Friday with a quick one point lesson to help you

4
00:00:14,119 --> 00:00:17,320
learn a new phraseal verb and sound more natural when

5
00:00:17,359 --> 00:00:20,559
you speak. By the way, if you want to see

6
00:00:20,559 --> 00:00:23,920
the video version of this lesson, just look for Happy

00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:30,199
English podcast on YouTube. Today's phraseal verb is gear up

8
00:00:30,399 --> 00:00:34,399
for when you gear up for something. It means you

9
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:40,920
get ready or prepare for it mentally, physically, or with

10
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,880
the things you need. Like these days, a lot of

11
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:49,200
people are gearing up for their New Year's resolutions, and

12
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,200
the gym near my house is gearing up for the

13
00:00:52,359 --> 00:00:58,119
January rush. They've even added some new machines and me, well,

14
00:00:58,439 --> 00:01:01,119
I'm gearing up for a bit busy month of new

15
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:06,159

16
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:12,319
up sounds like gear up. The are in gear links

17
00:01:12,359 --> 00:01:17,200
