20 NOV 2024 · Next week is a holiday called Thanksgiving here in the USA. It’s a family holiday, where we show gratitude and appreciation to others. And that gave me the idea to help you boost your vocabulary about thanking someone.

18 NOV 2024 · This podcast, which I produce for you each week, is designed to help you improve your English. I’m sure that English learners who listen to the Happy English podcast can find something useful in each episode. Did you notice those relative clauses?
In a nut shell, relative clauses are kind of like these little phrases that we add into our sentences to give us extra information about a noun. And they're really useful for like, adding detail and making your sentences more interesting.

14 NOV 2024 · I gotta tell you, I was pretty surprised when the boss paid for lunch today. I mean, he pays our salary each month, but he’s never treated us to lunch before. Of course, we were all pleasantly surprised when he took out his wallet and paid the check for us!
English vocabulary can be tricky sometimes, especially when it comes to prepositions. The verb pay is a good example of this. Pay is a simple word, but we can use it on its own, or we can use pay for, pay by, pay in, pay down, pay up and even pay back.
