FV9: General Chit-Chat

FV9: General Chit-Chat

Author: Martin Johnston February 27, 2018 Duration: 6:27

As this is the first ‘official’ episode of RnR English FULL VOLUME we thought we would just have a general chit-chat about how things are going. Remember though… this was recorded on Thursday last week and a million extra things have gone wrong since then! P.S. This was supposed to be for paying members only, but as we have had so many problems, we are giving this for FREE as well! 


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'.
