DC Fluency

In this episode we will talk about 1 of the 7 components of fluency (softening). And focus on a flavor of softening “accusations”

There are many ways of showing emphasis in English: Intonation, grammar, vocabulary etc.

We all know that very is used to emphasize an adjective. For example, I am VERY cold. However in this episode I want to teach you that there are different ways of saying VERY. In fact, almost every adjective has its own “word” that replaces very. This adds an extra punch to what you are saying.

Hello my students! In this English podcast we are going to learn about softeners. Why is COULD and WOULD more polite than CAN? How do softeners make us sound more native?
