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.

Like clockwork
means something happens regularly, exactly on time, and without fail.
Examples:
1- The bus arrives at the same stop at 8:10 every morning. Rain or shine, it shows up like clockwork.
2- At work, the weekly meeting begins at exactly the same time every Monday,
like clockwork.
Hi everyone, and welcome to Daily English. Today’s expression is simple, common, and very useful in everyday conversations. It’s “like clockwork.”
One more time: “like clockwork.”
Every morning at exactly 7:30, her alarm rang. She didn’t even need to check the time anymore.
It happened like clockwork.
So what does this expression mean? “Like clockwork” means something happens regularly, exactly on time, and without fail.
It’s used when something is very predictable and consistent.
Let’s listen to some examples: Every Friday evening, he calls his parents —
not sometimes, not often — but like clockwork.
The bus arrives at the same stop at 8:10 every morning. Rain or shine, it shows up like clockwork.
At work, the weekly meeting begins at exactly the same time every Monday,
like clockwork.
Sometimes routines feel boring. But sometimes, they bring comfort. They create rhythm.
They give structure to our days.
And when something happens like clockwork, it reminds us how powerful consistency can be.
Now it’s your turn: What is one thing in your life that happens like clockwork?
And remember — making your own example sentences
is one of the best ways to make new expressions feel natural.
Thanks for listening to Daily English. Have a lovely day — a great one. See you tomorrow.
