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.

Jaded
If you’re jaded, you feel emotionally worn out, pessimistic, or numb, usually because of too many disappointments or repeated negative experiences.
Examples:
1- They loved teaching once, but endless paperwork and low pay left them feeling jaded and defeated.
2- He’s dated so many people who lied or played games that now he’s jaded—he doesn’t even want to try.
Hello and welcome back to Daily English! Today’s word is “jaded.” One more time—jaded.
Let’s see if you can guess what it means from these clues: She used to get so excited about first dates—what to wear, what to say, imagining the possibilities. But now? She scrolls through messages with a tired sigh. Nothing feels new. She’s jaded.
Or imagine a man who once dreamed of changing the world through his work. But after years of office politics, fake smiles, and broken promises—he’s not angry anymore. Just tired. Emotionally worn out. He’s jaded.
So, what does jaded mean? If you’re jaded, you feel emotionally worn out, pessimistic, or numb, usually because of too many disappointments or repeated negative experiences.
Examples:“After years in the industry, she became jaded and stopped believing that anything would really change.”
“He’s dated so many people who lied or played games that now he’s jaded—he doesn’t even want to try.”
They loved teaching once, but endless paperwork and low pay left them feeling jaded and defeated.”
You’ll often hear this word in emotional songs or interviews, when people talk about losing hope or becoming numb after too much disappointment.
It’s not dramatic—it’s quiet pain. The kind that builds slowly over time.
