Speaker 1: Hey there, it's Michael here and welcome back to English
Tips in a minute from Happy English. I'm here every
Saturday 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 natural expression you'll hear a
lot at the beginning of the year, start off on
the right foot. We use the idioms start off on
the right foot to mean begin something in a good, positive,
or successful way, like when it's the first day back
at work this year, your coworker might say, I want
to start the year off on the right foot. Or
when you decide to remodel the kitchen, you could say,
let's start off on the right foot and keep everything
organized from the beginning. We also use this phrase to
talk about relationships, like Jack started off on the right
foot with his new neighbors. It's positive, it's friendly, and
it's perfect for January, when everyone is thinking about goals,
routines and fresh starts. Start off on the right foot
is a natural way to say you want to begin
something well, whether it's a new year, a new job,
or even a new habit. Let me know in the
comments how you're planning to start the year off on
the right foot, and remember to follow our subscribe so
