The Football English course is designed to provide you with the language needed to communicate on the training ground and on the football pitch – whether you are playing or watching.
You will learn basic vocabulary to help you to play or watch the game as well as more complex idioms, expressions and phrasal verbs that will help you to understand British people who talk about the game.

- Be able to talk confidently about football matches and players
