      971 - Talking About Plans and Intentions in English - Want To, Plan To, Be Going To, Hope To, and Intend To
      Jan 18 2026
      Do you ever notice that when you talk about your plans in English, you use the same phrase again and again?
      Maybe you say things like: “I’m gonna do this.” “I’m gonna go there.” “I’m gonna improve my English.” Those sentences are totally fine. No problem at all.

      But native speakers don’t only use “be going to” when they talk about future plans. We also use phrases like want to, plan to, hope to, and even intend to - and each one sounds a little different. So today, let’s look at five very common ways to talk about plans and intentions in English, and how native speakers really use them in everyday conversation.

    • 970 - It Turns Out - English Tips in a Minute | Happy English

      970 - It Turns Out - English Tips in a Minute | Happy English
      Jan 18 2026
      Hey there! It’s Michael here — and welcome back to English Tips in a Minute from Happy English. I’m here every week 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 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.

      969 - Map Out - Phrasal Verbs in a Minute | Happy English
      Jan 17 2026
      I’m here every week with a quick one-point lesson to help you learn a new phrasal verb and sound more natural when you speak. By the way, if you want to see the video version of this lesson, just look for Happy English Podcast on YouTube.

      Today’s phrasal verb is map out. When you map out something, it means you plan it carefully, step by step - just like drawing a map.
      • Like, a lot of people map out their goals for the new year - health, work, hobbies, all of it.
      • My friend Olivia mapped out her budget for 2026 so she can save more.
      • And I just mapped out my podcast schedule for the next few months… busy but exciting!

      And here’s a pronunciation tip. The P of Map links with out. Ma-pout

      So how about you? Have you mapped out anything for the new year? 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.
