Lucky me! I've been studying English, so I needed channels like podcasts with subtitles. Someone on another channel mentioned studying with your channel, so I visited yours, it's been really helpful! Your speaking speed suits me perfectly. Other channels speak too quickly for me to understand, but yours is easy to follow. Also do you live in Korea? I'm Korean. Nice to meet you!
Get a little bit confused, the definition of "chip away at" is making something less effective according to the Longmen dictionary. Maybe using tinkering to run below 3 hours is much better?
Great question! "Chip away at" means to gradually make something smaller or weaker (dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/chip-away-at). In my case, as I try to break my marathon record, "chip away at" is a more suitable choice than "tinker" because it communicates my goal of steadily reducing my marathon time. Using "tinker" would suggest that I am experimenting with small adjustments in my training methods, shoes, strategy, or something like that. Hope this helps!
No worries if the video stops at 18:00, it will continue a few seconds later! Thanks for your time Andrew, I'm catching up with the videos ;)
