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.

Start, Stop, Continue
Start gives you direction. Stop creates space. Continue builds confidence.
Together, they help you move forward without pressure.
Hello and welcome to a New Year weekend episode of Daily English —where we try to grow, in English and in life.
As the new year begins, many of us feel pressure to change everything.
Last week, I talked about the idea of gentle resolutions —about choosing kindness over pressure.
Today’s episode continues that idea, but in a more practical and grounded way. Instead of long lists and big promises,
I want to offer you a simple reflection that is widely used in corporate environments and is inspired by an idea by Mel Robbins:
Start. Stop. Continue. Teams use this framework to review their work, improve performance, and move forward without blame.
And what works for teams can work beautifully for our personal lives too.
Start
Ask yourself: What is one small thing I want to start this year? Not something dramatic.Not something perfect.
Maybe:
starting to say no without guilt, or reading a page of a book every day or moving your body 10 minutes a day Just one small, honest beginning.
Stop. Then ask: What is one thing I need to stop? Not because you failed —but because it no longer serves you.
Maybe: stopping constant comparison, stopping negative self-talk, or stopping spending energy or money where it’s not returned.
And finally, ask: What is one thing I want to continue?
We often forget this part. But not everything needs fixing.
Maybe: your kindness, your effort, the resilience that carried you through a hard year, a couple of minutes you spent every day to improve a skill. Continuing is honoring how far you’ve come.
So why this works: Start gives you direction.Stop creates space.Continue builds confidence.
Together, they help you move forward without pressure,
So, before the year gets loud, take a quiet moment and write three lines: This year, I will start …This year, I will stop …This year, I will continue …
And as you plan for the year ahead, don’t forget this:You don’t need pressure to move forward. Fear doesn’t work — it only makes us freeze or quit.
Real change comes when we feel safe. So let yourself progress with gentleness.
Slowly. Honestly. In your own way.
Thank you for being here today.
Wishing you a year of intention, not pressure.
And see you tomorrow.
