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.

Pushy
For checking the transcript:
Pushy
If someone is pushy, it means they try to force their opinions, desires, or suggestions onto others, often in a way that feels aggressive, annoying, or too much.
Examples:
1- Some fans said the influencer was pushy about promoting her products—every post was like a sales pitch.
2- I told my roommate I might clean the kitchen ‘later,’ and she sent me three reminders. A little pushy, don’t you think?
Hello and welcome back to Daily English! Today’s word is “pushy.” Once again: pushy.
Here are two clues:
A salesperson keeps following you around the store, recommending things you clearly don’t want and saying, “You have to try this!” That’s pretty pushy.
A friend keeps pressuring you to go to a party, even after you said no twice. Yep—they’re being a little pushy.
What does “Pushy” mean? If someone is pushy, it means they try to force their opinions, desires, or suggestions onto others, often in a way that feels aggressive, annoying, or too much.
A pushy person doesn’t easily take “no” for an answer—and that’s what makes them unpleasant sometimes.
Examples:
"My aunt is so pushy—she keeps asking when I’ll get married, even though I’ve told her I’m happy the way I am!"
"Some fans said the influencer was pushy about promoting her products—every post was like a sales pitch."
"I told my roommate I might clean the kitchen ‘later,’ and she sent me three reminders. A little pushy, don’t you think?"
You can describe someone as pushy in: Sales or marketing, Social situations, Family or friendships (especially when they don’t respect your boundaries)
Have you ever dealt with someone who was pushy? Or—be honest—have you ever been a little pushy yourself without realizing it? Tell me your story. I’d love to hear how you handled it!
