to adjust to a new situation or routine · to become comfortable with how things work
When you travel, especially to a new country or city, it often takes a few days to adjust to the local customs, time zone, or daily rhythm. This expression perfectly describes that process of becoming comfortable and familiar!
💡 **Pro Tip!** This expression is often used in positive contexts, implying that you *will* get comfortable, even if it feels a bit awkward at first. You might hear it said as encouragement or when someone is finally settling in. For instance, 'It took me a week to get into the swing of things in Tokyo, but now I love it!'
When would you most appropriately use 'get into the swing of things' in a travel context? A. When you're buying plane tickets for your next vacation. B. When you've just arrived in a new country and are feeling overwhelmed by the differences. C. When you've spent a few days in a new city and are now comfortable navigating and enjoying local life.
