Podcasts about language learning

Send us a textIn this heartfelt and globally enriched conversation, Joey Pinz sits down with storyteller, journalist, and events leader Kris Tanaka, whose life has been shaped by language, culture, and a deep commitment to human connection. Kris shares her remarkable journey studying Japanese from childhood, living a decade in Japan, and learning how language influences behavior, relationships, and even emotional expression.Together, they explore the nuances of communication, the cultural layers behind expressions that don't translate, and how travel expands empathy and perspective. Kris also speaks about her Hawaiian roots, the concept of ohana, and how growing up in a cultural melting pot shaped her worldview.In her role at CyberRisk Alliance, Kris explains why MSSP Alert Live succeeds: participation, purposeful networking, and the magic of spontaneous connections. She discusses what makes events thrive, how to maximize value from industry conferences, and why cybersecurity professionals inspire her daily.The conversation also dives into personal growth—pivoting careers, overcoming fear of change, redefining success, finding inspiration in everyday “magic,” and the emotional impact of helping others shine.

We explore the growing fear that AI and instant translation tools make language learning unnecessary, and we explain why that mindset misses the point. From real-life cultural misunderstandings and gestures to sarcasm, tone, and relationship-building, we share examples that show what technology simply can't teach. You'll walk away with a clearer idea of how to use AI as a powerful learning tool—without losing the deeper goal of language learning: connecting with real people and cultures.Key Takeaways:Why AI translation is useful but cannot replace real human connectionHow cultural context, gestures, and tone play a huge role in communicationThe best ways to use AI to support your language learning without relying on it completelyRelevant Links And Additional Resources:148 – Mejora Tu Español Usando Inteligencia Artificial | Improve Your Spanish Using Artificial Intelligence239 – Mejora tu Español Usando Inteligencia Artificial Parte 2 | Improve your Spanish Using AI Part 2Level up your Spanish with our Podcast MembershipGet the full transcript of each episode so you don't miss a wordListen to an extended breakdown section in English going over the most important words and phrasesTest your comprehension with a multiple choice quizSupport the show

When N + T comes between two vowel sounds, the T often disappears or becomes a soft flap - something like a quick D sound.winter sounds like winnertwenty sounds like twennyplenty sounds like plennyFor example:“I don't like winter weather.” sounds like  “I don't like winner weather.”“We invited twenty people.” sounds like  “We invited twenny people.”This isn't slang - it's just the natural rhythm of American English.Hey, thanks for listening!

And if you want to watch this lesson, just look for Happy English Podcast on YouTube.Today, let's look at a really useful conversational phrase — “it turns out (that).”We use it turns out to mean actually or in fact, especially when the result is surprising or different from what we expected.Like, I left the house in a hurry, and it turns out I forgot my wallet.Or when talking about relationships: They dated for a while, but it turns out they weren't compatible.We also use this phrase when we discover new information: I did some research, and it turns out my grandfather was a taxi driver for a while.So remember, when something ends up being different than you expected, try using “it turns out…” It's a very natural way to tell that kind of story in English.Lemme know in the comments how it goes, and remember to follow or subscribe so you don't miss the next Happy English Podcast and next week's English Tips in a Minute.

Do you ever feel like English has too many ways to say the same thing? Maybe you've wondered why English has have to, must, need to, and be supposed to, when they all seem to mean something like “I should do this.” Like, “I have to work late.” “I must finish this.” “I need to call her.” “I'm supposed to send the email.”Today, we'll look at four very common ways to talk about obligation, rules, and expectations - and you'll hear how each one sounds a little different, even though they're all connected to “things we should do.”Watch video versions of the Happy English Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HappyEnglishNY/podcastsBuild Vocabulary With My Free Vocabulary Workshop: https://learn.myhappyenglish.com/vocabulary-workshop-signup

Do you have this problem? When you talk about habits in English, you might use the same grammar again and again?  Things like, “I eat breakfast at 7,” or “I go to bed late,” or “I work on Saturdays.” Those sentences are correct - no problem there. But if you always talk about habits that way, your English can start to sound a little flat or mechanical. The good news is, native speakers actually use several different expressions to talk about habits, depending on how strong the habit is, how they feel about it, or whether it's something now or from the past. Today, we're going to look at four very common and very natural ways native speakers talk about habits in everyday conversation. And as we go, I'll show you how each one sounds a little different, even though they're all talking about repeated actions. Let's dive in.Do you want to learn more phrasal verbs?

Hey there! It's Michael here - and welcome back to Speak Naturally in a Minute from Happy English. I'm here every Sunday with a quick one-point lesson to help you improve your pronunciation, rhythm, and intonation. And if you want to watch this lesson, just look for Happy English Podcast on YouTube.Since this is the first lesson of this series in the new year, let's try something different today. Now, I want to practice with you. Today's tip is shadowing - one of the fastest ways to improve your American English pronunciation. Shadowing means listening to a native speaker and copying them at the same time - kinda like singing along, but with speaking. We'll try it right now. I'll say a sentence twice. First, just listen. Then the second time, shadow me - speak with me at the same time. Ready? Here we go.Sentence 1 - reduction + linking: “I'm tryin' uh learn more English.”(Again for shadowing:) “I'm tryin' uh learn more English.”Sentence 2 - tiny W: “Doowit again.”(Shadow:) “Doowit again.”Sentence 3 - connected speech: “Whaddaya wanna do today?”(Shadow:) “Whaddaya wanna do today?”Shadowing helps you pick up natural reductions, linking, and rhythm without memorizing rules. Just copy the sound - your mouth will learn the pattern.Hey, thanks for practicing with me today!

Have you ever found yourself using “I think” a little too much when giving your opinion? Like, “I think that's a good idea,” “I think we should try it,” “I think he's right.” It's a good expression - clear and direct - but maybe… a little too common?

I'm here every Sunday with a quick one-point lesson to help you improve your pronunciation, rhythm, and intonation.  And if you want to watch this lesson, just look for Happy English Podcast on YouTube.Now, in everyday spoken American English, when a word ends with an “ee” sound and the next word starts with a vowel sound, we often connect those sounds with a very small, quick Y sound.I call this the tiny Y.Like, see it. We don't stop the sound, and in one breath we say, see-yit. It's not see. it. It's see-yit. Like, That movie? I'm gonna see-yit tomorrow. Did you hear the tiny y? I'm gonna see-yit tomorrow. Here are some other examples:  She is sounds like she-yiz. She-yiz the boss.We are sounds like we-yar. We-yar happy to see you!Many apples  sounds like meni-yapples. There are meni-yapples on the table.This tiny Y keeps the flow smooth and natural.

Today's phrasal verb is luck out. When you luck out, it means you have really good luck - usually by chance. Something goes much better than you expected, and you didn't have to do anything special. It just happened.For example, this morning I lucked out and found a parking spot right in front of the station.And my friend Jake lucked out last week - he got the last two tickets to a concert that had been sold out for days.And yesterday, I lucked out at the supermarket… strawberries were half price!Here's a pronunciation tip: luck out sounds like luk-kout.

Have you ever gone somewhere… and then realized you should've been somewhere else? Or maybe you went somewhere, and now you're trying to explain that… but the grammar just won't come out right.

We walk you through why letters like ch, ll, and even rr used to appear in the Spanish alphabet—and why they were eventually removed. We explain the role of the Real Academia Española and the network of language academies that oversee updates to Spanish, including the move to classify these as dígrafos rather than independent letters. You'll also hear how pronunciation, regional differences, and even the renaming of the letter y impact learners today. Whether you've been speaking Spanish for decades or you're just getting started, this episode will help you understand the modern 27-letter alphabet and avoid common pronunciation mistakes.Key Takeaways:Why ch, ll, and rr are no longer part of the Spanish alphabetHow the RAE and the Association of Academies make decisions about the languageThe importance of correct alphabet pronunciation for clearer, more confident Spanish speakingRelevant Links And Additional Resources:How To Say The Alphabet In Spanish [Blog Post]Level up your Spanish with our Podcast MembershipGet the full transcript of each episode so you don't miss a wordListen to an extended breakdown section in English going over the most important words and phrasesTest your comprehension with a multiple choice quizSupport the show

The FDA belatedly liberates women's hormone replacement; Beta-blockers now deemed passé for routine heart attack aftercare; After most breast cancer surgery, adjuvant radiation brings no survival benefits; Can you drink caffeinated coffee if you have atrial fibrillation?

Hey there! It's Michael here - and welcome back to English Tips in a Minute from Happy English. I'm here every Saturday with a short, simple tip to help you speak English more naturally and confidently.And if you want to watch this lesson, just look for Happy English Michael on YouTube.Today, let's look at a really common phrase you'll hear in everyday English - “Does that make sense?”We use does that make sense? to check if the other person understands what we just explained. It's a more natural and friendly way to say “Do you understand?” - which can sometimes sound a little too direct.For example, if you're giving directions, you could say: “Go straight two blocks, turn right at the light, and the café's on the left. Does that make sense?”Or, if you're helping a coworker with a report, you might say: “So, we'll send this out by Friday, and then follow up next week. Does that make sense?”It's polite, warm, and shows you care that the other person understood you. So next time you're explaining something, try ending with a friendly “Does that make sense?” - just to make sure!And hey, does that make sense to join me again next time for another podcast English lesson?

Hey there! It's Michael here - and welcome back to Phrasal Verbs in a Minute from Happy English.I'm here every Friday with a quick one-point lesson to help you learn a new phrasal verb and sound more natural when you speak. And if you want to watch this lesson just look for Happy English Michael on YouTube.Today's phrasal verb is rattle off.  When you rattle something off, it means you say or list things quickly and easily - usually without stopping to think much. It's like when someone just fires off information from memory.Like, my friend Lisa is amazing with dates. You can ask her about any historical event, and she'll rattle off the exact year it happened.And my coworker Tom can rattle off ten phrasal verbs in thirty seconds - no problem at all.Here's a pronunciation tip: rattle off - ra-dl-off. The T sound of rattle  is a flap T sound, and the  L sound of links with off, so it sounds like ra-dloff.So how about you? Is there something you can rattle off - maybe song lyrics, movie quotes, or English phrasal verbs?Lemme know in the comments, and remember to follow or subscribe so you don't miss the next Happy English Podcast and next week's Phrasal Verb Friday.  Hey, thanks for listening - and until next time, keep learning and keep it cool.Watch the video version of this Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/happyenglishnyBuild Vocabulary With My Free Vocabulary Workshop: https://learn.myhappyenglish.com/vocabulary-workshop-signup

These verbs show up everywhere - but the tricky part is knowing when to use which one. So today, we'll go over the core difference between make and do, and I'll give you lots of real-life examples along the way.
