In this lesson, Shana from Espresso English explains the difference between 'I like' and 'I'd like'. 'I like' is used for general preferences and can be followed by either the infinitive or gerund form of a verb.

Shana provides examples and tips on using these phrases correctly, highlights the subtle pronunciation differences, and promotes her English speaking course for further learning.
