My name is Dan and I am a British English teacher from Sheffield in the UK. I moved to Japan in 2016 to start a new life and I realised that the language I learned from textbooks was nothing like the real world and I really struggled to survive in a new country. These days I am able to do most things in my daily life here in Japan and I want to make sure that you can do the same in the UK. I am here to help you understand British life, British culture, and of course, British English!
