,0:00:39.980
There are so many smart devices these
days. And of course you agree. They are
0:00:39.980,0:00:45.270
everywhere, alright? They're not rare --
it's everywhere. So how do you say that
0:00:45.270,0:00:49.800
using the expression from last week?
I'll give you five seconds to think about it.
0:00:49.800,0:00:52.760
Are you ready? Okay, go!
0:00:56.740,0:01:02.800
Alright and time is up. If you said:
Yes. They're a dime a dozen!
0:01:02.800,0:01:06.500
Then that's exactly right,
well done and thank you for remembering
0:01:06.510,0:01:12.060
last week's class. Alright everyone
let's move on to: "right around the corner."
0:01:12.060,0:01:18.180
Now imagine this... I'm talking to my good
friend and colleague, Taro. I say: Taro,, wow
0:01:18.180,0:01:24.119
it's already end of December. I can't
believe the year is almost over.
0:01:24.119,0:01:34.790
Unbelievable, 2018 almost finished.
Taro, says: That's right! 2019 is coming soon!
0:01:34.790,0:01:40.079
That's right. So okay, very good. Thank you,
Taro. Now although this is all right, you
0:01:40.079,0:01:44.460
might hear your native colleague or
native English speaker say something
0:01:44.460,0:01:50.640
like this: That's right! 2019 is just
right around the corner! Alright, so
0:01:50.640,0:01:56.490
we're not physically right around the
corner, we can use this expression to
0:01:56.490,0:02:03.180
represent time as well, all right? So
whenever something is going to happen
0:02:03.180,0:02:08.759
soon, all right, you can say that it's
right around the corner. So Christmas is
0:02:08.759,0:02:13.380
right around the corner, New Year's is
just right around the corner.
0:02:13.380,0:02:17.580
The deadline is just right around the corner.
Okay, something that's going to happen
0:02:17.580,0:02:24.300
soon is right around the corner, okay?
Alright so pronunciation, as you see it
0:02:24.300,0:02:30.700
here, please repeat after me: That's right!
2019 is right around the corner! Your turn.
0:02:33.560,0:02:39.500
Okay, very good. Now after my
sentence here: Wow! I can't believe the
0:02:39.500,0:02:41.180
year is almost over!
0:02:43.720,0:02:48.580
Okay that's right
2019 is right around the corner okay.
0:02:48.580,0:02:53.900
And just a little extra for you here, if you
wanted to emphasize that it's really
0:02:53.910,0:02:58.700
really going to come soon -- it's very near --
you can even put a "just" here, alright?
0:02:58.700,0:03:04.560
"...is just right around the corner." "Just" for a
little emphasis, okay? Alright,, so please
0:03:04.560,0:03:08.790
