1021 - Win, Lose, Beat - How to Talk About Sports in English

from Happy English Podcast · host Michael Digiacomo Happy English

Game. Match. Two simple words, right?But then when you watch sports in English, you understand the game… but not always the language.Which one should you use? Sometimes I hear people say things like, “I watched a baseball match,” and yeah… it’s understandable, but not so natural.So what’s the difference? When do you say game, and when do you say match? And how do native speakers actually talk about sports in everyday English? How about win, lose and beat? That’s what we’re going to look at today.The Happy English PodcastHelping people speak English better since 2014Over 1,000 episodes • 8 million downloads📘 Get free weekly English lessons plus instant access to my FREE Vocabulary Workshop.:https://learn.myhappyenglish.com/free-english-lessons🎥 Watch video versions of the Happy English Podcast on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@HappyEnglishNY/podcasts🌐 Learn more about my English lessons and courseshttps://www.myhappyenglish.com
