975 - That Reminds Me – English Tips in a Minute | Happy English

Hey there! It’s Michael here - and welcome back to English Tips in a Minute from Happy English. I’m here every week with a short, simple tip to help you speak English more naturally and confidently. 

Today, let’s look at a really useful conversational phrase - “that reminds me.” We use that reminds me when something in the conversation makes us remember something else. It’s a natural way to change the topic or add new information without sounding abrupt.

• Like, if your friend says, “I finally finished that book I was reading.” you can say,  “Oh! That reminds me, I still have a book I need to return to the library.”
• Or, your roommate says,  “I’m thinking of making pasta for dinner tonight” you can say,  “Oh, that reminds me, we’re out of olive oil.”

“That reminds me” is like saying, “Your comment just made me think of something related.” It’s a very natural way to shift topics in English. Try using it in your English conversations this week.

Lemme know in the comments how it goes, and remember to follow or subscribe so you don’t miss the next Happy English Podcast and next week’s English Tips in a Minute. Hey, thanks for listening - and until next time, keep learning and keep it cool.
