Description
Daily English Pod is a space for learning English beyond grammar and textbooks.
During the week, you’ll learn practical vocabulary, expressions, idioms, and real-life English, the language people actually use in everyday conversations, emotions, and work.
On weekends, we slow down. Through ideas from psychology, philosophy, and real human experience, we explore language as a way to better understand life, emotions, identity, and growth.
This podcast is created by Jale, an English teacher with 13 years of teaching experience and a Master’s degree in Applied Linguistics from Canada, who teaches with patience, clarity, and care, and believes learning works best when students feel seen, respected, and safe to think aloud.
The goal is simple but meaningful: to help you understand English deeply, use it confidently, and connect it to your real life. English here is not just a skill. It’s a gentle companion for clearer thinking, honest expression, and deeper human connection.

Last week, we were on a trip. unfortunately, our favorite hotel was fully booked, so we had to make do with a small guesthouse. 😉
I don't remember when I've used the "noted" in my conversation. Actually, in my mother toungue, we don't use this tiny word. We use other words instead of "noted". Such: "okay", "I understood", "I heard" or "sure". It depends on the context of conversation. :) "noted" also means "famous". it's an adjective. He is noted for sth... She is a noted dancer!
