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

visit all over Brazil many for a full
month’s just travelling same with Japan

ask you some suggestions when I go aha

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
