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.

Hi everyone, and welcome to a very special episode of Daily English.
Today is our 500th episode, and honestly… that number still surprises me. And if there’s one expression that captures exactly how I feel today, it’s this one.
Our Expression of the day is “I don’t take it for granted.”One more time: “I don’t take it for granted.”
Listen to this: She walked into a room, and someone’s face lit up when they saw her.

It means noticing the good things, and understanding that they didn’t have to be there.
