In this lesson, I answer a question I got from a channel member, Nori from Hungary. She was wondering how to use the English phrasal verb, "belt out." We mostly use belt out when we talk about singing a song. I also go over several other ways we use the word, belt. There is a mini lesson about the English idiom, "A Dime A Dozen" at the end of the video if you are interested.
