Don't Be Shy About Using 'Get Over' In Your Speech!

Jenna and Max are at a cozy café when suddenly Max gets an email.

Max (staring at his phone, confused):
Hey, Jenna, this guy I’m working with just said, “Give me a shout.” What does that even mean?

Jenna (stirring her coffee):
It just means to contact him.

Max (frowning):
Wait… but “shout” means to yell. So, does he want me to yell his name?

Jenna (laughs):
No, no! He’s not asking you to actually shout. It just means to message him, call him—basically, let him know when you need something.

Max (nodding slowly):
Okay… so, if I say “I’ll give you a shout,” it means I’ll call you?

Jenna (approving):
Exactly! Or text, or email—whatever works.

Max (thinking hard):
Hmm… but what if I really do shout your name? Like—HEY, JENNA!

[SFX: Café customers turning to stare]

Jenna (covering her face, whispering):
Okay, maybe don’t do that in public…

Max (grinning):
Got it. So, if I’m stuck on my project later, I can just say, “Jenna, I’ll give you a shout?”

Jenna (thumbs up):
Now you’re getting it!

Max (pauses, tilting head):
Wait… I have to ask—how do you know all these phrases so well? It’s like English just clicks for you.

Jenna (shrugging, playfully):
Well, let’s just say I found the cheat code.

Max (leaning in, curious):
Cheat code? What, like a secret trick?

Jenna (grinning):
Kinda! I trained with English Teacher Smith on iTalki. It wasn’t just lessons—it was real conversation, real corrections, and now, boom! English feels natural.

Max (raising an eyebrow, impressed):
That actually sounds pretty smart.

Jenna (pulls out phone, taps screen):
Here, see? Just click the profile, book a speaking lesson, and you’ll be talking like a pro in no time.

Max (smirking, clicking on phone):
Alright… I’ll give Teacher Smith a shout then.

Practicando la expresión de la causa y conociendo Las ruinas mayas Xcambó

こんばんは！Atsushiです。
今日の北海道の天気はずっと雨でした。
気温は14℃です。

今日も慣用句シリーズを話そうと思います。
個人的には結構気に入ってます。

日本語には、体の部位を使った表現がたくさんありますね。
今日は腕うで、の慣用句を話します。
腕は人の技術、スキルを表現することが多いので、そういった意味の慣用句が多いです。

①腕が鳴る (うでがなる)
技能(スキル)や力を発揮したくて、じっとしていられないことを言います。ウズウズしている感じですね。
例えば、
ー明日はピアノの発表だけど、今から腕が鳴る
ーラテを作れるなんて、腕が鳴る
とか使いますね。

② 腕を振るう(うでをふるう)
自分の腕前・技能を人に見せる。披露する時に使います。
例えば、
ー得意料理に腕を振るう
ーバーベキューの仕込みに腕を振るう
とか使います。
　他のことにも使えますが、私のイメージでは、料理に使うことが多いと思います。

③ 腕を磨く(うでをみがく)
技能(スキル)が上手になるように訓練、練習する時に使います。
ー彼は地道に腕を磨いてきた。だから今はトッププレイヤーになった。
ー3年前に海外へ行き、バレエの腕を磨いてきた。
などと使います。


はい、ということで、今日は腕を使った慣用句3つ、紹介しました。日常会話で使う、というよりも、本やニュース、Webサイトの記事などで見ることが多いかもしれません。

たくさんあるのでおもしろいですね！
今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！
