 Welcome to English at the Movies, where we teach you American English heard at the movies. Today's phrase is Clean Slate from the Peanuts Movie. Let's take a look. Hey kid moving in! I just hope this new kid has never heard of me. It's not often you get the opportunity to start over with a clean slate. This time, things will be different. So, what does that mean?

It's not often you get the opportunity to start over with a clean slate. This time, things will be different. Clean slate is a new beginning. It means you are starting over, starting fresh.
