Practice Spanish for Sports: Core Verbs, Results & Fan Vocabulary

About this episode

You don't need sport-specific vocabulary to hold a sports conversation in Spanish — you need the universal patterns. Ana runs ten blocks of universal sports Spanish: the four core verbs (jugar, practicar, entrenar, competir), results vocabulary (ganar, perder, empatar, clasificar, quedar eliminado), level phrases (principiante, amateur, profesional), event words (la temporada, el campeonato, el Mundial), fan culture (hincha, aficionado, seguidor, forofo), and the sports idioms that cross into everyday Spanish — jugar limpio, sudar la camiseta, no tirar la toalla, darlo todo. Every term drilled with a real sentence. Learn these patterns once and you can talk about any sport, anywhere in the Spanish-speaking world.

The full illustrated comic, study guide, transcript, audio & vocab are in the pack.
