English Through Football Podcast – March 2020 Update: As we all know, there is there is hardly any football being played around the world at this time but the Learn English Through Football team will continue to produce our football language podcasts – a great resource for learners and teachers of English who love football, soccer, voetbal, Fußball, calcio, サッカー, fútbol or however you call the beautiful game. In this short podcast we update listeners about some of the resources we have for learners and teachers of English. You can listen to the podcast by clicking on the file below – you can also subscribe and listen to all our football-language podcasts – there are hundreds of them! If you’d like to show your support for what we do then think about becoming a patron (through Patreon). There is a transcript for this show which may help you to improve your language skills by reading as you listen, or if you are a teacher of English you can use the transcript to make different kinds of activities for your learners.

Learn English Through Football Podcast: March 2020 Update

Introduction

DF: Hello everybody, this is Damian from the languagecaster team and you are listening to the Learn English Through Football Podcast. We hope you are all well and keeping safe wherever you are around the world during this difficult time. I am in London where the weather is clear and sunny but still a little chilly. Now obviously there is no football going on at the moment as nearly all leagues around the world have been postponed – they have stopped – due to the outbreak of Coronavirus but the team here at languagecaster – that’s Damon in Tokyo and myself in London – thought we’d continue producing our football language podcasts over the next few weeks in which we discuss some of the words, phrases, cliches, expressions and sayings from the beautiful game of football. We will also continue to add content to our football language website – languagecaster.com – so this means football language quizzes, posts that explain some football phrases, asking and answering questions on our football language forum and of course updating our huge football language glossary in which we currently have hundreds of entries. Please come along to our site here at languagecaster.com where we have huge amounts of football language content that will (hopefully) be useful for learners and teachers of English who love the beautiful game of football.

Stinger: My name is Theodora, I’m from Greece my favourite team is Olympiakos and you are listening to languagecaster.com

DF: Now, during this time of self isolation, in which many people have to stay at home, we thought we’d try to do a little spring cleaning on our website so you will notice that we are starting to tidy, update, edit and even delete some of the content on our site.
