If english is not your first or main language , you will naturally follow the World Cup coverage in your own language. But try to take some time and look at the english language coverage as well. Since you will already know what has happened,it should not be too difficult. You will be surprised at how much your can learn in a short time. The fastest way to prepare is with my book "World Cup English". There you will learn the basic language of football and also the language sports writers typically use to describe the competition. The book is in both English and Thai so you can work you way through it quite quickly. You can also listen to the English texts and this will help you to remember what you have learned. Actually, World Cup coverage has already begun. At the moment , the stories centre on international friendlies,preparations for the World Cup, features on key players and,of course, assessments of the chances of each competing country's team. Soon teams will be arriving in Brazil and you will see more stories about that country and the cities that will host the matches. Then the competition begins. We'll be there watching every day.
