Hello, everybody. Welcome back to daily Easy English Expressions.
The Podcast. Today's expression is fantastic.
It's a phrasal verb.
It is to brush up on something to brush up on something brush brush up up on on on yeah it's a three -word verb this is a nice phrasal verb to brush up on something means to review something it means to study again it means to refresh your memory.
This is the idea to brush up on something.
So for example, in high school, in middle school, in high school, you studied English and then for 10 years, for 20 years, for 30 years, you didn't study anything.
In high school you pretty good but then you stopped but now suddenly you realize hey I would like to get back to my old level of English I want to brush up on my English I need to brush up on my English so not only something that you learn but also a skill.
That's right. Now, when I lived in Korea, I lived in Korea for a long time.
I didn't have an oven for many, many, many, many years.
So, I wasn't able to bake.
Now that I'm back in America, everybody has an oven and it's very easy to bake.
So, I I need to brush up on my baking.
Before I lived in Korea I could bake.
I wasn't a master's chef but I was okay.
And then I went to Korea and I lost my skill.
I kind of lost my ability.
I forgot a lot. And now that I'm back I need to brush up on it.
I need to bring it back.
I need to go back to that old level and maybe even get better.
Check out the dialogue.
What you reading? The creators.
History stuff? Yeah, I'm brushing up on some history for my class.
Perfect example. In DDM, fantastic class, this is one of the classes that I teach.
DDM, it's about dictation.
In DDM sometimes we talk about history, you know, something that happened a long time ago in America.
or maybe even in your country and When I was younger, I used to read a lot of history.
I loved history It was one of my favorite subjects, but to be honest these days.
I don't read that much Especially about history so when I do have a class that talks about history.
I know about the subject a little bit, I remember that I used to know a lot about the subject, so what do I do?
I go to my books, and I brush up on my history.
It's a great expression.
