Imagine an older relative just got their first smartphone. What advice would you give them to get started?

A natural way to answer

My main advice would be to learn one thing at a time. Start with calling and texting, then move on to the camera and the internet. I would also suggest writing down the steps until they feel comfortable.

Key phrases to use

• play around with it — to experiment with something casually to learn how it works“Just play around with the settings until it looks right.”
• take it one step at a time — to do something slowly and gradually rather than all at once“Learning a language is hard, so take it one step at a time.”
