For those of you who wish to take the opportunity to improve your language skills, we hope you find the specialist sports vocabulary and the dialogues helpful. For native speakers of English there are some basic phrases in different languages that you might find useful when communicating with your fellow athletes and people from other countries. The London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games has been working with the British Council over the last few years on a number of major initiatives to involve people from all over the world in the London 2012 experience. These include International Inspiration, London 2012s international sports legacy programme which uses the power of sport to enhance the lives of millions of young people from 20 countries around the world. We have also worked together on a variety of cultural projects, as part of the Cultural Olympiad, and educational projects as part of Get Set, the London 2012 education programme. For more language-learning materials, please view the English for the Games materials on www.britishcouncil.org/englishfor-the-games I hope you enjoy using these resources and developing your language skills during your stay in the UK.
