ESL Test. When you go to France... Wed Nov 21, 2007 10:32 am  ESL Test. When you go to France...
 

Hello,

in the following sentence, I don't get the meaning of "to talk yourself out of smth":

Yes, that's important because if you find yourself in a difficult situation, you can talk yourself out of it.

You would have said: you can get yourself out of it.

Thank you for your explanation(s).
