809 - Let’s Start From The Top

Michael DiGiacomo Happy English
About this episode
In the middle of recording this podcast, I realized that the microphone wasn’t plugged in. Aye yai yai! So I had to go back to the top and start again. That’s what happens with modern technology, sometimes things go smooth and sometimes, well, it’s back to the drawing board. 

For today's podcast English lesson, let's look at some idioms and phrases that we use to talk about doing something again from the beginning. We'll start from scratch!
