Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases TO COME AROUND and TO GET YOUR HEAD AROUND SOMETHING

In this English lesson I wanted to help you learn the English phrase, to come around. Now, this phrase has a lot of different meanings. I think it has five or six meanings, but I'm gonna talk about just one meaning today. When you are waiting for someone to come around, it means that you are waiting for them to think the same way as you about something. Maybe you think getting the COVID vaccine is a great idea, I do too, but maybe you have a friend who doesn't think it's a good idea and you just hope that eventually they come around to thinking it's a good idea as well. So when you are waiting for someone to come around, you're waiting for them to agree with you or to think the same way as you.

The second phrase I wanted to teach you today is the phrase, to get your head around something. When you are trying to get your head around something it means you are trying to understand it. You might notice that I'm wearing a jacket today and just a single shirt. I'm really trying to get my head around the fact that winter is probably over. I'm trying to understand and believe that spring is here, I'm just trying to get my head around it. Sometimes it takes me a while to get my head around it because I'm always worried that it's gonna really snow hard and get really cold next week. Spring is kind of weird, March is a weird month that can happen but definitely I'm just trying to get my head around the fact that spring is here. I'm trying to believe that it's here, I'm trying to understand that it is spring.

So to review, when you are waiting for someone to come around to your point of view, when you're waiting for someone to come around, it simply means that you're waiting for them to think the same way as you do about something. And then when you are trying to get your head around something, it simply means you're trying to understand it or believe it.

But hey let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from Vito, and Vito says and he wrote a little like a play here starring Bob and the cat. Vito says, "Bob, if I give you a sardine later, can you run by on the video?" And the cat replies, "That's fine with me." Maggie gives a couple of smiley faces and my response was this. "That's how it goes, ha ha. "I bribe the animals to make appearances "so the lesson is more interesting." I was laughing at that one Vito, thanks for that comment Vito. Yeah, it did make me laugh and it made me smile.

I don't know why sometimes the animals appear and why sometimes they don't. I do know this, if I make my video later in the day and if it's close to the time when Jen normally feeds Oscar and feeds the cats, if I make the video around four o'clock, I think sometimes the cats think I'm Jen or they think I'm going to give them some cat food. And I'm not the one that feeds them, that's not my job.
