conditional sentences(1st and 2nd)


Hello, guys! This is Kate. Hope you are doing just fine. And today we’re going back to conditional sentences. This is part two and if you haven’t listened to the first podcast, it’s highly recommended to go back and take a look at them.

Alright, today’s podcast is about the 1st and 2nd conditionals. 
First of all let’s revise the first conditional. As you remember, we use it to talk about the future. Here are some examples for you to refresh your memory:

-If you study hard, you’ll enter the university.
-She will be happy if she earns outrageous sums of money.

I hope you remembered this one guys, because we’re going straight to the second conditional.

Why do we need it? To talk about present events which are almost impossible.

Here are a couple of examples:

If I could go anywhere, I would go to South Korea.
If I had more money, I would travel a lot.
I would drop out of my university if my parents didn’t pay for it.


Let’s take a look at the structure:

If+Past Simple, S+would+V1.
And vice versa
S+would+V1 | If+Past Simple(if the sentence is reversed, we don’t use a comma!)



I hope it was useful, it was nice to share this info with you. Feel free to book lessons with me. Thank you and see you later!

I'm going to talk about five surprising items that are uniquely Korean or at least much easier to find in Korea than almost anywhere else.

Between Seoul and Soul

EP1: Unbelievable Items You'll Find in Korea 

I remember seeing an exhibition of photographs a few years ago about the way war has affected my city, Bath. It was very powerful and made me more aware of the reality of war - the images of destruction were of places I know well. One of the photographs moved me to tears.

A painting that cheers me up is Sunflowers by Vincent Van Gogh. The flower is a symbol of
happiness, and it was painted at a time when Van Gogh was feeling optimistic about the future. He painted the flowers many times, but one of the original paintings is in the National Gallery in London where I often go and look at it.

Art and artist

SANDRA: So … what should we do?
JULIE: Well, I like to do arts and crafts, and I’m really good at
drawing. What do you think?
SANDRA: Hmm … how about playing a board game? That would 
be more fun.
JULIE: OK. Let’s play Scrabble! I’m really good at spelling, too!
SANDRA: Oh, yeah? We’ll see about that!

LANGUAGE NOTES
• So … Notice how the “o” sound is drawn out here, combined with the intonation, which 
shows boredom.
• I’m really good at “Really” means “very” and is used to emphasize “good.” It goes before 
the adjective.
• What do you Notice the pronunciation here — it sounds like “Whaddaya.”
• Hmm … is used to show that the speaker is thinking. It is also used to show that the speaker 
disagrees with an idea.
• How about is used to make a tentative suggestion. The speaker is introducing an idea and 
doesn’t want to sound too strong.
• Let’s is used to make a strong suggestion. The speaker feels confident about the plan.
• Oh, yeah? We’ll see about that! “Oh, yeah?” is used in a joking way to show a bit of friendly 
competition. Notice the emphasis on “that,” which refers back to “good at spelling.”

こんにちは！Atsushiです。

今回は、日本のカフェやレストランで聞く言葉について話します。
これは、先日レッスンをしていた時に出てきたトピックです。
おもしろいですし、とっさに聞くと困ると思うので、いくつか紹介しますね！


店内けっこう混み合ってるんですけど、大丈夫ですか？
こんな言葉を聞いたことがありますか？
意味は、店の席がほとんどあいていませんが、良いですか？
店内で飲みますか？食べますか？席はありますか？
というような意味ですね。

これは、たとえばカフェに行きます。
席がほとんどうまっています。
そんな時に、店員さんから聞かれると思います。

この時には、席はとったので大丈夫です。とか、
持ち帰りにします、とか
店員さんに言ってください。

僕は以前、コーヒーショップで20年働いていたので、このようなことをお客さんによく聞いていました。

満席に近いですが、お席取られていますか？とか、
席がほとんど埋まっていますので、先に席取ってくださいね、とか
今は席がいっぱいなので、持ち帰りでもよろしいでしょうか、などと
いうことが多かったです。

コーヒーショップは平日の朝や夜遅くは空いていますが、平日の昼から夕方、土日は1日中、席がいっぱい、満席なことが多いですね。

もし旅行で日本に来た時は、午前中にカフェに行く方がいいですよ！
席もあいているし、ゆっくりできます。


カフェやレストランでの会話や、コーヒーのことなど話したい方は、ぜひオンラインレッスンでお話ししましょう！

ということで、今回は、カフェなどで聞く言葉、について話しました。
最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！

ではまた！
