Hello, hello, hello, and welcome to another edition of English Makes No Sense, the podcast where we have fun with the English language one lesson at a time.
And this week we're doing the two-minute lessons again, so let's get started.
My name is S.L.
Rockfish, and I have a question for you.
Ever heard someone say, don't worry, you'll get the hang of it?
And thought, hang of what?
What am I hanging?
Now, get the hang of it is our idiom of the day, and it means to learn how to do something, especially after practice.
It's usually used when something feels difficult at first, but it gets easier.
For example...
I didn't understand Zoom at first, but I got the hang of it.
Remember COVID when we all got on Zoom?
How about this?
Give it a week.
You'll get the hang of using the new software.
Let's do that one again.
Give it a week.
You'll get the hang of using the new software.
Or, hey, she's getting the hang of driving in the new city.
Got it?
