Learn English Through Football Language Podcast: Survival
DF: Hello again everyone and welcome to Languagecaster.com – the football-language podcast for learners and teachers of English. I’m Damian and I’m here in a very sunny London, while of course the other member of the languagecaster team is Damon who is based in Tokyo, Japan. You should check out his recent post on our website around the phrase ‘to fluff‘ when used in football from a couple of weeks ago. Now, apologies for not having a podcast last week – it’s been a little busy here in London but on today’s show we look back at one of the key words from the final day of the season here in England: survival.
