Let's try to think about the meaning of this idiom.

Alright, so let's imagine you have one thought, okay?

Your thought is, 'I want to go skydiving.'

Okay, so here's thought 1, 'Let's go skydiving.'

And you go to the plane and you go up in   the air and then, you have a second thought:

I’m having second thoughts about going to yoga class.

Okay, so maybe they wanted to go to yoga class, but it's very early, so maybe they're not sure anymore.

Okay, let's listen to the second example.

Are you still going grocery shopping this afternoon?

Well, I’m having second thoughts about going. It looks like it's gonna rain, so I think I’ll just use leftovers.

Okay, so she planned to go to the grocery   store, was the first plan, first thought.

And second thought is, 'Ah, it's raining. I'll use food that I cooked yesterday, leftovers.'

Okay, so having second thoughts means maybe you're doubting, you're doubting the plan or you're doubting the first idea.

So, you're not sure if you want to continue with your first   thought, you think you might be changing your mind, okay?

So, next time you have a second thought and you're   not sure about something, let's try using this idiom.

Yeah, I hope you're not having second thoughts about studying English.
