Speaker 1: Hey there, it's Michael here and welcome back to English

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,119
Tips in a Minute from Happy English. I'm here every

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,640
week with a short, simple tip to help you speak

4
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:19,399
English more naturally and confidently. Today, let's look at a

5
00:00:19,399 --> 00:00:25,440
really useful conversational phrase that reminds me. We use that

6
00:00:25,519 --> 00:00:29,800
reminds me when something in the conversation makes us remember

7
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:34,200
something else. It's a natural way to change the topic

8
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:39,520
or add new information without sounding abrupt. Like if your

9
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,840
friend says I finally finished that book I was reading,

10
00:00:44,399 --> 00:00:48,200
you can say, oh, that reminds me I still have

11
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,719
a book I need to return to the library. Or

12
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:56,159
if your roommate says I'm thinking of making pasta for

13
00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:00,439
dinner tonight, you can say, oh, that remind reminds me

14
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,959
we're out of olive oil. That reminds me is like

15
00:01:05,079 --> 00:01:10,040
saying your comment just made me think of something related again.

16
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,040
It's a very natural way to shift topics in English.

17
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,719
Try that in your English conversation this week and let

18
00:01:17,799 --> 00:01:20,640
me know in the comments how it goes. Remember to
