Daily English Pod
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.

Hit different
means something feels unusually strong, special, or meaningful — different from the usual. It affects you in a deeper way than expected.
Examples:
1- She watched a movie without subtitles, and halfway through, she realized she was understanding everything. That moment hit different — like quiet proof that she was growing.
2- Someone told her, “You deserve good things.” She had heard that sentence many times before. But on that particular night,
it hit different because she was finally ready to believe it.
Hello and welcome to Daily English.
Today’s expression is modern, expressive, and beautifully simple. It describes those moments when something feels stronger, deeper, or unexpectedly meaningful —even if you’ve experienced it many times before.
Our expression is “hit different” One more time: “hit different.”
Listen to this
She reread an old message from her friend, and somehow, this time, it hit different —
as if she finally understood what her friend meant.
What do you think “hit different” means here? “Hit different” means something feels unusually strong, special, or meaningful — different from the usual. It affects you in a deeper way than expected.Not better, not worse — just different. But in a way you can feel.
Let’s listen to some examples:
She watched a movie without subtitles, and halfway through, she realized she was understanding everything. That moment hit different — like quiet proof that she was growing.
Another one: Someone told her, “You deserve good things.” She had heard that sentence many times before. But on that particular night,
it hit different because she was finally ready to believe it.
And She’d made the same cup of morning coffee for years,
but today the warmth, the silence,
and the light coming through the window
hit different —
a small, unexpected moment of peace.
Fun fact
This expression became popular in music culture and then spread across social media,
but now it’s used by everyone — anytime something touches them more than usual.
Now your question: What’s something that recently hit different for you?
Thanks for spending some minutes with me. See you tomorrow, and Have a lovely day — a great one.
