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.

That crossed a line
When we say “that crossed a line,” we mean someone went beyond what is acceptable. They ignored a boundary. They said or did something disrespectful.
Examples:
1- He made a comment about her appearance in front of other people. She didn’t say anything in the moment, but later she realized that crossed a line.
2- They said it was “just feedback,” but the words felt personal and humiliating.
This wasn’t helpful anymore. It crossed a line.
Hi everyone, and welcome to Daily English. Today’s expression is serious, clear, and very important in real life. It’s “that crossed a line.”One more time: “that crossed a line.”
At first, it sounded like a joke. Everyone laughed a little. Then the comment went too far.
He smiled politely — but inside he knew, that crossed a line.
What do you think this expression means? When we say “that crossed a line,” we mean someone went beyond what is acceptable.
They ignored a boundary. They said or did something disrespectful.
Let’s listen to some examples: He made a comment about her appearance
in front of other people. She didn’t say anything in the moment, but later she realized —
that crossed a line.
They said it was “just feedback,”
but the words felt personal and humiliating.
This wasn’t helpful anymore.
It crossed a line.
The article claimed to report facts, but it revealed private information about someone’s family.
Freedom of the press matters —but that crossed a line.
Sometimes we feel uncomfortable first and only later find the words for it. This expression helps us name that feeling.
Has anyone ever said or done something that crossed a line for you? And did you speak up — or stay quiet?
Thanks for listening to Daily English. Don’t miss our weekend episodes, and see you tomorrow.
