About this episode

In this week's Premier Skills English Podcast, Jack and Rich talk about Christmas in the UK. Rich and Jack are both preparing for the Christmas holidays, but one of them is much more traditional than the other. Learn about some of the traditions and customs in the UK at Christmas time and learn some of the more unusual words connected to a British Christmas. Your task this week is to tell us about what you know about Christmas in the UK and tell us about a celebration or custom in your country. Don't forget to have a guess at this week's football phrase and if you get it right we'll announce your name in the next podcast. Enjoy!
