Hello everybody. Welcome back to Daily Easy English Expression.
I've got to thank you.
Thank you so much for downloading and listening to this podcast. I have good news, everybody.
This podcast has been downloaded more than one hundred thousand times.
times. That is amazing.
You make me so happy.
I'm honored to be the English coach of so many people.
Now that does not mean a hundred thousand people.
I'm not sure how many people, but a lot of people and I thank you so much. At the end of today's podcast, we're going to go to iTunes and I'm going to introduce some of the people who left some ratings and some comments.
I appreciate that so much. Now today's expression is I'm down.
I'm down. I am down.
I am down. D -O -W -N.
Now many of you might know that to feel down means to be depressed, very sad, no energy, lacking enthusiasm, lacking energy, but if you say, I'm down, it can have a different meaning.
And it means, I like it.
I will do it. I will join.
I want to. That's what it means.
So, for example, if I say, Do you want to go to the movies tonight?
There's a new Bruce Willis movie.
If you want to go, you can say, I'm down.
If you do not want to go, Well can you say, I'm up?
No. You cannot do that.
So why do we say, I'm down?
Well the idea is, write my name down.
Include me on the list. This is the idea.
So if you're down for something that means you want to do something.
You are interested in joining.
We're going to start a new soccer team.
Do you wanna join? I'm down.
I'm going to start a new English class.
Would you like to study with me?
I'm down. That's the idea.
It's a great expression.
If somebody invites you to do something, if somebody suggests joining a team, Then, you can say, I'm down.
Okay? Let's check out a dialogue.
You wanna go watch the soccer game tonight?
You paying? No need.
Free tickets. Cool!
I'm down. Alright. Well, right now it's June 17th, 2014, and we are in the first week of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil very exciting matches and oh boy wouldn't it be great to go see a live soccer game Now I know you probably say football.
I apologize American English soccer Oh, it would be so wonderful to see that Even if you're not a fan of the sport feeling the energy and feeling the excitement.
I hope that's interesting to you.
I know, not for everybody.
For me, absolutely, I would go to any game.
It doesn't matter. Of course, as you may know, I'm hoping for Bosnia Herzegovina.
It's their first World Cup and I'm thinking they're gonna go all the way.
So, if anybody out there has World Cup tickets and you want to invite me, I'm down.
I'm going! Well, I guess there's the problem of my classes and plane tickets and hotels.
But in my dreams, I'm down!
Can you think of another example?
Well, let me know! Give me a situation when you could say I'm down You can leave me a message on Twitter at coach. SHANE on Facebook ESL coach Shane and on Google Plus.
We have a community.
