This is a question, Michael:
Are there English courses for understanding sports? Are there by sport? By American sports? Worldwide sports?
I´ve tried to practice my listening by watching and hearing baseball and american football, and it´s a headache! There´s a lot new words at once and when I begin to catch on, the next movement is on in the event.
The best thing would be to speak english like a CNN or Foxsport announcer, find a radio baseball broadcast and enjoy it.
By the way, my favorite sport is BASEBALL !! Dodgers, Dodgers, Dodgers !!
Good question. Maybe I need to create that kind of lesson 🙂
