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.

Break the cycle
means to stop a repeated pattern — usually a negative or unhealthy one — and choose a different way forward. It’s about awareness, courage, and change.
Examples:
1- He realized he was always avoiding difficult conversations. By finally speaking up, he began to break the cycle of silence.
2- In families, habits and behaviors can pass from one generation to the next.
Sometimes, choosing kindness, honesty, or boundaries is how we break the cycle.
Hi everyone, and welcome to Daily English. Today’s expression is strong, meaningful, and very human. It’s “break the cycle.” One more time: “break the cycle.”
Listen to this: She noticed the same pattern repeating again and again —
the same mistakes, the same reactions, the same disappointments. One day, she paused and thought, “I don’t want to live like this anymore. I need to break the cycle.”
So what does “break the cycle” mean? To “break the cycle” means to stop a repeated pattern — usually a negative or unhealthy one — and choose a different way forward.
It’s about awareness, courage, and change.
Let’s listen to some examples:
He realized he was always avoiding difficult conversations.
By finally speaking up, he began to break the cycle of silence.
She grew up seeing constant stress and exhaustion normalized.
As an adult, she chose rest and balance to break the cycle.
In families, habits and behaviors can pass from one generation to the next.
Sometimes, choosing kindness, honesty, or boundaries
is how we break the cycle.
Breaking the cycle isn’t easy.
It often feels uncomfortable at first.
But it’s how growth begins — quietly, one decision at a time.
Now it’s your turn:
Is there a habit, thought, or pattern in your life
that you’d like to break the cycle of?
Thanks for listening to Daily English.
Have a lovely day — a great one.
See you tomorrow.
