Good morning team! ¡Buenas días todos! If you ever call a call center, the customer service agent will most likely use some of these phrases! So take a second to study them because they are important and good to know! 😃
These phrases are common greetings and questions used in business or formal settings. You wouldn’t use them with your friends.
The phrase “be willing” means to be “ready, eager, or prepared to do something”. For example:
- Are you willing to study harder?
- Is he willing to try out the challenge?
- Are they willing to do me a favor?
“To be of service” and “to be of assistance” mean the same thing!
“May I” means “do I have your permission to…?”. For example:
- Dad, may I go to the dance?
- May I take a picture of you?
- May I kiss you?
- May I be excused now?

Every day at Fluenteam we receive writing responses from students. People of all levels are encouraged to participate.
Writing is one of the best ways to learn a language. In this prompt, one of our students accidentally mixed up the verb “fell” with “feel”. But because they made the mistake, our Fluenteam teacher was able to explain the difference between the two words.
Keep up the great work everyone!
Let us know in the comments section if you have any questions!
Where do I find these writing prompts? Each lesson ends with a question for students to respond to. www.Fluenteam.com/learn
Listening exercise!
Good morning everyone! Today is Tuesday April 27. In today’s lesson we feature some news about the pandemic. Listen to Alan’s voice and see how many words you can understand! He speaks pretty fast ;)
Vocabulary note:
In English, to “work from home” is the common term used to describe people who can work in their house rather than go into the office. Many people like working from home because it 1) saves them a lot of commute time, 2) they don’t have to dress up for work, and 3) they can be more productive since they don’t experience the distractions of the office.
If you like working from, leave us a comment below and tell us why!

In today’s lesson, we review possessive contractions. These are extremely useful in English as they allow people to speak quicker!
But Beware! Contractions do not exist in Spanish, French, or Italian. Possessive apostrophes are quite unique to the English language. For example, it’s common in America and England to use it in business names:
Hershey’s Chocolate Candy
Macy’s Clothing Store
Dick’s Sporting Goods
Ray’s Pizza
But the pronunciation of the « ‘s » sound can be quite tricky, which is why we added a lot of pronunciation and listening exercises for you all. Check it out! Let us know if you have any questions!

We see people mess up “to do” and “to make” all the time when talking about chores and housework.
A good rule is that for most things, use “to do”! When talking about the bed and meals, use “to make”.
To see more examples, check out Monday, April 19th’s lesson. Here it is: www.fluenteam.com/learn/apr-19-2021
Our teachers are here to help you! Enjoy!

In today’s lesson, we take a break from the grammar and instead share a couple stories. The topic? Love and relationships.
Check out today’s lesson to read a short story about two people who fell in love when they were young and then reconnected as adults after many years apart.
Learning Tip: If there are many vocabulary words you don’t know in this lesson, don’t worry! Learning a language is a gradual process. Have fun, and don’t be overwhelmed by the grammar. It’s a good habit to look up any new words and write them down in a notebook 📓.
**At Fluenteam, we believe learning through short stories is more beneficial to students than trying to memorize grammar**

Hello everyone, it’s Tuesday April 6, 2021! In today’s lesson we try to give you all more practice with the Present Perfect Continuous Tense. Also called the “Present Perfect Progressive Tense”.
In English, we use this tense A LOT. This tense exists in Spanish, but Germans and French don’t use at all!
We use this tense to describe actions from the past that are either still happening in the present, or having effects on the present situation.
Let’s look at these two examples:
1) Have you been sleeping well?

Hi everyone, welcome back to another week with Fluenteam.
In today’s lesson, we cover the Present Perfect Continuous Tense, which is used to talk about actions in the past that still have effects on the present situation.
The structure of this tense is:
Subject + have/has + verb (with -ing)
I have been eating.
You have been talking.
She has been learning.
It has been failing.
He has been walking.
They have been working.
We have been thinking.
Today we will focus on memorizing the conjugations, and later this week we will talk more about what situations we use this tense. Learning is a process! Enjoy!
