00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: Hey there, it's Michael here and welcome to the very

2
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:11,720
first Happy English Friday frasal Verb. Starting today, I'll be

3
00:00:11,839 --> 00:00:16,160
here every Friday with a quick one point English lesson

4
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,079
to help you learn one new phrasal verb and sound

5
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:26,039
more natural when you speak. Today's frasal verb is toy with.

6
00:00:26,879 --> 00:00:31,239
When you toy with something, it means you're considering it,

7
00:00:31,679 --> 00:00:36,119
but not very seriously. It's like you're playing with the

8
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:41,359
idea maybe yes, maybe no, but you're not one hundred

9
00:00:41,399 --> 00:00:46,600
percent committed. And we usually use the phrase toy with

10
00:00:46,799 --> 00:00:52,240
the idea of followed by a gerrand, like my friend

11
00:00:52,399 --> 00:00:57,240
Alex has been toying with the idea of moving to Chicago,

12
00:00:57,759 --> 00:01:03,119
but he hasn't started packing boxes yet. And last week

13
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,680
Jessica said she was toying with the idea of starting

14
00:01:07,719 --> 00:01:12,079
her own bakery, but right now it's just an idea.

15
00:01:12,599 --> 00:01:16,239
And me, well, I've been toying with the idea of

16
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:20,920
getting a new guitar, although I should probably sell one

17
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,840
of the old ones first. So how about you. Are

18
00:01:24,879 --> 00:01:28,719
