Hi, I'm Lisa.
2
In this video, you will learn 23 phrasal verbs with the verb to get.
3
This will help you understand native speakers and you'll be able to speak English with more fluency and more confidence.
4
English phrasal verbs can be so confusing and there are so many of them,
5
but they're a very important part of the English language and they're commonly used by native speakers.
6
Phrasal verbs are made up of two or more words and they change the meaning of the original verb.
7
For example, the verb to look means to see or to examine.
8
But when we add the preposition up, to look up, that means to search for information or to research.
9
Let's learn how to use some English phrasal verbs with the verb to get.
10
The verb to get can mean to receive or to obtain
11
but when it's combined with other words it can have a lot of different meanings.
12
For example, to get back at someone or to get back to someone or to get back with someone.
13
These three phrasal verbs have different meanings.
14
Or for example, to get away with someone is very different from to get away with something.
15
We will learn the meaning of these phrasal verbs plus many more.
16
First, let's look at the pronunciation rules to make sure you have a good accent when you're saying these phrasal verbs.
17
Let's look at the pronunciation of the phrasal verbs to get around and to get through.
18
When we have a vowel following the T, we say it like this.
19
Get a, get around, get around.
20
Some people call that sound a flat T or a fast D sound
21
or it may sound like an R sound of your native language.
22
Get around.
23
Get around.
24
So when we have a T between two vowels, that T changes.
25
Get around.
26
So we say get off, get into, get away.
27
But when the T is followed by another consonant, The T is not pronounced that way.
28
In that case, we hold the T.
29
We do this, get, get.
30
Don't release your tongue.
31
Don't say get.
32
So it's not get through.
33
It's like this, get through.
34
Let's say that, get through, get through, get by.
35
We don't say get by.
36
Don't release the T.
37
Hold it, get by, get by, get going, let's get going, let's get going.
38
All right, let's get started with learning some phrasal verbs with the verb to get.

Let's learn the difference between these two phrasal verbs, to get around and to get around to it.

53
It also has that meaning.
54
But how about to get around to it?

56
To finally find time to do something, we often say to get around to it when we're talking about something that we really don't want to do,
57

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
