I suggest you listen carefully to this podcast. And if you’re with a friend right now, I suggest he listen carefully as well. Or she listen carefully. I mean, if I were you, I’d definitely stick around for this one. Today we’re diving into a part of English grammar that doesn’t follow the usual rules - but native speakers use it all the time without thinking twice. Especially in American English. It’s called the subjunctive mood - and while that might sound technical or tricky, it’s actually pretty simple once you know how it works. So today, I’ll walk you through four common ways we use the subjunctive - all with real-life, everyday examples.

With season two, FX’s English teacher is still an under-seen, very clever and very funny series. Brian Jordan Alvarez knows what he’ doing. * * * While the first season introduced us to this high school universe, this season takes it a step further, but i don’t think it was in the right direction. As the episodes went on, the series continues to thrive in a comfortable groove. Too comfortable to be honest. Evan is becoming too self-righteous, but humor remains unrelenting and not afraid of taking jabs at the most pressing issues facing education so far. Which is great. There continues to be a subversive thrust to English Teacher… What the show’s creator needs is more confidence in what the show can do, given the rich vein of comedy material it has at hand. As a result, the show is stuck at a lower tier while it has the same potential as Abbot Elementary, if not more. Yes, this season is not as perfect as the first, even if it feels more polished. To stay with the sports metaphors for a bit, this show’s batting average is high, connecting far more often than not. And at this point, the comedy has the chemistry, playbook, and legs for more potential seasons. I just hope they rebalance the characters a bit moving forward.

Hey, let me ask you a question - have you ever made a decision… and then later thought, “Oh man, I shouldn’t have done that”? Or maybe you’ve thought, “If only I had done it differently.” Yeah. That, my friend, is regret - and we all feel it sometimes. Regret is one of those universal emotions - something everyone experiences. And in English, we’ve got a few really natural and emotional ways to talk about it. So today, I’ll show you how to use phrases like “I should have,” “I wish I had,” and “If only I had” - plus some everyday expressions people use when they mess up.  Join my Podcast Learner's Study Group here: https://learn.myhappyenglish.com/plsg Visit my website for over 3,000 free English lessons: https://www.myhappyenglish.com/ My AI English Tutor is https://chatgpt.com/g/g-687344c0706c819184e8bda28d7582d9-ask-michael-your-english-teacher 

Hey there! It’s Michael here - and welcome back to another Happy English Sunday Speak. I’m here every Sunday with a quick one-point tip to help you speak English more naturally. Now, in American English, there’s a special sound we make with the letter T. It’s called the flap T, and it sounds kind of like a soft D sound. You’ll hear it in words like better, water, and pretty. So instead of saying “BET-ter,” “WAH-ter,” and “PRIT-ty,” Americans usually say “BEH-der,” “WAH-der,”  and “PRI-dee.” This sound happens when the T comes between two vowel sounds — like the a and e in water, or the i and y in city. Let me give you some sentences to practice this:  -  “I feel better today.” → “I feel beh-der today.” -  “We had a pretty nice day in the city.” → We had a pri-dee nice day in the sih-dy.” -  “Can I get a glass of water?” → “Can I gedda glass of wah-der?” This flap T sound makes your English smoother and more natural — just like how most Americans really speak.

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 super common phrase you’ll hear in everyday English: “You know what I mean?” We use you know what I mean? to seek agreement or to check if the other person understands us. It’s kind of like soft tag questions, like isn’t it? that keeps the conversation friendly and connected. Like, in the office, you might say: “There’s something strange about the new marketing manager, you know what I mean?” OR  “That meeting felt way too long, you know what I mean?” And on a rainy Monday, “Man, this weather makes me so sleepy, you know what I mean?” Again, when you say you know what I mean, you’re not really asking for information. You’re just trying to connect what you’re thinking with the other person. It makes your English sound more relaxed, natural, and conversational. And here’s a quick pronunciation tip  -  in real life, we often say it like this: “Y’know what I mean?” Go ahead, try saying that out loud. So remember, you know what I mean? is a great way to show understanding, invite agreement, and sound more like a native speaker. You know what I mean?
