The Michel Thomas Dutch course has about 200 words. I think if you added 100 footballing terms to that you would be ok. Edited by schoenewaelder on 31 March 2011 at 3:37pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I don't know really, but you need to start with some pretty basic vocabulary. The MT course only has about 30 verbs and ten nouns, so your lacking essential things like "run, jump, foot, ball". Edited by schoenewaelder on 31 March 2011 at 6:35pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I remember that article in The Times they listed all the common words related to football and the media surrounding it. Example words included millionaire, scandal, foul, affair, prostitute, etc. Funnily enough not many of them were specific to football :-)

Italians love to make things more colorful. Like when we say "I've been waiting for the bus for three hours". It's not true, but it's not a lie either. :D
