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 back to Daily English, Today’s phrase is: “leg it.”
Say it with me: leg it. Let’s see if you can figure it out from these clues:
Two teenagers are hanging around a train station when they see a guard coming their way. One of them whispers, “Quick! Leg it!” — and they both take off running.
Someone accidentally knocks over a display in a shop, sees the owner looking furious, and yells to their friend, “Let’s leg it before she catches us!”
So what does “leg it” mean?To “leg it” means to run away quickly, especially because you’re scared, in trouble, or just in a hurry.
It’s a fun, informal British phrase that makes it sound like you’re relying totally on your legs to escape — no car, no bike, just good old-fashioned running!
