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 under sb's skin
To “get under someone’s skin” means to annoy, bother, or affect someone emotionally — often in a quiet but persistent way.
Examples:
1- He wasn’t rude, but the way he kept interrupting her slowly started to get under her skin.
2- She tried not to care about the criticism, but it kept replaying in her head. It really got under her skin.
Hi everyone, and welcome to Daily English. Today’s expression is very common, very human, and very expressive. It’s “get under someone’s skin.”One more time: “get under someone’s skin.”
Listen to this: She didn’t want to admit it, but that small comment stayed in her mind all day.
It wasn’t loud. It wasn’t dramatic. But somehow, it had gotten under her skin.
So what does this expression mean? To “get under someone’s skin” means to annoy, bother, or affect someone emotionally — often in a quiet but persistent way.
It’s when something sticks with you even when you try to ignore it.
Let’s listen to some examples:
He wasn’t rude, but the way he kept interrupting her slowly started to get under her skin.
Another one: She tried not to care about the criticism, but it kept replaying in her head. It really got under her skin.
The noise from the neighbor wasn’t very loud, but it was constant — and after a while, it began to get under his skin.
Sometimes it’s not big problems that affect us the most. It’s the small things. The repeated habits. The tiny remarks.
Now it’s your turn:
Has anything small but persistent gotten under your skin recently?
And before you go, every Sunday we meet each other in our free speaking club where we practice our speaking skills. It’s open to all of you, and it would be great to see you all there.
Thanks for listening to Daily English. Have a lovely day — and See you tomorrow.
