Phrasal verbs - How to learn them ?

Vote now!
Hey,

I would like to know , how often do you use phrasal verbs in your spoken English ?

I try to learn them , but it is  terrible for me .

Are there any differency betwin  these sentences :

I tried to get out of the whole thing    .    I tried to avoid the whole thing ?

And Do you English people have to learn phrasl verbs ? Or Do you know them  - from birthday ?

Best wishes

Hi,

Phrasal verbs are a problem.

I'm learning English too and I use tv-shows and movies to train myself.

It seems that people use a lot of phrasal verbs in spoken English.

Writen English is more formal and easier to understand, and you can read a sentence three times if you need to...

It would be great if we could find a list of the mostly used phrasal verbs here, in a topic, on Polyglot.

Maybe it has already been done, somewhere on this website.

Let me know how many mistakes I have made in this post.
