Meaning of DOWN PAT - A Really Short English Lesson with Subtitles

So in English, when we say that we have something down pat

it means that we know how to do it really, really well.

A great example of this would be if you are a musician,

and you are learning a new song.

When you start practicing the song,

at first, you're not very good at it.

So as you practice every day on your instrument,

eventually, you will have the song down pat.

What this means is that you know the song

really, really well,

and you are able to just do a really good job

when you play the song,

because you've practiced enough to have the song down pat.

I, myself, have the process of making daily videos down pat.

I get my microphone, I get my phone,

and I find a quiet place like this book room

where I can make the video.

So I have the process of making daily video lessons for you,

daily English lessons down pat.

It's really fun to have this down pat,

because it lets me make a video for you each and every day,

and I really hope that the phrases I'm teaching you

are helping you to get the English language down pat.

I hope someday, you get to the point

where you feel very confident and very sure of yourself

when you are speaking the English language.

I really hope that you find a way

to get the English language down pat.

Anyways, Bob the Canadian here, and you're learning English.

I hope you're having a good day.
