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.

Hello and welcome to Daily English, as it’s the weekend, we learn English through stories
Today’s story is about patience, luck—and one very stubborn carrot. So what happened? In 2004, Mary Grams from Alberta, Canada, lost her diamond engagement ring while pulling weeds in her garden. She searched everywhere but couldn’t find it. Heartbroken, she eventually gave up and even bought a replacement ring—keeping her loss a secret from almost everyone.
Fast forward 13 years. Her daughter-in-law was harvesting carrots from the same garden when she pulled out a carrot with something strange wrapped around it… It was the missing wedding ring! The carrot had somehow grown through the ring, lifting it to the surface after all those years. Mary’s long-lost treasure had finally turned up—and in a way no one could have predicted! By the way I’ve put the link to the news. You can check the story and the picture.
To turn up means to appear, arrive, or be found unexpectedly.
Examples:“The missing documents turned up in the archives.”
- “My keys turned up in my jacket pocket after days of searching.”
- “He turned up at the party even though no one expected him.”
- “Sometimes the things you’re looking for turn up when you stop searching.”
Have you ever lost something important that turned up later—maybe in a strange or funny way?
