Get Your Feet Wet

Get Your Feet Wet

= to get a little first time experience doing something

(Imagine a cold or hot pool.  Instead of jumping straight in, you dip your feet to get a better feeling of the temperature, and after you might jump in.)

Ex:  Before you start the new job, do a little training to “get your feet wet.”

Ex:  The food is extremely spicy, so “get your feet wet” by trying a little bite at first.
