Are you football-mad? Do you follow Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea and all the rest? Do you want to learn the vocabulary to understand English football commentary on TV and the debate around it? Then this is the course for you! Beginner students (A1-A2) will learn the important words to talk about themselves and their love of football, such as present simple to introduce themselves, present continuous to talk about their actions when playing the beautiful game, past simple to talk about important events in their lives and football history, positions on the pitch, likes and dislikes to talk about their opinions, and future plans. Higher levels (B1+) will watch match highlights and discuss the hot topics of the day in both the mainstream media and social media. We will discover and analyse the rich tapestry of football idioms and expressions, and put the beautiful game into historical perspective of more than 150 years of English football.

Join me on a musical adventure! We will listen to, and discuss, Rolling Stones, through Black Sabbath, Sex Pistols and Oasis, but we will also go much deeper into British music, uncovering hidden gems and secrets. We will also move onto more contemporary music and a snapshot of the UK nowadays. Learn about British rock 'n' roll, punk, heavy metal - but not only! British music also has its own styles of reggae, hip hop and electronic music, which can teach us a lot about the current state of the nation. Music is also an insight into the culture of the time, so fashions, society and even politics will be included in our conversations. We will listen to personally curated and tailored playlists, study lyrics and consider what this meant for UK culture at the time and now. Expect to learn vocabulary for describing likes and likes (going beyond "I like" and "I don't like"), different adjectives for songs (more than "good" and "bad"), as well as practising conditionals ("if I go, there will be trouble"), and a variety of verb tenses that come up while listening to music ("I used to listen to music like this", "I have never heard anything like this before").
