Learn the Ropes
To learn how to do a job or task; to become familiar with the basic steps and rules.
Examples
- I'll be shadowing Jenna this week to learn the ropes before I take over her accounts.
- It took the whole weekend to learn the ropes with the new coffee maker, but now my mornings are saved.
- Still learning the ropes at the new gym, but the coach is patient and I'm getting more confident.
