Learn English Through Football Language Podcast: 2023 Women’s World Cup In Numbers
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 rather grey London – a big difference from earlier in the week when I was in a very, very hot Madrid. I wonder what the weather is like in Tokyo where the other member of the Languagecaster team Damon is based? And Damon has been busy over the past couple of weeks with podcasts around the the phrases ‘nosebleed‘ and ‘to pen in‘. Come along to the site to hear those and of course don’t forget to access all of our other football-language podcasts – we have hundreds of them that date back over 15 years by simply coming along to Languagecaster.com.
