learn the ropes Meaning If you learn the ropes, you learn how to do a job properly, or how things work and how to get things done. For example Ruth will teach you what to do, and it shouldnt take you too long to learn the ropes. It can take quite a while for a new lawyer to learn the ropes in a big legal firm. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ #Idiom_of_the_Day @EnglishoftheDay 6.1K views05:03
