An English Lesson about Starting Again

BOB THE CANADIAN
About this episode

In this English lesson I will help you learn 10 phrases that you can use to describe starting again. We all take breaks in life for one reason or another, but at some point we resume what we were doing.

Maybe you took a break from studying English, or stopped playing a sport because of an injury. Maybe you took some time off work.

When you return to what you were doing before, these are the common English phrases you would use.

In this English lesson you'll learn the phrases: back at it, back on track, back in the swing of things, back in the groove, pick up where you left off, ease back into it, get into a rhythm, back in action, back to business, and make a comeback.

Note: This is the audio portion of a Youtube English lesson which you can watch right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-0YV6i_wyw or by searching Youtube for, "Bob the Canadian Starting Again"
