If You Are Thinking of Going to England to see a Match
make sure you know the language!
Många svenskar åker över till England och ser en fotbollsmatch. För många är det höjdpunkten av året att kunna se och uppleva en match live. Men det kan vara svårt att riktigt hänga med när det gäller språket. De flesta svenskar tala utmärkt engelska men när det kommer till en fotbollsmatch kan det skilja sig en hel del från den engelska man lärde sig i skolan.
