They didn't even say thank you.  Not “they didn't say thank you.” They didn't even say thank you. So… what's the deal with even in negative sentences?In Episode 880, we looked at how to use even in general - like for comparisons and emphasis. But today, we're going to zoom in on something more specific… and honestly, something really common - using even in negative sentences.Join my Podcast Learner's Study Group here: https://learn.myhappyenglish.com/plsgVisit my website for over 3,000 free English lessons: https://www.myhappyenglish.com/My AI English Tutor is HERE 

It was very cool this morning. Like around 11 degrees celsius. When I took Max for a walk I was actually surprised it was so cool. Like, there's a nip in the air kinda cool. Boy, I'm hoping this coming winter isn't too cold. Let's see how it goes.These three little words - too, very, and so - all come before adjectives, and they all talk about how much of something there is. Like, how hot, how tall, how tired… but the feeling and intention behind each word is a little different. So today, we're going to break it all down with real examples, and I'll show you exactly how to use them naturally. Join my Podcast Learner's Study Group here: https://learn.myhappyenglish.com/plsgVisit my website for over 3,000 free English lessons: https://www.myhappyenglish.com/My AI English Tutor is HERE 

I'm so hungry. No time for lunch today. No wonder my stomach is grumbling. That's why i decided to order a double cheeseburger and some fries...at the diner. Because is a great word - and it's totally correct. But when it comes to speaking naturally, we often don't use because directly. Instead, we give the reason in a more casual, fluent way. So today, I'll show you how native English speakers give reasons in conversation - without actually saying because. Join my Podcast Learner's Study Group here: https://learn.myhappyenglish.com/plsgVisit my website for over 3,000 free English lessons: https://www.myhappyenglish.com/My AI English Tutor is HERE 

Send us a textThis conversation delves into the foundations of a significant spiritual movement, focusing on the personal struggles and radical preparations of a key figure, I.C. The discussion highlights the importance of overcoming prejudice, the necessity of cultural immersion, and the strategic outreach efforts that led to the establishment of disciple-making movements among unreached people groups.TakeawaysThe urgency for disciple-making movements is rooted in a global vision.Every people group needs to hear the gospel, not just the already reached.I.C.'s initial view was limited by cultural and personal pain.Radical obedience is essential for overcoming deep-seated prejudices.Language learning was a critical step in building bridges.Cultural immersion shattered I.C.'s assumptions about the nearby tribe.Strategic outreach can be more effective in urban settings.Indigenous leadership is key for sustainable ministry.Personal barriers often define the limits of effectiveness in mission.Confronting historical pain can lead to fruitful purpose.

Now, when you want to ask why in English, sure, you can just say “why.” But in everyday conversation, native speakers often use a more casual phrase: “How come?” “How come” means the same as “why,” but it sounds softer, friendlier, and very conversational. And, it's easy to use. You can use it by itself!  Like, your friend says, “I'm skipping lunch today.” You can ask, “How come?” Or your coworker says, “I can't make it to the meeting.” You can ask, “Oh really? How come?”You can also put how come in front of any sentence to make a casual question. Like, if your friend never comes to the karaoke party, you can ask, How come you don't like karaoke? Or if a coworker comes to the office late, you can ask, How come you came late this morning. How come. It's short, casual, and super natural. So next time, instead of just “why,” try saying “How come?”Join my Podcast Learner's Study Group here: https://learn.myhappyenglish.com/plsgVisit my website for over 3,000 free English lessons: https://www.myhappyenglish.com/My AI English Tutor is HERE 

We often use a negative question like “Isn't this…?” or “Aren't you…?” in conversation. Technically, these are not questions for asking something. They are a casual and friendly way to confirm something or make a suggestion.For example, if you and your friend are at the peir on a sunny day, you might say:   “Isn't this a perfect day for fishing?”  You're not really asking for information — you're confirming what you already think. OR "Aren't these donuts delicious!”Or if you're making a suggestion, you can use the same pattern. Like:  “It's almost 5pm. Isn't it better to take the subway?”  Here, you're giving your suggestion in the form of a question. Here's another one. “The exam is a week away. Shouldn't you start studying?”So remember, negative questions like “Isn't it…?” and “Aren't you…?” are great for confirming ideas or suggesting something in a very natural, conversational way. “Isn't that interesting!” So, aren't you gonna try to use this kind of English in your conversations?Join my Podcast Learner's Study Group here: https://learn.myhappyenglish.com/plsgVisit my website for over 3,000 free English lessons: https://www.myhappyenglish.com/My AI English Tutor is HERE

Today's phrasal verb is slack off.  When you slack off, it means you become lazy about your work, your studies, or your responsibilities. You don't try as hard as you should.Like, my friend Eddie started going to the gym in in July, but by the middle of this month, he really started to slack off. And in the office, Jenny was slacking off all week, so now she has to stay late to finish her project.  And me? Honestly speaking, I've been slacking off on studying Japanese reading and writing. But now that I have Sayaka-sensei's new book, Japanese Kanji from scratch, I'm a lot more motivated. By the way, notice the pronunciation: slack off…slack-koff (2x). We connect the K at the end of slack with off: slack-koff.So how about you? Do you ever slack off — maybe at work, school, or even with your hobbies?

Send us a textThis conversation delves into the foundational aspects of Disciple-Making Movements (DMMs) through the lens of Ai-Chi's ministry. It explores the theological and personal struggles that shaped his mission to reach unreached people groups, emphasizing the importance of overcoming personal prejudice and the transformative power of obedience in ministry. The discussion highlights the necessity of engaging with those we fear or resent, ultimately leading to the establishment of a movement that began in Ai-Chi's own community.TakeawaysThe foundation of DMMs is rooted in specific theological beliefs.Ai-Chi's vision was to reach people groups who had never heard the gospel.The call to reach the unreached often confronts personal wounds.Overcoming internal prejudice is crucial for effective ministry.Language learning is a spiritual act of obedience.The urgency to reach the unreached can drive immediate action.Initial ministry efforts can start close to home.Engaging with refugees can lead to significant ministry outcomes.Personal transformation is key to launching a movement.Mission work often begins with confronting our own fears and biases.

Hey there! It's Michael here — and welcome back to another Happy English Sunday Speak. Every Sunday, I'll be here with a quick one-point tip to help you speak English more naturally.One thing you need to know how to do in English is to communicate that you understood what someone said. Like if someone gives you directions on the street. You could say, Oh ok, I understand. And sure, that's correct English — but it can sound a little formal or stiff in everyday conversation. In everyday, English conversation, we use the compact form of I understand, gotcha. Gotcha is the short and quick version of “I got what you said.” “I gah-twa-cha-said” “gotcha!Like, your friend says, “Let's meet at 7 instead of 6.” You can just reply, “Gotcha.”Or your coworker says, “Don't forget to send that email before lunch.” You can answer, “Gotcha.”Or if someone gives you directions — “Turn left at the bank and then right at the station.” — you can simply say, “turn left, and then right. Gotcha.”It's short, it's casual, and it sounds super natural. So next time instead of “I understand,” try saying “Gotcha.”So what do you think of these Sunday Speak podcasts?

Hey there! It's Michael here — and welcome back to another Happy English Saturday Short, your quick tip for speaking English better. Today, let's look at a commonly used conversational phrase is “by the way.”We use by the way when we want to add something to the conversation, kind of like when we need to change the topic, or bringing up an extra point. It's casual, friendly, and super common in everyday English.Like of you're at a party, catching up with a friend. You can say something like, “It's great seeing you tonight. Oh, and by the way, how's your brother doing?” OR if you're talking to a coworker about something and you want to bring up another point. The conversation can go like this. “Yea, I finally finished that coding project this morning. Oh, by the way, did you get a chance to check your email?”Using by the way is like saying, “Oh, there's one more thing…” but in a natural, conversational way.Oh, and by the way?

Hey there! It's Michael here — and welcome back to another Happy English, Friday Phrasal Verb. Every Friday, I'll be here with a quick, one-point English lesson to help you learn one new phrasal verb and sound more natural when you speak.Last week we looked at toy with, which means to consider something not so seriously. Today's phrasal verb is the opposite of that:  mull over. When you mull something over, it means you think about it carefully before making a decision. You're not rushing. You're taking your time to consider the options. Like, my buddy David got a job offer in another city. He said he needs to mull it over before he gives them his  answer. Last week, Emily was thinking about buying a new car, but she told me she wanted to mull it over for a few days first.  And me? I've been mulling over the idea of starting a new project for my students — but I want to be sure it's the right time. By the way, notice the pronunciation: mull over...muh-lover. We link the L at the end of mull with over: muh-lover. Join my Podcast Learner's Study Group here: https://learn.myhappyenglish.com/plsgVisit my website for over 3,000 free English lessons: https://www.myhappyenglish.com/My AI English Tutor is HERE

When AI can podcast, teach and even translate in real time, what's left for us humans?In this episode of English and Beyond: Advanced English Podcast, Oliver and César discuss the promises and threats of Artificial Intelligence. From Apple's new live-translation AirPods to AI-generated podcasts on YouTube, they ask hard and sometimes depressing questions about the future of education, creativity, and work!Will teachers and podcasters (and lawyers) become redundant? Could AI replace not only routine jobs but also creative voices? Or will this technology simply shift what we value as “uniquely human”?Along the way, they reflect on history, from the Industrial Revolution to today, and explore how people adapt when technology changes everything.Listen in for a frank conversation about fear and opportunity — and decide for yourself whether AI is a threat, a tool, or perhaps both.

In this episode of Carioca Connection, Alexia and Foster dive into the world of television and series, discussing how these have been a comfort during challenging times.

I came up with this podcast yesterday. I even wrote some of it in the car. And even though I touched on this topic in a podcast like 10 years ago, this lesson is ever better. Have you ever heard someone say something like, “It's even colder today than yesterday,” or “He even brought his cat to the party,” and thought… what's going on with that little word even? It's just four letters, but even does a lot of work in English. Native speakers use it all the time — in comparisons, for contrast, for emphasis — and in a few fixed phrases, too. So today, let's break it down.Join my Podcast Learner's Study Group here: https://learn.myhappyenglish.com/plsgVisit my website for over 3,000 free English lessons: https://www.myhappyenglish.com/My AI English Tutor is HERE

Hey there! It's Michael here — and welcome back to another Happy English Sunday Speak. Every Sunday, I'll be here with a quick one-point tip to help you speak English more naturally. Now, sometimes in English we need to say “no,” but just saying no can sound too direct or even a little rude. So let's look at some casual, yet polite, natural ways to say no.If someone invites you to do something and you don't want to, you can say:“I'll pass.” Like, Want to come out for karaoke tonight? → Thanks, I'll pass.“Not really my thing.” Like, do you want to go bouldering? → Nah, That's not really my thing.And one that I like to use all the time is “It's not my cup of tea.” Like, Everyone's watching that new horror movie, but scary films are not my cup of tea.So, I'll pass,  It's not really my thing, and It's not my cult of tea. When you need to refuse or decline something, these all sound softer, more polite, and very natural. So how about you? What's something that's Not your cup of tea?

Hey there! It's Michael here — and welcome to the very first Happy English, Friday Phrasal Verb.Starting today, I'll be here every Friday with a quick, one-point English lesson to help you learn one new phrasal verb and sound more natural when you speak. Today's phrasal verb is toy with. When you toy with something, it means you're considering it, but not very seriously. It's like you're playing with the idea — maybe yes, maybe no, but you're not 100% committed. And we usually use the phrase “Toy with the idea of” followed by a gerund. Like, my friend Alex has been toying with the idea of moving to Chicago, but he hasn't started packing boxes yet.And last week, Jessica said she was toying with the idea of starting her own bakery, but right now it's just an idea.And me? I've been toying with the idea of getting a new guitar, although I should probably sell one of the old ones first.So how about you? Are you toying with any ideas these days?
