Daily English Pod
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.

Grumpy
If someone is grumpy, it means they are in a bad mood—irritable, easily annoyed, or complaining.
Examples:
1- Our cat gets grumpy if we move her from her favorite chair. She gives us the silent treatment for hours.
2- My nephew missed his nap and was so grumpy—he refused to eat his lunch and threw his toy at the wall.
Hello and welcome back to Daily English! Today’s word is “grumpy.” Once again: grumpy.
Can you guess what it means? Here are two quick hints:
Your dad hasn’t had his morning coffee yet, and he snaps at everyone just for talking. He’s clearly grumpy.
Your friend didn’t get enough sleep and complains about everything—the weather, the traffic, even the food. Yep, she’s a little grumpy today.
So, what does grumpy mean?
If someone is grumpy, it means they are in a bad mood—irritable, easily annoyed, or complaining. It’s usually temporary and kind of harmless. Grumpy people aren’t angry—they’re just not very pleasant at that moment.
Examples:
"Don’t talk to me before 9 a.m.—I’m way too grumpy in the mornings."
"Our cat gets grumpy if we move her from her favorite chair. She gives us the silent treatment for hours."
"My nephew missed his nap and was so grumpy—he refused to eat his lunch and threw his toy at the wall."
You can describe a person, a mood, or even an animal as grumpy. It’s super common in casual English
Your Turn! When was the last time you felt a little grumpy? Was it because of stress? Lack of sleep? Or just one of those days? I’d love to hear your story!
