10 years ago, I moved to Japan. I thought I understood what it would be like to live in another country… I was wrong.
In this episode, I break down what actually happens when you try to live your life in another language... the misunderstandings, the silence, the frustration... and how it completely changed the way I think about learning and using a language.
This is not just a story. It’s a reflection on why so many people struggle when speaking… and what actually helps you move past it.
In this episode of the BritSpeakPod, we will talk about: Why “immersion” doesn’t work the way most people think What really makes speaking in another language feel overwhelming How cultural differences affect the way you communicate Why grammar and vocabulary are not the main problem What helped me start communicating more naturally (even with mistakes) Practical lessons you can apply to your own speaking right now

Welcome to BritSpeakPod, a podcast designed to help you stop freezing and start communicating in English with confidence. Each episode focuses on real communication... not just learning more words, but actually knowing what to say and how to say it in real situations.
Who am I? My name is Dan and I am a CELTA qualified ESL teacher with over 10 years experience. I’m originally from Sheffield, UK, and I’ve been living in Japan since 2016. I help people who understand English but freeze when it’s their turn to speak, so they can communicate clearly, confidently, and naturally in real conversations.
