Hi guys,
Very good lesson but I was wondering what is the meaning of the phrase “pipe up with” used at the beginning of the lesson? It doesn’t appear on the new vocabulary list.
Thank you!

I just found out what “pipe up with.” It means “speak up or say something”, American slang idiom.
Thank you for this lesson, I had the chance to hear this phrase for the first time and learn it, along with the other ones.
Hope you had a wonderful weekend.

She was piping up about her boring math class
Could you give more examples?
