Use it when talking about getting used to a new job, school, home, hot weather, spicy food, waking up early, noise, someone’s personality, or any repeated situation. It is natural in everyday conversations about life, travel, study, and work.

ชิน does not mean “be good at” something. It means being used to it. For ability or skill, use words such as เก่ง or ทำได้ดี. Also, the natural pattern is usually ชินกับ... for “be used to ...”.
