[Grammar] Use of can, could, will, would

[novicesince1977]

I am confused about the correct the use of will, would when talking about future.

I will like to do it
I would like to do it.

To me, both mean same. What is the difference between them. I will appreciate, if the explanation come with some examples.

Thanks

In learning English, I've noticed that auxiliaries are troublesome, aren't they?

In your sentences, "will" and "would" have something to do with probability/possibilty. "Will" is implying certainty, but "would" is giving less certainty.

Note I am neither an English teacher, nor an English speaker. I may be wrong.
