Confusing English Verbs | GO & COME
source: mmmEnglish 2018年3月15日
I can already hear you saying... "Emma! Go and Come? These verbs are easy!" You're right - they are simple verbs.
But they actually have very similar meanings. And for that reason, they are often used incorrectly by English learners!
In this lesson, we’ll take a close look at the differences, so that you can feel more confident when you use them.
How to ask for PERMISSION
source: Crown Academy of English 2018年3月20日
In this English speaking lesson, you will learn several ways to ask for permission:
“May I” is the most correct way to ask for permission in traditional English.
In theory, in strict English, we do NOT use “can” for permission. Normally, we use “can” to describe ability and opportunity.
However, in practice, in modern English, people use the modal "can" to ask for and describe permission.
“Could I” is more formal than “Can I”
We also have the following structures: "Do you mind if" and "Is it alright if?"
In this English class, you will also learn how to reply to requests for permission. You will learn several expressions to say yes, to say no politely and also to say no reluctantly.
There are many examples in the video with a very detailed explanation of each one. I advise you to watch it, listen to the pronunciation and take notes.

Understand Americans in Conf Calls - Business English lessons
source: Speak English with Christina 2018年3月20日
Learn techniques to understand American colleagues in conf calls--save time, money, and embarrassment!
HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
1. Use an agenda, that you prepare BEFORE your conf call. This makes it easier to follow the discussion.
2. Use what you already know about the context to help you understand. DO NOT try to understand every word. This makes it more difficult and tiring.
3. Ask for clarification. In the episode, you get 3 expressions to ask for clarification the same way native speakers do (because sometimes we don't understand too!)
4. Transcribe the conf call (or at least the most difficult / important parts). I recommend the site rev.com for quick, inexpensive transcription services.
