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.

Get back on track
means to return to a plan, habit, or direction after a pause or a setback. It doesn’t mean starting perfectly. It just means starting again.
Examples:
1- He was saving money carefully, but then a few unplanned expenses appeared. Instead of giving up, he looked at his budget and said, “Alright. Let’s get back on track.”
2- She skipped the gym for a while — not because she didn’t care, but because she felt overwhelmed. One walk, one small step, and she smiled, “I’m getting back on track.”
Hi everyone, and welcome to Daily English. Today’s expression is simple, practical, and very reassuring, and it’s related to what we talked about yesterday. It’s “get back on track.”One more time: “get back on track.”
She had a routine she liked. A little practice every day. Then life happened — busy days, low energy, missed plans. Nothing dramatic. Just distance. One morning, she took a deep breath and thought, “Okay… It’s time to get back on track.”
What do you think this expression means?
To “get back on track” means to return to a plan, habit, or direction after a pause or a setback. It doesn’t mean starting perfectly. It just means starting again.
Let’s listen to some examples:
He stopped practicing English for a few weeks. At first, he felt guilty. Then he opened his app, listened for five minutes, and said, “I’m getting back on track.”
He was saving money carefully, but then a few unplanned expenses appeared. Instead of giving up, he looked at his budget and said, “Alright. Let’s get back on track.”
She skipped the gym for a while — not because she didn’t care, but because she felt overwhelmed. One walk, one small step, and she smiled, “I’m getting back on track.”
Getting back on track doesn’t mean fixing everything at once. It means choosing direction over perfection.
And most of the time, the moment you decide to come back is already progress.
Is there something in your life you’d like to get back on track with? A habit, a routine, or maybe your language practice?
Thanks for listening to Daily English and don’t forget that on Sunday we’ll have our first Free Speaking Club, and it would be wonderful to see you there. You just need to fill in the form you can see in the description. Have a beautiful day and see you tomorrow.
