In this week's Premier Skills English podcast, Rich and Jack talk about some of the latest transfers in the Premier League and Saturday's Manchester Derby which puts Jose Mourinho up against Pep Guardiola for the first time as manager's of United and City. The language focus is on used to for past states and repeated actions as Jack talks about when he lived in Manchester. In our pronunciation section, we have a look at the difference between voiced and voiceless sounds with an emphasis on the /s/ and /z/ sounds. We also have news about our Premier Skills Fantasy Football team, your chance to make a prediction on the Manchester Derby and a new football phrase for you to guess.
