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.

I'll pass
means you are politely saying no — you are choosing not to accept something or not to take part. It’s softer than saying “no” directly.
Examples:
1- A friend invites you to an event, but you’re tired or not interested You might say, “I think I’ll pass this time.”
2- At work, someone suggests an idea that doesn’t feel right to you. Instead of rejecting it strongly, you can say, “I’ll pass on that.”
Hi everyone, and welcome to Daily English. Today’s expression is short, polite, and very commonly used. It’s “I’ll pass.” One more time: “I’ll pass.”
Listen to this: They offered him another slice of cake. He smiled and said, “Thanks, but I’ll pass.”
So what does “I’ll pass” mean? “I’ll pass” means you are politely saying no — you are choosing not to accept something or not to take part. It’s softer than saying “no” directly. Let’s listen to some examples.
A friend invites you to an event, but you’re tired or not interested You might say, “I think I’ll pass this time.”
At work, someone suggests an idea that doesn’t feel right to you. Instead of rejecting it strongly,
you can say, “I’ll pass on that.”
In everyday life, people use this expression to decline offers in a calm and respectful way. “I’ll pass” is not rude — it simply shows that you’re choosing differently.
Now it’s your turn: When was the last time you said “I’ll pass” — and why? Thanks for listening to Daily English. Have an amazing day and see you tomorrow
