    974 - Find vs. Find Out - Phrasal Verbs in a Minute | Happy English
    Jan 22 2026
    Is it find or find out? A lot of English learners have this question.

    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.

    So yeah, find or find out? Find means to locate a thing.
    • I just moved here last year and I'm still trying to find a good pizza shop.
    • I found my wallet. It fell behind my desk.


    Find out means discover information.
    • I found out that my grandfather was a pastry chef.
    • Janna found out her boss is gonna quit the company.

    So remember, you find a thing, but you find out information.

    How about you? What are you trying to find? What have you found out recently? Let me 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 Verbs in a Minute. Hey, thanks for listening - and until next time, keep learning and keep it cool.

    973 - Giving Advice in English - Have You Ever Thought About It?
    Jan 22 2026
    Do you ever feel a little uncomfortable giving advice in English? Maybe you want to help someone - but you don’t want to sound pushy, bossy, or rude. So you’re not sure what to say. The good news is, native speakers rarely give advice in a very direct way. Instead of saying things like, “You should do this,” we usually soften our advice and make it sound more friendly and conversational.

    So today, let’s look at some very common, very natural ways native speakers give advice in everyday English.

  • 972 - Why Americans Don’t Say the T in Winter

    972 - Why Americans Don’t Say the T in Winter
    Jan 20 2026
    Hey there! It’s Michael here - and welcome back to Speak Naturally in a Minute from Happy English. I’m here every week 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.

    Today, let’s talk about something fun in American English: Why “winter” and “winner” often sound exactly the same.

    This happens because of a sound change called the N-flap. 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 winner
    • twenty sounds like twenny
    • plenty sounds like plenny

    For 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.
