find one’s feet

zorientovat se, rozkoukat se

It is fair to say that both of them deserve time to settle: in the past I got it wrong and I was fortunate to get three years in which to find my feet.

At fifteen years old I started my drama course and I couldn't have been happier. It obviously took a while to find my feet with the group but when I had done I really started to enjoy myself.

I had recently stayed with him in Scotland : knowing him was a help, for I felt out of my milieu. Lord Airlie also went out of his way to help me find my feet.
