Speaker 1: Hey there, it's Michael here and welcome to the very
first Happy English Friday frasal Verb. Starting today, I'll be
here every Friday with a quick one point English lesson
to help you learn one new phrasal verb and sound
more natural when you speak. Today's frasal verb is toy with.
When you toy with something, it means you're considering it,
but not very seriously. It's like you're playing with the
idea maybe yes, maybe no, but you're not one hundred
percent committed. And we usually use the phrase toy with
the idea of followed by a gerrand, like my friend
Alex has been toying with the idea of moving to Chicago,
but he hasn't started packing boxes yet. And last week
Jessica said she was toying with the idea of starting
her own bakery, but right now it's just an idea.
And me, well, I've been toying with the idea of
getting a new guitar, although I should probably sell one
of the old ones first. So how about you. Are
you toying with any ideas these days? Leave a comment
below at Myhappy English dot com or come tell me
on Instagram at Happy English and why, and don't forget
to follow or subscribe so you don't miss the next
Happy English podcast and next week's Friday phrasal Verb. Thanks
for listening, and until next time, keep learning and keep
it cool.
