Drinking in English

Visit English, Irish, Scottish, American pubs and restaurants in Tokyo
The cost of food and drink are not included.

Y1500 to participate each week for up to a 3 hour session. (8-11pm)

Discuss, sample and enjoy beer and other beverages from around the world.

It is easier to speak English in a social setting. And having a drink can't hurt the conversation,either. The focus is English conversation and an opportunity to practice speaking and listening. Topics can include aspects of beer, wine and whiskey (tasting, making, regions etc.), Pub culture, English-speaking culture, and travel.

Venues will vary:
- Aldgate - A great English pub in Shibuya
- Braeburn - A special Scottish bar in Shinjuku
- The Nelson - A one-coin bar in Ginza
- T.Y. Harbor Brewery - A micro-brew pub in Shinagawa.

George Carlin – The Modern Man

Think you understand English language and culture?
Try this:
George Carlin – The Modern Man
George Carlin was an American Comedian who passed away earlier this year. For over forty years he entertained with a very unusual style. He is very intelligent and highly opinionated about major social issues. His unique perception and ability to communicate made him very popular with people who see the world in a different way (like me). He was brilliant, unique, an original.

Watch this. He speaks very quickly. I encourage you to watch some of his other videos on You Tube. There are many.
