  Hi there, this is Harry, and welcome to the podcast, and I'm very glad to be talking to you again.

• 00:06

  I hope you're all keeping well and that your families are well in these difficult times and difficult circumstances.

• 00:12

  Here I am trying to help you to understand and improve your level of English so that you can use it more in a business or in a personal context.

• 00:21

  So what do I have for you?

• 00:22

  Well, the first podcast is going to be expressions to do with the word get.

• 00:28

  Okay?

• 00:29

  So I'll give you a number of expressions, and I'll give you an example of what they mean.

• 00:34

  Okay, so let's get started.

• 00:35

  See, let's get started.

• 00:37

  So let's begin.

• 00:38

  Let's get started.

• 00:40

  First one, to get the point.

• 00:43

  So to get the point means to understand something, I get the point, meaning I understand what you mean.

• 00:51

  So somebody explains something to you.

• 00:53

  So you say, oh, yeah, I get the point, I know what you mean.

• 00:58

  Second, to get some details straight.

• 01:02

  So when somebody says to you, well, okay, before we begin, we need to get some details straight, it means we need to agree something.

• 01:11

  We need to understand exactly where you're coming from, where I'm coming from, so there won't be any misunderstandings.

• 01:19

  So let's get some details straight.

• 01:21

  Let's get some things or some points ironed out and agreed between both of us, and then we can move forward, get some details straight.
