How it works. Each set is one episode of a continuing story set at the front desk of the Riverside Hostel in Bangkok, where a young receptionist named Ning meets travelers from around the world. Every episode practices the grammar people need for one real purpose, such as asking for help, giving directions, making suggestions, or apologizing. Read the whole conversation first, then choose.

Ning: We’re planning a new breakfast menu. Would you rather rice soup or toast in the morning?
Grace: I’d rather have rice soup toast. It’s lighter.
Pedro: And I prefer coffee tea, as you know.
Aiko: Really? I green tea.
Ji-woo: Do you have fruit? I’d prefer something healthy.
Ning: Of course. What kind of fruit you like?
Ji-woo: Mango, if possible. I’d rather not pineapple.
Minjun: Now, for our weekend trip, would you prefer the beach the mountains?
Grace: I’d rather go somewhere cool. I hot weather.
Pedro: I’m the opposite. I’d much rather on a beach than walk up a hill.
Aiko: Can we do both? I’d we went to Hua Hin, which has beaches and hills.
Ning: Good idea. Would you prefer to go by train by bus?
Minjun: Train, definitely. Buses make me .
Ji-woo: Same here. I’d rather spend more money feel sick.
Grace: Do you mind we leave early?
Pedro: Not at all. I’d rather early than get stuck in traffic.
Ning: So, the eight o’clock train. Does everyone with that?
All: Yes!
Ning: Great. I the tickets this afternoon.
Aiko: Ning, would you like us?
Ning: I’d love to, but I’d rather not my shift. Maybe next time!
