#138- What Is A Sitcom?

Today we cover another new word or phrase that you may not be familiar with in today's"What does this mean?" episode.

In these episodes, we take a word that you may think that you know the meaning of.
What is different about this episode is that you will learn a new word that you may be calling something else.

Today's word is..."sitcom".

This word is very popular and used by many native English speakers.
I want to talk about what this is in Japan.

I have met and made many friends with Japanese people over the years.

When I ask them about things that they like from my country, America.
 they usually say 3 things.

What are these 3 things?
Well, these Japanese friends say that they like American music, Hollywood movies, and dramas.

I sometimes laugh a little bit.

Why?
Because we have many different ways to call TV shows or series.

When I speak to Japanese people, they tend to call every show, a“ drama”.

I even had an adult student recently call,” Friends” a drama.“

Friends” is not a drama, it's a sitcom; sit-com. 

So...what is a sitcom?

A sitcom is a “situation” comedy...

Thanks,

-Percy

そうですね、これらの日本人の友達は、アメリカの音楽、ハリウッド映画、ドラマが好きだと言っています。

私は時々少し笑います。

なんで?
テレビ番組やシリーズを呼び出す方法はたくさんあるからです。

私が日本人と話すとき、彼らはすべてのショーを「ドラマ」と呼ぶ傾向があります。

最近、大人の学生に「フレンズ」をドラマと呼んでもらった。

「フレンズ」はドラマではなく、シットコムです。シットコム。

それで...シットコムとは何ですか?

Join Percy Woods III for Social English ソーシャル英語, a podcast built on the idea that textbook English and the language used in everyday conversation are often worlds apart. This is a space for Japanese learners to move beyond formal grammar and into the fluid, sometimes messy, realm of real talk. Percy acts as your American friend and guide, breaking down the casual phrases, cultural nuances, and unspoken rules that native speakers use daily. You'll hear friendly discussions that tackle specific English topics, always with a focus on practical application in social situations. A key part of the podcast involves Percy correcting English submitted by Japanese listeners, offering clear explanations that go beyond a simple fix to explore why a certain phrasing sounds more natural. He also addresses common pitfalls, like direct translations from search engines that can sound awkward to a native ear. The goal is straightforward: to build the confidence needed for genuine communication with English speakers anywhere. Each episode is a step toward understanding the living language as it's actually spoken, making those social interactions-whether online, while traveling, or in professional settings-feel more accessible and less intimidating. Tune in for a supportive and detailed look at the English you need for real connection.
