Learning Vocabulary: Connection problems

JACK RADFORD
About this episode
In this week's Premier Skills English Podcast, Rich and Jack call their boss and have a few technical problems with Skype. Can they get their microphones and cameras to work properly? The language focus is on words and phrases connected to online calls. In this week's task, we want you to tell us about a time you had a technical problem with an online call or a funny story you've heard in the news connected to online calls. Don't forget to listen to the end of the podcast because we have a new football phrase for you to guess.
