Hello everyone! Justin here and welcome back to another
0:00:03.975,0:00:06.745
Bizmates for Beginners video lesson
0:00:06.745,0:00:09.635
where every week we introduce a new idiom, phrase,
0:00:09.635,0:00:12.485
or expression that you can use in your daily
0:00:12.485,0:00:15.595
business conversation. And this week everyone, we are
0:00:15.595,0:00:18.635
going to learn: Smooth Sailing
0:00:18.635,0:00:21.445
So, to find out what this means and how to use it
0:00:21.445,0:00:24.515
please stay tuned. But first, as always,
0:00:24.515,0:00:27.735
let's begin with a quick review of last week's class.
0:00:27.735,0:00:28.735
0:00:29.135,0:00:32.005
Alright, so imagine, I ask you: Are you
0:00:32.005,0:00:35.265
ready to start our next big project?
0:00:35.265,0:00:38.305
And of course, you are more than ready, you are
0:00:38.305,0:00:41.380
very excited. You can't wait to start
0:00:41.380,0:00:42.915
the next project. So,
0:00:43.315,0:00:46.275
how do you say using the expression from last week.
0:00:46.275,0:00:49.365
I'll give you 5 seconds. Are you ready? Ok
0:00:49.405,0:00:50.405
Go!
0:00:53.635,0:00:56.475
Alright, and time is up,
0:00:56.475,0:00:59.445
if you said: I can't wait to dive in!
0:00:59.485,0:01:02.475
Then that's exactly right. Well done! And thank you for
0:01:02.475,0:01:05.245
remembering last week's class. Ok everyone,
0:01:05.295,0:01:08.515
so let's move on to: Smooth Sailing
0:01:08.515,0:01:11.655
Now, this is what I sometimes hear.
0:01:11.805,0:01:14.845
Alright, so Taro started a new project.
0:01:14.845,0:01:17.875
Right? So, I'm following up with him
0:01:17.875,0:01:19.555
to see how things are going. So say:
0:01:20.385,0:01:23.385
Taro, how is your new project going so far? Taro
0:01:23.385,0:01:26.435
says: No problem so far!
0:01:26.435,0:01:27.435
Ok, great.
0:01:27.675,0:01:30.955
I'm happy to hear that. I'm happy to hear that things are going very well
0:01:30.955,0:01:34.015
very smoothly. Now, although this is fine
0:01:34.015,0:01:36.865
it's vey simple, easy to understand, you might
0:01:36.865,0:01:39.755
hear a native English speaker say this:
0:01:39.755,0:01:42.575
Smooth sailing! Alright? So,
0:01:42.575,0:01:45.355
whenever things are going well, there's no problem,
0:01:45.355,0:01:48.095
things are easy, things are smooth.
0:01:48.095,0:01:51.065
Alright? So, its: Smooth sailing. Ok?
0:01:51.065,0:01:53.465
So, for example, if you change jobs,
0:01:53.465,0:01:56.565
and it's going very well, I say: So, how is your new
0:01:56.565,0:01:59.305
job going so far? And you can say:
0:01:59.305,0:02:01.955
Smooth sailing! So no problems, everything is
0:02:02.185,0:02:05.525
going very well. No issues. Smooth sailing. Ok?
0:02:05.595,0:02:08.325
Alright, so, the pronunciation, as you can see
0:02:08.325,0:02:11.205
here, smooth sailing. Alright? So make
0:02:11.205,0:02:14.385
sure you get a 'th' sound at the end here. Ok?
0:02:14.385,0:02:17.315
It's not a 'z' sound like 'smooz'.
0:02:17.315,0:02:20.265
Sometimes I hear smooz, 'smooz' ok.
0:02:20.265,0:02:23.445
But it's 'smooth'. Alright, there's a 'th' there. So please remember that.
0:02:23.895,0:02:27.045
Alright, so 'smooth sailing'. So go ahead, your turn:
0:02:27.045,0:02:28.095
Smooth sailing.
0:02:30.145,0:02:33.355
Alright, very good! Alright, now after my question:
0:02:33.355,0:02:34.325

0:02:40.765,0:02:43.705
