We have a great listener question that is likely something that you have wondered about yourself. <\/p>\n

\n

Hi girls, <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m Juan Pablo from Colombia but you can call me Juanpis like everyone calls me. I\u2019ve been listening to your podcast for two months, and it\u2019s impressive to see how my listening skills have improved since then. Your podcast really helps and pays off in my speaking! <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve heard some sport idioms used on some of your shows, which I find to be very helpful. My professional career is focused on sports, and this is a big part of my life. I love sports and they are a part of my life, both personally and professionally. So I am wondering if you ladies can throw a few more sports idioms out there. It would help me to know a few more and to be able to use them in conversation too. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks in advance, I just love you ladies and your show! <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A Follow Up On A Common Topic<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This is a great question, as it helps to take us into an area of conversation that is so common. <\/p>\n

Sports idioms exist more in conversations than you might realize, and therefore you want to know how to use them. <\/p>\n

Sometimes we do episodes focused on a topic and there is so much more to share. <\/p>\n

This is a perfect example of that, so please feel free to always ask us for more of a topic that is of interest to you. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to share all idioms of a category in one episode, so to know that you want more is really helpful for us in our planning. <\/p>\n

This question is a great example of something that there is so much more to cover, and we are thrilled to answer such a question. <\/p>\n

Today we are going to keep it super focused to one sport, just to make it more concise and helpful. <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s an episode that we did in the past which may be very helpful for you to check out first:<\/p>\n
