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.

Root for sb
If you root for someone, it means you cheer them on, support them, and hope they succeed.
Examples:
1- We all rooted for her during the interview process—she really deserved that job.
2- She didn’t win the competition, but knowing so many people were rooting for her gave her the courage to try again.
Hello and welcome back to Daily English! Today’s expression is “root for someone.”
Let’s say it together — root for someone. Can you guess what it means from these clues?
Your friend has a big exam tomorrow. You can’t help them study, but you send a voice message: “I know you’ve got this. I’m rooting for you!”
Or imagine a quiet boy at a school talent show. He’s nervous on stage, but a girl in the crowd whispers to her friend, “Come on… I’m really rooting for him.”
So, what does it mean to “root for someone”? If you root for someone, it means you cheer them on, support them, and hope they succeed.
You’re not just watching — you want them to win, to feel seen, to rise. It can be used for a friend, a family member, even someone you’ve never met — as long as you're genuinely hoping things go well for them.
Examples: “Even though he switched teams, I still root for him. He’s worked so hard to get here.”
“We all rooted for her during the interview process—she really deserved that job.”
“She didn’t win the competition, but knowing so many people were rooting for her gave her the courage to try again.”
Your Turn! Is there someone in your life you’re rooting for right now?
Maybe they’re trying something new. Maybe they’re struggling quietly. Maybe they don’t even know you’re in their corner. Why not tell them?
