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.

Pull your weight
means to do your fair share of the work — to contribute equally and responsibly. It’s often used in groups, teams, families, or workplaces.
Examples:
1- If everyone pulls their weight, the project will finish on time. But if one person doesn’t, everyone feels the pressure.
2- In our house, we all pull our weight — one cooks, one cleans, and one washes the dishes.
Hello and welcome to Daily English —Today’s idiom is all about teamwork — about doing your part, showing up, and sharing the load. The expression is: “pull your weight.”
Imagine five people carrying a big table.
Four are lifting with effort… and one is just pretending to help. Soon, the others say, “Hey, pull your weight!” What do you think that means?
To pull your weight means to do your fair share of the work — to contribute equally and responsibly. It’s often used in groups, teams, families, or workplaces.
Examples:
1- If everyone pulls their weight, the project will finish on time. But if one person doesn’t, everyone feels the pressure.
2- In our house, we all pull our weight — one cooks, one cleans, and one washes the dishes.
True friendships work best when both people pull their weight — not when one always gives and the other always takes.
Pulling your weight doesn’t just mean working hard — it means caring enough to do your part,
to share responsibility, and to respect the effort of others.
Is there an area in your life — work, home, or relationships — where you feel someone isn’t pulling their weight…[ or maybe where you could do a little more?
