Guest Post #3: 14 Phrasal Verbs Expressed as GIFs – Lindsay Does Languages

If you love the Internet, chances are, you love GIFs. I’m a sucker for them. I even have a GIF keyboard app installed on my iPad to react to text message news with a simple GIF from my favourite TV shows. I know, I know, embarrassing. But it’s cool.

GIFs can also be used for learning a language. I’ve put together some GIFs for you to help you remember some common English phrasal verbs. The idea is that the simple action shown in the moving picture will trigger your memory more so than an often overly complicated explanation in other English words! I hope you enjoy these phrasal verbs expressed as GIFs.

Phrasal verbs may make you want to burst into tears when you’re learning English.

You probably don’t feel like bursting out laughing because they’re just so complicated!

via GIPHY

But you hang in there / hang on in there and keep learning them.

via GIPHY

You’re constantly looking them up in the dictionary and online…

via GIPHY

You find yourself telling friends to shut up when you’re studying…

via GIPHY

…and hanging up on your mum when she calls.

via GIPHY

Your partner just doesn’t understand. You have no choice but to break up. These phrasal verbs aren’t going to learn themselves.

via GIPHY

There’s no time to treat yourself and make over your whole look…

via GIPHY

Or to cook up a storm in the kitchen…

via GIPHY

Or to pick up your children from school.

via GIPHY

(Let’s hope they don’t get run over whilst waiting for you.)

via GIPHY

But after all this time studying phrasal verbs, you realise you’re beginning to fall in love with them.

via GIPHY

Soon, you’ll be blown away by how good your phrasal verb knowledge is.

via GIPHY

All you have to do is keep going. Don’t give up and soon you’ll be feeling like this…
