Learn English with the British Council and Premier League episodes

August 21, 2020 English & the UK - Leeds
In this week's Premier Skills English Podcast, Jack, Rowan and Rich revisit our series of podcasts called 'English & the UK' which focus on Premier League cities. The city they are visiting in this episode is Leeds and the language focus is on words and phrases connected to visiting a city. In the roleplay this week, Rowan visits Leeds city centre and has a few problems with the accent. Your task is to recommend things to do and see for a visitor to your city. Don't forget to listen to the end of the podcast because we have a new football phrase for you to guess, too.
