969 - Map Out - Phrasal Verbs in a Minute | Happy English

I’m here every week with a quick one-point lesson to help you learn a new phrasal 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 phrasal verb is map out. When you map out something, it means you plan it carefully, step by step - just like drawing a map.

• Like, a lot of people map out their goals for the new year - health, work, hobbies, all of it.
• My friend Olivia mapped out her budget for 2026 so she can save more.
• And I just mapped out my podcast schedule for the next few months… busy but exciting!

And here’s a pronunciation tip. The P of Map links with out. Ma-pout

So how about you? Have you mapped out anything for the new year?

Hey, thanks for listening - and until next time, keep learning and keep it cool.
