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's on me
When we say “that’s on me,” we mean: I take responsibility. It’s a calm, grown-up way to admit a mistake — without excuses, drama, or self-blame. It simply means: I own my part.
Examples:
1- He gave unclear instructions, and the task went wrong. Instead of blaming anyone else, he said, “That’s on me — I should’ve explained it better.”
2- She reread the message she had sent. She realized the confusion wasn’t intentional — but it was avoidable. She took a breath and said, “Sorry… that’s on me.”
Hello and welcome to Daily English, and Happy New Year. Before we start, just a note — in the new year, I’m starting a supportive, kind community where we can meet, interact, and practice speaking English together. So I’m starting a free online speaking club on Google Meet, open to all of you. If this feels right for you, you’ll find a short form in the description.
Today’s expression is short, modern, and very honest.
It’s “that’s on me.”One more time: “That’s on me.”
Listen to this: She reread the message she had sent. She realized the confusion wasn’t intentional — but it was avoidable. She took a breath and said, “Sorry… that’s on me.”
What do you think this expression means?
When we say “that’s on me,” we mean: I take responsibility. It’s a calm, grown-up way to admit a mistake — without excuses, drama, or self-blame. It simply means: I own my part.
Let’s listen to some examples:
He gave unclear instructions, and the task went wrong. Instead of blaming anyone else, he said,
“That’s on me — I should’ve explained it better.”
She arrived late because she mixed up the time. No long explanation. Just a small smile and,
“That’s on me.”
Saying “that’s on me” isn’t about being hard on yourself. It’s about clarity. It’s about choosing responsibility over defensiveness.
And sometimes, those three words can calm a situation faster than a long explanation ever could.
Can you think of a recent moment when you could say, “that’s on me”?
Not to judge yourself — just to understand and grow.
Thanks for listening to Daily English. Have a lovely day and see you tomorrow.
