Hello, everybody. My name is Coach Shane and welcome to Easy English Expressions.
You and me every day!
Come on! Let's master English!
Hello everybody! Welcome back to Daily Easy English Expression, the podcast. Today I want to thank the new Patreons, the new sponsors over the past week.
You guys are unbelievable.
I sincerely appreciate your help.
Before I mention your names, let's first discover today's expression.
In a heartbeat. In a heartbeat.
H E A R T B E A T. It is one word. What does in a heartbeat mean?
It means in a second.
In a second. I will help you in a heartbeat.
I will call him in a heartbeat.
I would do it in a heartbeat.
It's such a great expression to do something without thinking very quickly absolutely right away without hesitation all of these are involved in the expression so I'll give you an example if You could travel to the United States, would you go?
some of you would say in a heartbeat absolutely I would go without hesitation right away yes boom I'm there but you know some people might not really like the u .s. so they would say well maybe maybe not some people might be a little bit older I do I don't mean like a grandpa grandma but just like my age you know in the 40s?
Ah traveling to another country?
Ah boy I don't know and you got to make reservations and you got to rent a car and exchange money.
Gotta worry about the language difference, the food, the hospital.
What happens if you get sick?
There's too many worries, somebody like me does not travel easily.
But when I was younger, there, I would travel in a heartbeat.
Hey, Shane, would you like to go to Italy?
Yeah! I'm there in a heartbeat!
Hey, Shane, would you like to go to Japan?
Yeah! I'm there in a heartbeat!
Hey, Shane, would you like to go to the grocery store?
Yeah! I'm there in a heartbeat!
I would go immediately and also without hesitation, without worry, without thought.
That's the key idea of this expression.
Let's check out a dialogue.
Ah, I hate my job! Google's hiring.
Oh, I take a job there in a heartbeat!
Yeah but would they take you?
That's not nice. Yeah.
Well Google is hiring the company Google.
They are hiring, they're looking for people.
Would you be interested in working for Google?
A really good salary, good benefits, maybe some stock options.
hmm. If you had a choice, Google, Microsoft, or Apple, where would you want to work?
None of them? Yeah.
Me? No thanks. Once again, if I were younger, boy that would be a tough one.
Google, Apple, or Microsoft?
Boy, that would be difficult.
Microsoft? No. Google Google or Apple?
My goodness. I like both and they�re so different, right?
They�re so different and yet they�re so similar.
I would probably go Apple because Google is scary.
I think that Google people are really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really smart and Apple people are dumb.
No, I didn�t say that.
I�m just joking. No. But if I were young, I would probably take a job at Google in a heartbeat, at Apple in heartbeat at Microsoft in a heartbeat.
Yeah. If I had no money I'd take a job at McDonald's in a heartbeat.
Sure. Without thinking, without hesitation, right away.
It's a great expression.
It means immediately, right away.
But the deeper nuance, the deeper meaning to this expression is it means without hesitation.
Can you give me an example of something you would do in a heartbeat?
