Description
Hey there! It’s Michael here, and welcome back to Phrasal Verbs in a Minute from Happy English.
I’m here every Friday with a quick one-point lesson to help you learn a new phrasal 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 phrasal verb is brush up on.  When you brush up on something, it means you review it or practice it again so you can improve. We usually use brush up on for skills, subjects, and knowledge.
  • For example, before my trip to Paris, I brushed up on my French a little.
  • And yesterday, my friend Emma brushed up on her Excel skills before her job interview.
  • If you want to brush up on your English, why not take a lesson with me!

And here’s a pronunciation tip: brush up on sounds like bruh-shuh-pon. The SH of brush links with UP, and the P of UP links with ON bruh-shuh-pon That makes it smooth and quick.

So how about you? What’s something you want to brush up on? Maybe English, a hobby, or a skill you haven’t used in a while? Let me know in the comments, and remember to follow or subscribe so you don’t miss the next Happy English Podcast and next week’s Phrasal Verbs in a Minute.  Hey, thanks for listening. And until next time, keep learning and keep it cool.
