E28: Pull your SOCKS up!

E28: Pull your SOCKS up!

Author: Martin Johnston May 8, 2017 Duration: 15:42

It's International Wear No Socks Day today! To celebrate, listen to me talk about socks. Yes, that's right... BUT there are some interesting facts about feet, wearing a tiger on your feet and lots of RnR vocabulary such as TOLD OFF, THROUGH THE ROOF and lots more - keeeeep on ROCKin'! 


Martin Johnston hosts Rock n' Roll English, a podcast that feels more like hanging out backstage than sitting in a classroom. Each episode is built around candid, often hilarious conversations with friends, where the topics naturally drift toward life's louder edges-think music, culture, and the stories you don't find in standard textbooks. The whole idea is to absorb the rhythm and slang of everyday English by hearing it used in real, unfiltered chat. You'll pick up vocabulary and grasp grammar intuitively from context, all wrapped in the spirit of rock and roll. It’s an education, but one filled with laughter and genuine curiosity, where learning happens because you're simply engaged in the conversation. This isn't a formal lesson; it's about catching the nuances of the language while listening to people talk about what actually interests them. Tune in to this uniquely energetic podcast for a dose of comedy and learning that’s as unpredictable as it is useful. Just keep on rockin'.
