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.

Darg your feet
It means to delay doing something or be slow to take action, especially because you don’t want to do it
Examples:
1- They agreed to fix the problem, but they’re dragging their feet.
2- She’s been dragging her feet about making a dentist appointment.
Hello and welcome back to Daily English! Before getting started, I would like to tell that you that In the last couple of weeks, we’ve been growing fast and that’s amazing.I really would like to thank you all for trusting us. Today’s idiom is “drag your feet.” One more time — drag your feet. Let’s see if you can guess what it means from these clues:
Your friend says he’s going to clean his apartment... but days go by and he keeps saying, “Tomorrow, for sure!”
You visit a week later, and the place is still a mess.
You laugh and say, “You’re really dragging your feet, huh?” Or imagine this: you’ve been meaning to reply to an important email. You open it, read it, close it, open it again… but you still don’t answer.
You know you need to, but you just keep dragging your feet.So, what does “drag your feet” mean? It means to delay doing something or be slow to take action, especially because you don’t want to do it
Examples:“She’s been dragging her feet about making a dentist appointment.”
“They agreed to fix the problem, but they’re dragging their feet.”
“I know I should start my homework… but I keep dragging my feet.”
This idiom creates a strong image — someone literally walking slowly with their feet dragging on the ground. That tired, unwilling energy is exactly how it feels when we’re avoiding something.
Is there anything you’ve been dragging your feet about lately? Maybe a task, a message, or a decision? Tell me — what’s holding you back?
