Speaker 1: Hey there, it's Michael here and welcome back to Fraser
Verbs in a Minute from Happy English. I'm here every
Friday with a quick one point lesson to help you
learn a new phraseal verb and sound more natural when
you speak. By the way, if you want to see
the video version of this lesson, just look for Happy
English podcast on YouTube. Today's phraseal verb is gear up
for when you gear up for something. It means you
get ready or prepare for it mentally, physically, or with
the things you need. Like these days, a lot of
people are gearing up for their New Year's resolutions, and
the gym near my house is gearing up for the
January rush. They've even added some new machines and me, well,
I'm gearing up for a bit busy month of new
lessons and new projects. And here's a pronunciation tip. Gear
up sounds like gear up. The are in gear links
with up gear up. So how about you, what are
you gearing up for this month? Let me know in
the comments, and remember to follow or subscribe so you
won't miss the next Happy English podcast and next week's
phraseal Verbs in a Minute. Hey, thanks for listening, and
until next time, keep learning and keep it cool,
