928 - Rattle Off - Phrasal Verbs in a Minute | Happy English

Hey there! It’s Michael here - and welcome back to Phrasal Verbs in a Minute from Happy English.
I’m here every Friday with a quick one-point lesson to help you learn a new phrasal verb and sound more natural when you speak. And if you want to watch this lesson just look for Happy English Michael on YouTube.

Today’s phrasal verb is rattle off.  When you rattle something off, it means you say or list things quickly and easily - usually without stopping to think much. It’s like when someone just fires off information from memory.

• Like, my friend Lisa is amazing with dates. You can ask her about any historical event, and she’ll rattle off the exact year it happened.
• And my coworker Tom can rattle off ten phrasal verbs in thirty seconds - no problem at all.

Here’s a pronunciation tip: rattle off - ra-dl-off. The T sound of rattle  is a flap T sound, and the  L sound of links with off, so it sounds like ra-dloff.
So how about you? Is there something you can rattle off - maybe song lyrics, movie quotes, or English phrasal verbs?
