No matter whether you call it football or soccer, there’s no denying that association football is one of the most popular sports in the world. In fact, with an estimated 250 million active players in over 200 countries, it might just be the most popular sport around the globe. That means, no matter where you go, you’re likely to come across a footie fan or two. So, why not make sure you’ve got something to talk about?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re looking to make a friend when you’re speaking a new language, it’s always good to start on common ground. That’s why we’ve added some ultra-specific topics to the uTalk app \u2013 things like Skiing, Sailing, and Football Commentary. These topics give you specialised vocabulary and phrases that should make breaking the ice that bit easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The most popular sport in the world, football is enjoyed by people of all cultures and languages. Even if they don’t enjoy it, the people you meet will probably have an opinion on it! It makes sense, then, to learn a few words and phrases that might come in handy, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve taken some vocabulary from our Football Commentary and Football Match Abroad topics and arranged them so you can get started in just about any football conversation. There are even some phrases that you’ll find useful if you happen to visit a match in a country where the language you’re learning is spoken. Don’t forget \u2013 if you download our app, you’ll also get all the audio that goes along with these!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are certain people you might want to talk about when you’re discussing a match. The referee is an important one, but you can also mention the players, goalkeeper, and fans watching at their home ground or away at the other team’s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t
