Part 2: Watch and learn 3 ways to use 'pick up'

Today I'm going to tell you three different ways of using the phrasal verb 'pick up'

First, we use 'pick up' to describe learning something

For example, I can say: Children pick up languages very quickly

And so can you at BBC Learning English

Second, we use 'pick up' informally to describe buying something

For example: I often pick up some milk on my way home

Third, we use 'pick up' to describe getting an illness

I think I picked up a cold

So, we can pick up languages, pick up some milk, and pick up a cold
