Today in class I used this idiomatic expression, which in English means ‘to get the knack of something’.

You may hear things like:

• “Una vez que le agarres la mano, vas a ver que conjugar con VOS es muy fácil.”
• “Todavía no le agarré la mano a los verbos irregulares, pero estoy en eso.”
• “Tenés que agarrarle la mano a las reglas de acentuación para evitar errores de ortografía.”

Short and sweet, there you have it. More AR Spanish idioms coming soon!

Happy Spanish learning,
