I’m Jale, an English teacher and graduate in Applied Linguistics from Canada. From Monday to Friday, I share short, practical educational podcasts. On Saturdays, you’ll hear an engaging story, and on Sundays, we explore artistic topics. Like a real magazine, these podcasts cover current issues, culture, society, and history in clear, easy-to-understand English. If you’re interested in learning English and understanding the world around you, this podcast is for you. With me, you’ll not only practice English but also gain a broader perspective on the world.

Let it sink in
means to give yourself time to fully understand or emotionally absorb something important.
Examples:
1- When she finally heard someone say “I’m proud of you,” she didn’t reply immediately. She smiled softly and let it sink in.
2- He had waited so long for good news that when the doctor finally said, “You’re going to be okay,” he just stayed silent and let it sink in.
Hello and welcome back to Daily English.
In the last few days, we’ve talked about taking opportunities, acting with intention, and making meaningful use of what we have. Sometimes life moves so fast that we don’t fully feel what’s happening. Today’s expression is about giving yourself a moment to truly absorb something meaningful. The expression is Let it sink in, one more time: let it sink in Listen carefully and try to guess it.
Think about this situation…You receive wonderful news — maybe you passed an exam or got a job offer — but it doesn’t feel real immediately. You need a moment.
Someone tells you something powerful or deeply kind, and you just sit quietly to process it.
Have you guessed the meaning of the expression?
“Let it sink in” means to give yourself time to fully understand or emotionally absorb something important. It doesn’t require action. Just space.
When she finally heard someone say “I’m proud of you,” she didn’t reply immediately. She smiled softly and let it sink in.
He had waited so long for good news that when the doctor finally said, “You’re going to be okay,” he just stayed silent and let it sink in.
“When her student told her, ‘You changed my life,’ she took a deep breath and let it sink in.”
Not everything needs an immediate response. Sometimes, the quiet moment after something meaningful is what helps us truly understand it.
So today, if something matters, take a breath… and let it sink in.
Have you ever needed time to let something sink in — good news, a message, or even a realization? I’d love to hear.
