Saturday with a short, simple tip to help you speak

4
00:00:13,359 --> 00:00:18,120
English more naturally and confidently. And if you want to

5
00:00:18,199 --> 00:00:22,199
watch this lesson, just look for a Happy English podcast

6
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:27,120
on YouTube. Today, let's look at a really natural phrase

7
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:32,240
you'll hear in everyday English. To this day. We use

8
00:00:32,719 --> 00:00:37,880
to this day to mean until now, usually when something

9
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,399
began in the past and is still true today. To

10
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:46,320
this day often shows strong feelings like surprise, wonder and

11
00:00:46,399 --> 00:00:51,520
even admiration, like I first saw Casablanca when I was

12
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:55,159
in my twenties and to this day it's still my

13
00:00:55,359 --> 00:01:01,320
favorite movie. Or our relationship ended over twenty five years ago,

14
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,920
but to this day, I don't know why she broke

15
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,079
up with me. You'll hear the phrase to this day

16
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:14,599
a lot in stories, interviews, and even documentaries because it

17
00:01:14,719 --> 00:01:19,280
connects the past and present in a simple, powerful way.

18
00:01:19,799 --> 00:01:24,319
So try using to this day in your English conversations

19
00:01:24,359 --> 00:01:27,480
this week. Let me know in the comments how it goes,
