Hi there everyone and welcome to the Learn English Through Football podcast; the podcast for all those who love the beautiful game of football and who are aiming to improve their English language skills. My name is Damian and I am based here in London where there are hints of Spring! The mid-week winter break is over and we return this weekend with some big matches indeed, including the London derby between Spurs and Chelsea and Everton’s trip to Arsenal. Down the line in Tokyo in Damon? Damon, has spring sprung?
