    1. «zero in on» since you can't "improve" a problem but you can work on fixing it 2. «brush up» to improve and be ready to hold a conversation in German 3. «ask around» to find out who the new guy is

    thanks for video, it's really help to improving English language(take task translate whole book English to English(simplified),some word on my own for creating associative memory,really good advice translate book, it takes 1 year), understand how to learn foreign languages, watching since 2013, my teacher English gave me address of website engvid, and after that i start learn in my own way, well the answer: 1. The company needs to 'zero in on' the problem if we want to stop losing money. 2. I am traveling with Martina to Germany. I need to 'brush up' on my Germany. 3. Who's the new guy? I don't know. I'll 'ask around'. And the last one, lessons really positive always get me to excellent mood.

    For someone who is supposed to be smart, you clearly don't know that the English language doesn't have any set rules. And any rules that it does have get contradicted
