Speaker 1: Hey there, it's Michael here and welcome back to Fraser
Verbs in a minute from Happy English. I'm here every
Friday with a quick one point lesson to help you
learn a new phraseal 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 Fraser verb is perfect for
the new year kick off. When you kick off something,
it means you start it in an energetic or official way.
We use kickoff for events, projects, meetings, and even new
habits or goals. Like my friend Emma kicked off twenty
twenty six by joining a new gym. A lot of
companies kick off events with a big team meeting, and me,
I'm kicking off the new year with a fresh batch
of podcast English lessons like this one. And here's a
pronunciation tip. Kick off sounds like kick off. The k
at the end of kick links with off kick off
that makes the sound smooth. So how about you? How
are you kicking off the new year? Maybe with a
new hobby, a new routine, or a new goal for
learning English. Let me know in the comments and remember
