Hello everyone, Justin here and welcome
to this week's Bizmates for Beginners
video lesson. So every week, I introduce
a new idiom expression or phrase to help
you with your daily business
conversation. So let's jump right into it
and get started with our lesson today.
And, this week everyone, we are going to
5
00:00:21,810 --> 00:00:25,650
learn the expression "get the hang of it"
alright?
So let's find out what this means and
how to use it, but first as always, I hope
all of you we're studying and all of you
remember last week's expression because
we are going to do a quick review.
Alright everyone, so imagine I say: I hear
you're up for another promotion. How do
you feel? And of course you feel very
excited, you feel very happy. So how do
you say that using last week's
expression? I'll give you five seconds to
think about it okay, you ready?
Alright, go!
And time is up if you said
I'm on cloud nine, then that's exactly
right. Good job and thanks for
remembering the expression. Okay everyone,
so let's move on to "get the hang of it."
So this is what I sometimes hear -- so just
the other week I bought a new smartphone,
but I'm not very good with technology so
it's very hard for me to use this new
phone. You know, the features are
different, the operating system is
different, so I don't know what to do. So
I'm talking to Taro and I say: You know,
Taro, I just can't figure out how to use
this new phone! It's so difficult. Taro
says: Yeah, don't worry! You will soon
understand! OK, yes I understand. So of
course when you try something new, it
takes some time to get used to it. Now
although this expression is okay,
I understand what Taro wants to say. You
might hear something a little bit
different, for example... yes, that's right.
Don't worry!
You will get the hang of it. OK so
whenever you want to give someone
encouragement, okay. Maybe they feel "ah
this, you know, this is really difficult. I
don't understand" but you want to give
them support. You want to, you know, give
them some encouragement, some positive
energy, you can say: yeah, don't worry. I
know it's difficult, but you'll get the
hang of it.
Okay? So at first, it's difficult, but
after time, you will learn how to be
better; you will become more used to it,
alright?
You'll get the hang of it, okay? Alright
so pronunciation, please repeat after me
everyone: get the hang of it.
Your turn.
Alright, good. Okay, now after my
sentence here: I just can't figure out
how to use this new phone.
Very good. Yes
don't worry, you'll get the hang of it.
Alright, so please remember to use
this in your conversation and remember
this for our review next week. Okay our
bonus question everyone is another way
to say: "becoming good situation." So if you
know what the answer is, please leave it
in the comments below in our YouTube
page, the comments box; or if you don't
know the answer, of course, you can find
it in one of our previous videos that's
listed there as well, okay? Alright so
everyone, so that is it for us today.
Thank you so much for watching the video.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend and
I'll see you next time, okay? Thank you.
