    714 - Ability and Possibility

    When I was younger I could play the piano a lot better than I can now. You know? I'm glad I was able to tell you that. Knowing modal verbs like can and be able to is not only important for your everyday English conversation, but using this grammar correctly will give you an edge in English exams like IELTS, TOEFL, and TOEIC.

    713 - Day to Day English

    Day in and day out, I try to come up with topics to talk about here on the Happy English podcast. Most of my ideas come from questions or problems my students have.

Today, let’s look as 10 idioms and expressions that relate to time and day.

Like their cousins, tag questions, negative questions are often used to check what we think is true. Let’s go!

    710 - The Tiny W

    American English pronunciation is interesting. A lot of English learners tell me that Americans talk to quickly. But I would say it’s more the style of speaking than the speed. One interesting feature of spoken American English is the fact that We. Do. Not. Like. To. Stop. After. Each. Word. In. A. Sentence. Quite often, the end of one word links with the beginning of the next word. For this English lesson, we’re going look at one particular sound that happens when one word ends with a vowel sound, and the next word begins with a vowel sound.

The awesome "Happy English Podcast"

I have been listening to Michael's podcast for more than two years, and it's the best way to learn the tricky English spoken in The United States.

I'm trying to improve my English every day, and this is one of the resources of learning that I typically use.

Thanks, Michael.

Michael is the best teacher

Best English teacher!

I explored a handful of English podcasts and Michael is the best. I like his idea to focus on phrases to be sounded more natural. I hope you find it helpful as much as I do!
