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.

Fidgety
If you’re fidgety, you just can’t sit still — usually because you’re nervous, bored, or excited. You move around, shift in your seat, play with your hands — anything to release that extra energy.
Examples:
1- She always gets fidgety before interviews — bouncing her knee and fixing her hair every two minutes.
2- The kids were fidgety during the long ceremony — one dropped his shoe, another started humming.
Hello and welcome back to Daily English, Today’s word is: fidgety. Let’s say it together: fidgety. Now let’s see if you can guess what it means from these clues:
A little kid is waiting in a long line with her parents. She can’t stop swinging her legs, touching things, twisting around, and asking, “Are we done yet?” Yep — she’s feeling fidgety.
💬 Before a big speech, someone keeps adjusting their notes, biting their lip, playing with their sleeves. They're clearly fidgety — a mix of nerves and restlessness.
What does fidgety mean? If you’re fidgety, you just can’t sit still — usually because you’re nervous, bored, or excited. You move around, shift in your seat, play with your hands — anything to release that extra energy.
