Learn English Through Football

What a week of football we’ve had! On the show today, Damon and Damian review the footballing news, including Liverpool’s demolition job on Roma and semi-final ‘blues’. In the predictions section we focus on teams struggling to avoid the drop, and we have some football language, too – this week give the keeper the eyes. For those wishing to improve their English, there’s a transcript to the show below and if you have questions or comments, email us at: admin@languagecaster.com (Damian=DF, Damon=DB).

Transcript of the show
DB: You are listening to languagecaster.com. Hiya everyone. Welcome to our learn English through football podcast. Good to have you with us. My name’s Damon, and I live in Tokyo, Japan, which is currently enjoying some beautiful sunny, hot spring weather. Now, across continents is Damian in London. Damian, how are things?
DF: Hi Damon, hi everyone. Not too bad Damon – a busy week at work and still trying to get over the disappointment of last week’s football. You, however, must be feeling pretty happy after Liverpool’s win mid-week?
DB: I certainly am – wow, what a game! Unbelievable! And that Champions League semi-final match will feature in our first section today – the good, the bad and the ugly, I’m sure. Now, what else is on the show Damian?
DF: As you said, we’ll start with a chat about what’s been happening in the football world in our review section; our quiz question this week is about goalkeepers (here is a listening report on goalkeepers from 2012) and that comes before our football language section, and today we’ll explain the phrase to give the keeper the eyes. And we’ll wrap up the show with predictions, which feature some of the teams facing relegation in the Premier League those who are in the drop zone.
