Hello everybody, welcome back to Daily Easy English Expression podcast.

Thank you so much for downloading and listening to the podcast.

Today's podcast is brought to you by three new patrons.

Thank you so much for supporting me and the podcast and the videos, especially to the new patrons. That is Kyeonghi Kim, Felipe Begwin, and Zoe An.

Thank you so much for your contributions.

It helps a lot.

Now, today's expression is similar to an expression we studied a couple days ago.

Do you remember we studied to tinker around with something? And that means to,

you know, work on something, to try and fix something, to try and make something better. And when we say tinker around, the idea of tinker is the noise.

So we should imagine tools, like a hammer, a screwdriver, a wrench.

Well, today, we've got a similar expression, and it is to tweak something.

T-W-E-A-K.

So tinker around means moving things around, really changing something.

But to tweak something means to make a really tiny change, a very small change. So listen to the word,

tweak. It sounds tiny. So a good idea for tweaking would be to tweak a recipe. So you're cooking food and the food is good, but it's a little bit boring.

What can we do something little to change the flavor?

We could tweak the recipe by adding a spice.

Maybe cumin, which is a very hot, spicy spice.

Or, I don't know, maybe sugar.

I don't know, something to change the taste just a little bit to make it better.
