Learn English with the British Council and Premier League

In this week's Premier Skills English Podcast, Jack and Rich are talking about football kits. Rich has a new Liverpool shirt, but Jack prefers an Arsenal hat and scarf to the shirt. The language focus is on words and phrases we use to describe football kits: the colours, patterns and designs can sometimes be quite complicated to explain. Your task is to design your perfect football shirt. As always, we also have a new football phrase for you to guess at the end of the podcast. Enjoy!

In this week's Premier Skills English Podcast, Jack and Rich say goodbye to the World Cup in Russia. Jack didn't watch the World Cup Final because he got the kick-off time wrong so Rich sums up what happened. The language focus is on summarising skills and they talk about what you need to do to give a good summary for someone and also look at lots of words and phrases you can use when summarising something. They also take a look at some common collocations with the words 'match' and 'game'. Your task is to write a summary of a football match or tournament, a book or a film or a recent news story. As always, we also have a new football phrase for you to guess at the end of the podcast. Enjoy!
