Author: Percy Woods III October 9, 2022 Duration: 12:15

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.
