You can “follow the leader,” “follow the pack,” or “follow your instincts.” But if none of those expressions make any sense to you, how about beginning with this one?

FOLLOW (= understand) 理解する
- To follow what someone is saying is to understand it.
- follow とは、人が言っていることを理解する、という意味です。

- Would you mind speaking more slowly? I'm having trouble following you.
- (students, after Mr. Hanson's science class)
a: I wasn't able to follow Mr. Hanson's explanation of ozone depletion at all.
b: It was difficult for me to follow, too. - (watching a foreign language film)
Can you follow what they're saying without reading the subtitles?
See you tomorrow!
