great conversation by learning how to pronounce
all the words correctly. Skip it.

10

practice it. This is where you have

11

com. Hello and welcome to Beginner's English

15
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:19.319
lesson fifteen. Today we will learn
about asking for and giving directions. Let's

16
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:30.239
look at conversation fifteen, line two, Yes this is main street. Speaker

17
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:41.920
B is answering a question positively yes
this is. The negative answer would be

18
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:51.280
no, this is not main street. We put not after the verb.

19
00:01:53.239 --> 00:02:01.519
Another way to answer would be no, this isn't main street, is and

20
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:15.759
not combine to make the contraction isn't. Let's practice answering yes and no questions.

21
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:27.719
Is this a shirt? Yes,
this is negative answer, No this

22
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:38.639
is not. Is this your house? Yes this is negative answer, no

23
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:49.520
this is not? Or no this
isn't. Let's look at line four of

24
00:02:49.599 --> 00:03:00.879
the conversation. Lights and right both
follow the same spelling pattern. Remember when

25
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:09.560
you see I g H, you
pronounce it I. What is a light?

26
00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:21.120
A light tells the traffic when to
go and when to stop. We

27
00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:31.120
use red for stop, yellow for
slow, and green for go. Another

28
00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:40.879
way to say light is stop light
or traffic light. Let's look at the

29
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:58.039
last line of this conversation. Underground
underground means below the ground. The opposite

30
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:13.759
is a of ground. How is
ground spelled g r O U N d

31
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:27.120
o U makes the sound how some
other examples of words that have ow,

32
00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:38.680
our, mouse, how, and
house. The ow sound is spelled o

33
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:50.879
U mouse, m o U s
e, how, c o u c

34
00:04:53.079 --> 00:05:03.680
h house h o U s e. Let's look at the last part of

35
00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:14.800
the last line. You'll see it. You'll is a contraction or you will

36
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:23.480
will is used to talk about the
future. You will see it in the

37
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:33.040
future, you will see it soon, you will see it. Another example,

38
00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:44.040
I will go to the train station
tomorrow. I will go is for

39
00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:51.920
the future. You will eat pasta
tomorrow. Will is for the future.

40
00:05:55.000 --> 00:06:03.240
Practice your conversation with your conversation partner
goodbye. It's invisible but very powerful.

41
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:11.360
It is intangible but can change lives, build bridges, open up new worlds,

42
00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:18.319
bring about new opportunities. It creates
friendships, makes new love stories possible,

43
00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:24.759
and builds careers. It's fluency and
it is accelerated when you have the
