Is it me missed meaning of “get off on the right foot” expression from question 5, or it’s not mentioned in the video on purpose, to figure it out by yourself? Because its meaning in that context is no really obvious…
Hi Hantera,
I’m sorry about that. That was my mistake. It was an extra expression for another video and somehow got into this quiz.
To ‘get off on the right foot’ means to have a good first meeting. To ‘get off on the wrong foot’, means to have a bad first meeting.
I hope this helps.
Oh, no problem, was just curious, thank you for clarification.
Adam, good day! Your lessons are very practical. Thank you for that.
Difficult times happen. Don’t be sad. It will pass.
In a way, I’m glad to be retired now because it seems like the working world is getting harder and harder. Thank you Adam.
