Verbs in a minute from Happy English. I'm here every

3
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:13,480
Friday with a quick one point lesson to help you

4
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,280
learn a new phraseal verb and sound more natural when

5
00:00:17,399 --> 00:00:21,160
you speak. By the way, if you want to see

6
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,679
the video version of this lesson, just look for Happy

7
00:00:24,719 --> 00:00:31,960
English podcast on YouTube. Today's fraseal verb is brush up on.

8
00:00:32,719 --> 00:00:36,679
When you brush up on something, it means you review

9
00:00:36,719 --> 00:00:41,280
it or practice it again so you can improve. We

10
00:00:41,439 --> 00:00:46,960
usually use brush up on for skills, school subjects and knowledge.

11
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,719
For example, before my trip to Paris, I brushed up

12
00:00:51,719 --> 00:00:56,240
on my French a little, and yesterday my friend Emma

13
00:00:56,359 --> 00:00:59,759
brushed up on her EXL skills before the job in.

14
00:01:01,159 --> 00:01:03,840
If you want to brush up on your English, why

15
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:08,040
not take a lesson with me? And here's a pronunciation tip.

16
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:14,879
Brush up on sounds like brush up on, brush up on.

17
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,400
The sh of brush links with up and the p

18
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:25,000
of up links with on brush up on. That makes

19
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:29,239
it smooth and quick. So how about you. What is

20
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,400
something you want to brush up on? Maybe English, a

21
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,439
hobby or a skill you haven't used in a while.
