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.

Slow down
means to reduce speed — physically or mentally — and give yourself more space, time, or calm.
Examples:
1- She didn’t change her whole life — she just started slowing down in small moments, like breathing before replying or walking instead of rushing.
2- Sometimes people don’t need advice. They just need permission to slow down
without feeling guilty.
Hi everyone, and welcome to Daily English. Yesterday, we talked about being on the go —
busy, moving, always doing something.Today’s expression is the quiet opposite. It’s “slow down.”
One more time: “slow down.”
She noticed she was rushing through everything — walking fast, eating fast, replying fast —
even when there was no real reason to hurry. That’s when she realized she needed to slow down.
So what does “slow down” mean? To “slow down” means to reduce speed — physically or mentally — and give yourself more space, time, or calm.
Let’s listen to some examples: He was juggling work, messages, and deadlines,
until his body forced him to slow down and rest.
She didn’t change her whole life — she just started slowing down in small moments,
like breathing before replying or walking instead of rushing.
Sometimes people don’t need advice. They just need permission to slow down
without feeling guilty.
Slowing down doesn’t mean giving up. It means choosing care over pressure.
Now it’s your turn:
Is there one area of your life where you need to slow down a little?
Thanks for listening to Daily English.
Take a deep breath, and have a gentle day.
See you tomorrow
