The teachers kick start the podcast by introducing themselves as a former video game lover--who is Teacher Mina and a former story-teller--who is Teacher Marilou. They then share more details about it. Teacher Marilou uses this introduction as a stepping stone to highlighting the use of "could" to talk about your past abilities. She explains that "could" is a modal verb which you can use to talk about skills that you used to have. Teacher Marilou also introduces the question form and the short answer forms of "could." Teacher Mina takes over the pronunciation part and introduces the schwa sound because this sound is used to pronounce the word "could." She also introduces how native English speakers drop the /d/ when "could" is followed by a sound that has a similar placement with the /d/ sound. There is also the blending of /d/ sound with /y/ sound which results to for example: could you -> /ku-jjoo/. Tune in for more! Go to our website exl-english.com for a free trial lesson.
