Get the hang of it

To get the hang of something is to learn how to do it, especially by practicing. Sometimes, I think I'm getting the hang of teaching! As an adult, it's difficult to remember just how much practice was needed to learn things that now seem natural, like riding a bike, cooking, or driving a car. Getting the hang of something takes time, patience, repetition, and real desire to learn. Many people believe that artists are simply talented, but I think that artists practice a lot to get the hang of using the methods they need to create their art. The same is true with writing: you have to get the hang of it! Part of learning English is getting the hang of learning it. I mean that by practicing, you learn the best way to learn. Also, you get the hang of how different grammar structures work, or how to use new vocabulary. The main thing is to be patient with yourself, don't worry too much when you make mistakes, and keep practicing!
