Course Summary:

There is no doubt that sports are a huge part of American life and thus it is no surprise that American English is filled with phrases related to sporting events as language and culture are intertwined. In this interactive session, participants will work on recognizing, deciphering and finding strategies to interpret and translate some of the more common (and a few of the more esoteric) sports analogies and metaphors used in business, law, medicine and almost every other walk of life.
