 You did it already. You like the cold weather? I like cold. I like cold. It's always so sunny that sometimes it's nice to have a little bit of rain or a little bit of dark clouds sometimes, right? So how's everyone today? Everyone's good? It's Thursday, tomorrow's Friday. So we feel good? That's all. What? That's all. That's all? That's all. That's all. That's all, folks. Right? That's all. German apart. So last night I was showing my girlfriend this video I had to do for college. And my professor made me learn to juggle. He made me learn to juggle. So that's something that I can do. I can juggle. Something interesting, right? Can anyone in here juggle? Has anyone ever tried? No? So that's something interesting, right? That not many people can do, right? So I was thinking, why don't we try to think of something that you can do that you think is the most interesting thing that you can do or that you have been able to do since the certain age, right? So my example was juggling, right? I can juggle. I have been able to juggle for about eight years now. But it can be anything, something that you can do that maybe you think is rare and something interesting. Give us something interesting, right? So why don't we take a minute to think about it. Take a minute to think about it. And we'll discuss it. Any ideas? Something weird we can do. Something you can do. Is there anything you can do that you find interesting? I can't write. You can what? Write. I can't write a card. You can. I can't. Can in America. That's interesting. But most people can drive, right? Can you guys drive? Yes. Can you think of anything else that you're able to do, maybe? I can't live to come home. Why not? But very good. Very good. Can you say it again one more time? I can't write the camera. Right? I can't write the camera. So tell us about that. Has anyone written a camel? Do you mind telling us about it? The first, it's very difficult. Because it's go like that. And it's go under your pillow. Sometimes you're so dumb. You see, sometimes I'm so dumb. Sometimes. So anything else? Like you wear a seat? You have to wear a strap or anything? You need to. OK. That's necessary. If you want to wear a jacket. OK. And what about if you have a camel? Yes, I have. So how many do you have? I don't really have a camel. He had a turntag. How much? Each one, $300,000 USD. $300,000. And he had a siren on. And he had a turntag. He had a turntag. What's the $9 million in camera? We're rich, man. Just in camera. A camel? Yeah. Maghateer. Just one name. And me, like, a dirty name. Yeah, some of them, like, let's wish a lot, let's wish. Save. What do you use? How do you use the cameras? You make the only or the spare money only we use for everything. The eggs. We can eat, we can drink the milk, we can carry. Congratulations, man. And for the racing? Oh, and what do you do with these cameras? Of these things? Party? Party. You make money or all the spare money? No, spare, then sometimes we serve the camel. And do you bring the meat? Yes, it's very good. And it's very good for the health. The best time, you will have problem. Really? With your stomach. Because it's very strong. OK. Next time, you'll be OK. It has a lot of fat. But then there's like a sauce. Interesting. So you have it in you when you're in Salami drink economy. Yeah. How many times per day do you have people like your name? Once a month or a day? No, maybe once a month. Oh, once a month. It's very good. And you eat it even. Yeah, it's very good. It's good. It takes several, you eat a lot. Yeah, it's very big. Maybe one? Maybe one every two months. Yeah. And you give water to eat? What do you do? Sit like grass and water. OK. So he can ride camel, he can drink camel milk? Yeah. He can eat camel milk. And you bet able to do this for how long? The riding? I lived for two years. Two years? Yeah. So that was a good one. Do you eat grazing with that? Yeah. Really? Is it dangerous? No, no. No? No. Do you have a seat? Yeah, you come with the magazine. And then you have the... They're very tall. No, no. Not too much. Not too much. But there is like a statement. Very good. So that was something that he can do that I would find rare, right? None of us have done that. So do we have any other ideas? Anything else? Anything interesting you maybe learned as a child or recently? No? OK. So I like the camel that was very, very good, the camel example. That was a rare thing. That's something that he can do, something that he was able to do, right? Something very rare that we don't do in many countries, right? Is that popular anywhere else? No? I've actually never really... I don't know if I've ever even seen a camel, actually. Has everyone here seen a camel? No. You've seen it? Yes. My name wasn't there. I was in Dubai and they let me clean for it. But it wasn't there. It was a ballistic... Zoom. I was very worried. Why were you worried? Because it's very huge. It moves like this. Like what? You sit and it moves like this. Oh, place it down. The movement. The most interesting thing is that you're pulling down easily. So that was something that he can do, something that he was able to do. Very good example that he was sharing then. I can do the juggling. I'll do that for you one day. You're bringing some juggling balls for you, right? So, I wrote a sentence here. They blank wait because they were in a hurry. Can you guys think of what might be in that blank then? The calendar. They can't wait because... But, now look at this word here. Right? So that's past, right? No. So it wouldn't be can't. Close. Very close. Couldn't, right? Couldn't. Very good. Couldn't, right? Have we seen that before? Yeah? Couldn't. Was that on the recent test that you took? No, just the recent of today. The one? The recent of today. Oh, okay. Shoot down, shoot down. Today? Yeah. That was another one that you did recently. Okay. What are these called? Do we know what these are called? Model verbs. Model verbs. Very good. Model verbs. Have duals on it. Have duals on it. He knows. He knows. So what do we use model verbs for? For what? Model verbs. Okay. We use them for what else? For when you're not sure. So we can use... Well, the model verbs are used for forming tenses or moves or voices. They can express necessity, possibility. Can you give me examples of model verbs? Hypothetical situation. Hypothetical situation? Right. Yes, exactly. Yes. Very good. Can we think of any examples of model verbs? Other ones than this? Should, right? What? What? What? What? So we have should, what? What are the other ones? Most. All of them. O, U, G, H, C, O, O. Oh, like you oughts to? Ought to. Okay. Oughts. That's another one. Any other ones? What is the present form of the... Can. Can. Can. Can. May must. May must. Very good. Quite. So we've seen these. Good. We've seen these before. So do we know the rules like for can and could? How about can? So we say can is what tense? What tense is can? Is it simple? No? Isn't simple. Very good. Can, so we use can with the present simple. So that's why here we didn't use that because of the word, right? What about... So that's very good. So what about the able to? When can we use able to? You know, but you can use the can for present form, right? But you can also use it for... So the past or the conditional, we went over, right? Is the couldn't? Could? That's the past, right? Can you use it as a conditional before I move on to able to? Like a... Could. How would you use that in a conditional sentence? It could be weight. They could... Be weighting? Be weighting? They could be weighting? Okay. So you could be weighting for... What? Ten minutes? Yeah. Could be weighting for... One day. One day, right? So one day. So anything from there to there? You could be weighting? You're saying? So it's a possibility? Okay, very good. And what about able to? So when do we use able to? When we can do something? Okay. In what tense would we use it? Are you able to swim? Okay. Are you able to swim? And so we would be talking about the... We'll come use it in another tense that we would be talking about. Are you able to speak English? Are you able to speak English? What about the future? Can we use that in the future? Future. Future. We'll be able. We'll be able. So in the sentence... In the sentence, maybe... Maybe a question. In six months, I will be able to speak English. In six months, I will be able to speak English. Is that a true sentence? No. I may. May. Maybe. Maybe. All the way. So I will be able to, right? I suppose to speak English. Suppose to. So you could say you will be able to practice English in the United States. So it would be like the future tense. So we would use that for the future. So we've seen this before, right? All right. Do you guys seem pretty comfortable with that? I brought in this communication exercise. That we could do. And so what it does is it lists off sentences and beliefs using can, could and be able to, right? So these are possibilities. These are things that we can do, right? Things that we can do. And so what it does is it lists it off and you read it and then you say if you agree or you disagree. So the first one is to be able to speak English well, you have to live in an English speaking country for at least one year. So you can write, you can put an X if you agree or you can put an A if you would like and a D if you disagree. So if you wouldn't mind just going through, writing an A or a D on each one. And then at the, and then after you finish we can talk about, we agree or we disagree with the whole class because some of these I think we'll have different opinions on. Here you go. We'll give it another two minutes and then we will see what everyone thinks. So let's look into these. So again, remember these are abilities or possibilities using can, could or be able to, right? Because that's what they show, an ability or a possibility, right? So Anna, would you mind reading one? To be able to speak English well you have to live in an English speaking country for at least one year. So what do you think? Do you agree or disagree? I disagree. Disagree? I think it depends on how we work on it. You can also do the language in six months. Maybe you have to work at home with watching movies or watching video reading books. Okay. Listening maybe one year instead. Too much? Yeah. Okay. Does anyone else have that? It depends. If you start from zero maybe you'll finish one year. If you start from a basic level I can start from six months. Six months? And then you have to work with the movie. It's never a moment of laughing about the language for one year. Good. That's really good. I think we'll start from in some sense. Okay. Does everyone agree with that? Do we have anyone that thinks differently or do everyone have the same idea? Vincent Zavance? Yeah. I disagree. Okay. Same thing? Yeah. Okay. All right. So let's move on to the next one. Vince, would you mind agreeing to you there? I'd prefer you more opportunities if you can speak English well. I agree. Agreed? Yeah. And why? Because now a lot of companies are international and it depends on your job. If you want to control or value the world in the market. Okay. I agree. Does everyone agree? Yeah. Any other additional reasons and same thoughts? So there is a global company. It's the most important company. It's a global company. And if you can speak in English, you are able to talk to the manager, the director, the CEO. If you can't speak any or understand nothing, you are going to have a chance. They always, maybe in Brazil, have a lot of needs or important person in English. If you can't understand nothing, if you're not... Okay. Or if you want to speak. And if you can understand and can speak a little bit, some of them. Okay. So we think that if you can speak English well, then there are more opportunities, right? So we see the word can there. So you have the ability to speak English, right? What about... Salon, what did you think of three? Or would you mind reading that, too? I'm not reading. I'm not reading. And would you mind reading it? It's never too late to be able to learn a new language. Okay. Does everyone agree? And why do we agree with that? Because if you want to learn... You don't mind reading it? To learn... Oh, things. It's never late, but when you are there... When you are there, it's late. Okay. So it's definitely safe. But I'm not sure... philosophical. This works. Because the sentence is to be able to learn a new language. If you are 70 years old, I don't know if you are in the same way able to learn a new language. No, I'd seek me any but... More difficult than you... More difficult. More younger. More... More difficult than you... There's a will, okay? And maybe you can learn a language, but not as well as when you were a threat guest. In the same way, it doesn't work anymore. Of course, more difficult. Yes. But... I took both. I agree. Yes. Because if you want to learn a language, you can make it this eight years or this hundred years. Sure. But not in the same way as with 20 years. But if you really want it or even move it... But we are talking about learning a language. Yes. And once they are younger, if you are, it's more easy, it's more possibility. Less time or spend less money. Very good point. So you highlighted the be able to, right? Yes. So that was the point there, be able to. And I can see her point, like you said, right? Maybe when you get older, it's harder to be able to. Good point. Abdul, would you mind reading the next one? My main reason for learning English is because I want to be able to get a good job. Okay. I disagree. You disagree? Yes. I don't know. Because now the English is... I don't know how to speak English. Okay. Good. So we will... I'm going to talk about that a little later, too. So that was a very good point. Very good point. You are busy with this? And you want to be a pilot? Yes. No, only job. Yes. You are busy with this? Yes. Because you don't know every way. Because you can't talk? If you don't have English. Very good. What about the next one there? Julian? It doesn't matter if you make mistakes in English, it's because if people are able to understand you... Yes, I agree. I agree. I agree. Because you learn the language... I don't speak. If you speak and if you try and if you don't... It's more easy to speak for other foreigners. Yes, yes. If you want to go to Germany, I speak in English, and German people, you can't understand me more. More than Americans. Wow. It depends on the whole formal, the moment you go interview or for a job. Yes. You need to? Yes. You don't need to? Yes. You don't have a mistake? Yes. But if you travel or speak for someone for another foreign, it's more easy to understand. Yes. Okay. So, you serve a very good point. For me... Please. So, you want people to understand you, right? But if you go to a job or something, then they will highlight or point out the mistakes that you made. Is that what you're saying? Good. What about Luciano and Marco? Would you mind reading the next one? Luciano? There's not much you can to improve your English outside the classroom. I disagree. I disagree. You disagree? Yes. I have a lot of websites to help you. Movies? Yes. Movies. To music? Yes. Okay. So, you disagree? Yes. Okay. Does everyone think the same? Yes. You agree with that? Okay. What about the next one? The Julian? Too much should always be able to say some basic phrases in the language of the country there. I agree. I agree. Because of the kind of mistakes I show the people of the country under them. It's always better if you can say hello. Thank you. How are you? Yes. Talk a little bit and to learn a little bit of the culture of the country. Some are polite in phrases or something. But thank you. How are you? The native. How do you say hello here? How do you say hello? Good. Hello. Hello. Easy. Just hello. Good. Remember that one. Good. Good. Good. Okay. So, let's stick to English, right? So, does everyone agree with that? Disagree. You disagree? Yes. I was in Spain and I can't speak Spanish. Yes. I know why you speak Spanish. But wouldn't it be better if you could speak Spanish? If you could say hola, guitar. No. I spoke only in English. Okay. What God? How many of you go to the champagne. Before you travel into the book, just speak for five minutes, no? That's every language you have. So, what do we think of the next one there? So what about, what about the next one there, Anna? What? I thought you were being 100% being... I think it's true. You think it's true? Yeah. And why? 100% language that we assume when you are born there. It's very, very, very difficult to be. But 100% being... I think it's sweet. You disagree? Yes. You can speak two languages. For example, my daughter is a cousin. She was born here. And she speaks perfectly in French. Okay. Because she wants to be in French. She speaks with her mother in Spanish. And of course, especially if she speaks English. Okay. Let's speak Italian. Let's speak Italian. It's cool. Let's speak French with the Italian. But they are speaking English. But it is not the language. Even if they speak 10 years. For example, you learn better and better. Brazilian. Very good English. Maybe she lost some words in Portuguese, I think. So we think, so when we say, we disagree. We would say we can't. We would say it's impossible. You disagree? I disagree here. I can't never. Can't never? Right, can't never. That's why I wanted to point that out, right? So you understand this as can never, right? Okay. Okay. So we say a person can never, right? So that would be the opposite, right? What about the next one there? Abdul. Most people prepare to see a foreign movie. For the film, with subtitles. They'll see it deep. To their own language. Now they watch it in English. And then in English subtitles. Okay. I don't understand. Okay. You don't understand these, what? Okay. So you are Southern Indian, right? You prefer soft films. They feel nicer in English than in Arabic. Of course. Because you are studying English. You'll never want or need to study. You'll stay at home. You're living there. I see the novel. Very good. I like to see it from time to time. I didn't come here. Okay. I'm prepared. Does everyone agree with that? You disagree? I prefer my language more easily. I prefer my own language. Okay. I prefer my language and put W in English or whatever language. Okay. Very good. What about the next one there, Sylvan? What does that say there? Time? It can help you when you learn English. It's true. I agree. Everyone? Okay. So it can. So then you're saying it's possible to be able to help you? Yeah. Okay. Every fear did. I would have to agree, right? What about the next one there, Anna? Listen to other people speaking English. It's the only way I can improve my pronunciation. No, it's the only way. It's not the only way. You can watch movies. Yeah. You can listen to music. Yeah. You can make American friends. You can listen to music when you watch TV. You listen to... Some other person. Yeah. I mean, I think listening has to be interesting. Okay. People. Okay. If you mean like that, it's true. We have different thoughts, different opinions there. Because you consider that movie and music is something coming from people. So you're listening to people. Ah, I see it. I was thinking like an attorney. He's Swiss. He has to be precise. So, but that is listening to people through... You can just see the phonetic to understand... Okay. And then what about the next one? What about the next one there, Julia? Most young people in my country communicate well in English. I agree. Agree. Yeah. Everyone? No, I can't. They can't. So you would say the opposite of can, right? Yeah. They can't. Can't? Okay. They can't. And most people you said in Italy cannot? No. Okay. They're going back. Programs. School programs. They're very bad. They just learn new things, new things. Okay. In other countries are you saying they can? Yeah. They can. They can. And they can learn new things. Yeah. So how long was... How long? How long? Yeah. How long? So, two numbers. At what age? Today, very. About... I have a... Mrs. Yes. And I was like... 10 years older. 10 years older. Speak almost the best... So you would say she... So you would say she what? Can could or has been able to? And she... But you would say she... If you said she blank since she was maybe five or six years old. So she can could or be able to? Actually, can. Okay. Well, can would be more present, right? Yeah. So we're talking about the past, right? Or in the future, but you could say she what? Has been... Correct. Right? Has been able to speak English since she was maybe five? What about the difficult point? Depend on the past. Okay. You've just studied for a long time. You're interested at the language part of life. No. Okay. What about the next one there? Abdul? I don't know. I'm trying to understand English just by watching TV and English. That's true. I agree. You agree? I agree. Does everyone agree that that's possible? So if you don't just... Child can learn English just by watching TV in English. No, no, just... Okay. So that's not possible. Yeah. So you would say a child... How would you reword that sentence? A child... Can. Can't, right? Can't, in my English, by just watching TV in English. Very good. What about 14 there of this? I would teach her. You can influence how much you enjoy a language. Yes. I agree. I agree. I agree. We agree? Yes. Yes. Okay. And why do we say that? I would teach her. I think she has to learn easy or fastest. More efficient. Okay. Very good point. Very good point. So they have a lot of... They can, but they aren't able to control that. They influence that. And then the last one there, Hulia. To be able to communicate rather than a formal language pronunciation and to take it over, you're more important than grammar. I disagree. Because you need the grammar to make the sentences right. What do we think? I don't need to know the grammar because you need to know the situation, the tense if you are in the past or the present or the future. If you know who's real about the future, you know who's the better in the past to talk about the past. Maybe the other people don't understand. Yeah. Or... So the question is, to be able to communicate well. Yeah. Maybe it's the band. Maybe here is the vocal. Okay. My opinion. Very good. You can't communicate or just talk at before. If you talk to another foreigner, it's more easy to understand one of them. It's important to know the grammar too. Yeah. Very good. Very good. So... In my case, I never... I studied English when I was a child. And then I never used it to communicate. Okay. I have one out to live in Canada. I have uncles and cousins. And I can't talk to them. And I feel it in bed. My sadness, no. I studied in a child. And I come here sometimes a year. And I go, come on. I don't know English. I can't understand. I can't understand. But I can't speak. And I don't know. I need to study. So would you be able to talk to me? When I arrived here, I... I morphed into grammar. My grammar was zero. And now I stay here for two months. Okay. I'm very proud of my grammar because I grew a lot. I didn't love to take a... I think of my teacher, helped me a lot. Sandy, she's a better teacher. And she writes on the board a lot. And it's very good for me. And I go back to Brazil. Very good. So is there a condition that would be met for you to speak with your family better? My family is at home. So you would say... My friends in Brazil are in another meeting. And it was your aunt or your sister again? What was it, your sister or your aunt? Or my aunt. Your aunt? Yeah, living chemical. Okay. You say aunt or... Um... So that brings up the perfect sentence, right? So you would say, I blank speak English with my aunt if I learned English. If I learned English, right? So this is a condition. The condition is if I learned English, right? So what would you put here? Could, right? Very good. Could. So that's why we can use could as a condition, right? I could speak English with my aunt if I learned English. I can't speak English with her because I don't... I do not know English. Or I did not. So in the past, you would say, you would have said I can't speak English with my aunt because I don't know English. And then you would say, well, I could speak English with my aunt if I learned English, right? And so that's how that works exactly. So one of the last things I wanted to do was I wanted you to think on this topic. I wanted you to think of the two or three most important things in order that you will be able to do that you will be able to do after learning English. To you, what are the three most important... Two or three most important things in order? You can also change your sentence. Like if I had learned English, I might be able to speak with my aunt. But you said had, so that would be... You would have to say I might... If I had learned English, I might have been able to. But you're changing the tense, right? Yeah, exactly. So I want you to think of the... I'm wondering, I want you to think of the two or three most important things that you will be able to do. So again, that's the future, right? After learning English, is it? So I'll give you an example. Maybe it is I will be able to get a better job. I will be able to make more friends. I will be able to travel. I will be... So like those types of examples, what will you be able to do after learning English? Because you learned English. So I'll give you just a few minutes, just two or three minutes, maybe three or four minutes to think about that. So let's go over the examples that you guys had there. For the two or three most important things after you learned English language. So what did you guys have? A good job. A prize for many children. And myself. So travel, good job, and yourself? In that order? Travel, good job, and yourself? Good job is the first. Good job is the first? For traveling. For traveling? Yeah. Okay. For communication. Okay, so you can get a good job, you can travel, you can talk to people, so you want to be able to... You want to be able to, right? So without that, would you say that you can't? Without English language? Yes, I can. Okay. What other things do we have in the same? Yeah. But I can... I can myself, but you're always taking me to the fish. But I never go up, I think. Okay. Any other ideas? Traveling, talking with foreign people. Getting new jobs? Okay. So the same... So we all have the same ideas. We want to be able to get a good job, travel, and talk to people. I would say. Okay, good. So we want to be able to do that. And after we learn, we can do that, right? Good. All right. So today we went over Ken, we went over Be Able To, we went over Could, and those show what? What do they show? Possibility, and opportunities. And abilities. Very good. All right, guys. So that will be the end of the class today. I think everyone did very well. Thank you guys. And again, I will see you tomorrow. I will see you tomorrow. Have a good day.
