excellent I’m glad you’re here mashallah

great excuse me I’m going to get step of

tea today from my excellently cute MA

and I have a question for you at the

beginning of our lesson this is a really

simple question because we’re going to

be talking about your city or your

country so I want to know first of all

where do you live what city or what

country do you live in or is your home

country maybe some of you aren’t living

in your home country so tell me where do

you live or where is your home country

or city because we’re going to be

focusing on describing places in your

home city or where you live at the

moment so this is a good chance to meet

people from all over the world and also

to learn about cool places

Florina Alexander asked us often welcome

welcome today we’re going to talk about

the word could could so this word is and

this lesson is part of our fearless

fluency Club sample lesson pack so I

want to quickly remind you that you can

download the free sample lessons set up

here there’s a link speak English with

Vanessa comm slash fluency and you can

download the full sample lesson set so

you can learn more about could would

should conversation vocabulary next week

we’re going to focus on pronunciation so

I recommend download the sample lesson

set after this lesson go back and watch

the grammar lesson in the lesson set so

that you can review you can get some

questions and you can really prepare for

speaking English naturally Oh wonderful

we’ve got people from all over the world

excellent

is that rush loves in st. Petersburg

excellent new Khomeini’s didn’t Vietnam

come on originally from Nepal and is

living in South Korea great place hi

Lukas Lukas is in Brazil Oh wonderful

I’m glad that you are here live we’re

gonna

talk about a cool place in your city or

in your country so if you are from oh

yeah Buland vut are wonderful I would

love to visit Mongolia this is actually

my one of my dreams in life I would love

to go to Mongolia and just enjoy nature

I’ve heard it’s beautiful anyway today

I’ll make it there Oh excellent so let

me know what city do you live in and

next we’re going to talk about how to

recommend a cool place in your city so

Alexander have downloaded the guide

excellent The Fearless fluency Club

perfect I’m glad that you downloaded

it’s awesome Ochs awesome great I’m glad

you enjoyed it

krysta and wonderful stuff on zinc

artisan great much love I’m using a new

phone at the moment or a different phone

so maybe the next time I’ll try a little

microphone see how it goes I want to let

you know how we could use good good

today so this is what we’re going to be

talking about and we’re going to use

this for giving a polite suggestion so

let’s pretend that I am going to visit

your city let’s pretend I’m going to

visit awesome Paulo or I’m going to

visit some place where you live oh I see

there’s some problem with the microphone

let’s take a look I’m gonna see if I can

plug in my headphones maybe that’ll help

a little bit I know there’s a little a

little microphone here I’m not sure if

it will work well or not let’s give it a

try okay I hope it will be okay alright

so yes Alexander is correct could is a

great way to give a polite suggestion so

I would like you to

think about a cool place in your city

for example David says I’m in Rio de

Janeiro the city of the Olympic Games

yes so if you want to recommend what I

can do in Rio de Janeiro you could say

you could watch the Olympics

I’ll use my other color here you could

watch so we’ve got some recommendation

for going to Rio de Janeiro you could

watch you could watch the Olympics it is

not saying you should watch the eschewed

is much stronger so this is going to be

a great way to give a suggestion and

really help people to feel like you’re

being polite to them so I want to help

you use this as a polite suggestion a

polite suggestion oh great you can

probably hear everything including the

motorcycle that just went by so I want

to know can you give me some suggestions

about what I should do what could I do

in your city what are some things that

you would recommend in your city AHA yes

so and when there are several ways and

one has a good question could we use

could to make a polite request for

example could you pass me some water

could you answer this question yes there

are multiple ways to use could and in

this in this live lesson I want to help

you with one of those because if we

focus on all of them right now who

there’s a lot so I think mastering one

is the best way to completely understand

it before we go to others but yes that’s

a great question we can use could can

use could add a polite request so this

is a instead of a request this

some polite advice so this is just

polite advice you could watch the

Olympics aha cause another question

could we use much of good

could we use may instead of could you

may watch say let’s grammatically it’s

correct but we don’t really use that I

think using could is going to sound much

more natural especially when you’re

giving a suggestion

aha gosh love says you could visit

palace square in st. Petersburg

excellent you could visit palace square

I would love to visit palace square in

fact one of my friends is going on a

business cruise I think it’s for her

husband’s job and she’s going to st.

Petersburg so I can’t wait to hear all

of her stories and all the great things

that happen and I’m sure that she is

going to visit the the palace square Oh

Sayid has a great suggestion for Tehran

you could see Milad tower you could see

Milad tower so the best way to start

with this is if someone asks you ah what

what should I do in your city so if

someone asks how what should I do in

your city or what good things are there

to do in your city this is when you can

answer with this you could visit Milad

tower in Tehran you could go to Rio de

Janeiro and watch the Olympics but as

Martin piano says in San Paulo

you could go to offices a long name you

buta we’re off I’m not sure with that

correctly Park excellent you’re

recommending a park perfect

I love parks in fact those are some of

my best memories when I go to a new

place author says you could visit

downtown try the food falafel canal

well maybe that’s another kind of food

I’m sure you’ll love it

Sarah I love eating I love trying new

foods so this is a perfect suggestion

you could eat so notice we always have a

verb afterwards you could watch the

Olympics you could eat something you

could try this food you could visit the

park you could go to the park ah Hassan

says you could see nice views in my city

you could speak to people in my city

because they’re friendly oh that’s

excellent

I love visiting new places and meeting

nice people that’s excellent excellent

oh you could visit several places here

in Brazil thanks Edson I would love to

visit all over Brazil many for a full

month’s just travelling same with Japan

a lot of great local cuisine in Japan I

think if I go to Japan I will definitely

eat a lot of food and I’m sure that I’ll

ask you some suggestions when I go aha

correctly uh G the G is always hard

want to give you a few suggestions as

well for the US if you come to the US

and if you visit New York I mean New

York is a pretty popular destination if

you visit New York you could walk around

some small little streets and just see

what kind of daily life people are

having you could sit at a cafe and watch

people walk by or listen to people speak

English I think these moments are really

real because you’re seeing what people

are doing in daily life it’s great to

see the Empire State Building and the

Statue of Liberty and these kind of

tourist places but it’s excellent to see

daily life so you could sit in a cafe

and just watch people go by and listen

to English that would be really fun oh

man 9ul has a great suggestion for Spain

uh-huh in Honduras you could visit copan

ruinas oh I would love to go to Honduras

careful in Brazil but I could catch a

Zika in Brazil by pretty sure that we

stay safe it’ll be okay I hope you’re

doing well
