  • Living in the UK can be pretty confusing sometimes. You know, you're in a new place surrounded by a bunch of new people with their own weird culture and it's easy to feel lost. So today we're going to talk about UK culture shocks and how you can survive them.

    In this episode I talk about:

    Why British people are obsessed with the weather What British food is really like Where British politeness goes too far How the British sense of humour works

    My name is Dan and I am a British English teacher from Sheffield in the UK. I moved to Japan in 2016 to start a new life and I realised that the language I learned from textbooks was nothing like the real world and I really struggled to survive in a new country. These days I am able to do most things in my daily life here in Japan and I want to make sure that you can do the same in the UK. I am here to help you understand British life, British culture, and of course, British English!
