Hi luke. I have been listening to your podcasts since 2009. Thanks to your videos I was encouraged to continue studying English. Last year I graduated as an English teacher and I am still listening and enjoying your videos. At the moment I live in Italy. I have also learned to speak Italian and I am still listening to your videos. Thank you for passing on your passion for learning the English language. You are definitely the best language teacher I have ever seen. Thank you for your videos. I enjoy them very much. Keep up the good work. Thank you very much indeed.

You’re a perfect teacher
I understood everything with your explanation
I especially love the way you make sounds like white noise
It allows me to see a clearer picture in my mind and remember things quicker
Thank you🥺

I'm so glad I came across this podcast by chance! I love listening to the stories and like the way you then analyse the story. Please please please, don't stop doing this - I'm hooked!

[joseantonioestrella]

Thank you very much for your time, dear Simon! Oh! Sorry, “dear Luke”, certainly that was what I wanted to write! I’ve genuinely enjoyed it very much!

Another great story by our legendary mentor Luke ❤️❤️❤️

Well read. I am a native English speaker, from Australia, looking for short stories while I do housework. It is an excellent way of learning English.

I picked up whether it was British or American English it was pretty quickly. We generally use British terms, except when we have our own words, so I can pick up when there are different words to our English. It is a bit harder when it is zBritish English, because I sometimes don’t know when Americans have different words.

However nothing in what I said should be read as one way or another as I am not saying how long it took me to work out. There was a particular word used that I only recently learnt with different words in British and American English.

Dear Luke, how wonderful you are, I love English language very much and your accent is SOO GOOD!!! I'm Italian and old 79 years and only lately I began to understand, the writing in the beginning and the sound...much much later, unable to duplicate sounds. I'm in London since two years and here has began my hard way to learn for real, only now I begin understand English better. Unfortunately I'm not a fast learning in languages and discovering your method is like a treasure, considering I understand only elementary web, you tube and You are very VERY good, what a gift you have, Luke, with you I understand almost everything Love you
