In this week's Premier Skills English Podcast, Jack wants to host a dinner with family & friends at his house but everyone seems to be too busy. The language focus is on verb-noun collocations to describe free-time activities and phrases we use to invite people to events and polite ways of saying no to invitations. Your task is to organise an event in your house, city or country and invite other listeners to your event. Don't forget to listen to the end of the podcast because we have a new football phrase for you to guess. Enjoy!
