βœ… Sound like a Native Speaker: WHEN & WHAT QUESTIONS
In this lesson I’ll teach you FAST native speaker pronunciation. We’ll look at how when native speakers are relaxed and talking fast, individual sounds in a sentence may change completely. This happens because our tongues naturally want to say everything the laziest way possible! I’ll give you plenty of examples of the sounds in words changing when spoken quickly and I’ll also teach you some IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet). We’ll also practice speaking with the right intonation when asking questions, as this is really important not only to convey the right meaning, but also to get the correct rhythm in your speech. In under 15 minutes, you will be able to start sounding more like a native English speaker. Learn more about speaking naturally in my Clear Accent course.

βœ… Can I? Could I? May I?
Should you say Can I, Could I, or May I? Learn exactly when to use each expression to ask questions politely in English. Be confident and correct when you ask permission or make a request in different situations: informal, semi-formal, or formal. Find out how to match your question and answer with the context. These modal questions are extremely common in English, which is why this is such an important lesson. Don’t miss it!

βœ… Learn English Grammar: When to use an β€˜-ING’ word after β€˜TO’
Do we always use a verb after to? The answer is NO! In this English grammar lesson, I will teach you how to can be followed by a noun, a preposition, an adjective, an adjective participle, and more. We will look at this grammatical structure in several sentences that serve different purposes. For example, we can express anticipation by saying β€œI look forward to meeting with you next week.” We can express a preference by saying β€œI prefer jogging to running.” Or we can express an obligation by saying β€œI need to get around to finishing my essay.” Watch the video for these and lots more useful ways to use to plus an -ing word ending.
