| 17 | 🎉 National Upsy Daisy Day – 8 June 2026
Today is National Upsy Daisy Day, a cheerful reminder that sometimes we fall—but it's always worth getting back up. 🌟
The expression "upsy-daisy" is an example of a reduplicative expression, a quirky feature of English that we've explored several times before. If you'd like a refresher, take a look at this: 👉 Earlier Telegram post on Ablaut Reduplication
With the football World Cup coming up and starting this week in North & Central America, many people around the world will be watching spectacular matches. And yes, that includes spectacular mistakes too: missed open goals, own goals, slips, trips, and embarrassing blunders. ⚽️💥🔵
But despite these mistakes, the players still have to get up and keep playing until the final whistle goes.⚡️
The truth is that everyone makes mistakes. Top footballers do. Language learners do too.
I know I certainly do when I'm doing my daily Spanish🤩 lessons—I make mistakes all the time. The important thing isn't avoiding mistakes altogether. The important thing is learning from them and continuing to move forward.
English has several useful expressions we use when we recover from a mistake (or a setback):
• to bunce back
• get back on your feet
• pick yourself up
• dust yourself off
That last expression may remind you of Taylor Swift's hit song Shake It Off. If you'd like to practise your listening skills with this famous upbeat song, why not have a go on LyricsTraining?
So whether you've just scored an own goal, made a grammar mistake, or forgotten a word in a conversation, remember:
👉 Mistakes are not proof that you're failing.😭
👉 They're proof that you're learning.👨🎓
Now scroll down to today's DET-style poll and see if you can identify which expressions related to recovery are genuine English expressions and which ones are substitutes (football pun intended!😂).
