   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.

   I found a title article with “pipe up with”

   Danes pipe up with their own North Pole claims/ Danes speak up and say something about their North Pole claims
