About this episode
In this week's Premier Skills English Podcast, Rich has injured his ankle and Jack is feeling ill. The language focus is on vocabulary connected to injury and illness and phrases we use to say we're feeling better. Your task is to tell us about a sports injury you suffered in the past. Don't forget to listen to the end of the podcast because we have a new football phrase for you to guess.
