This is one of the most useful channels for learning English

I have just discovered you, Luke. I'm delighted to have met you. Never watched/ listened to anyone so engaging, professionally prepared, with such a lovely accent and voice. So natural, humorous, full of teaching ideas and quality content. I'm a 63-year-old former teacher of English from Italy. I retired last year and was worried about not having so many opportunities to be exposed to English constantly (no cultural exchanges, international courses, stays abroad...) Thank goodness I have found you!

Luke, you organically fitted in with the topic of conversation. Your blush and insightful questions make you a sincere and involved interlocutor. Thank you very much!

[Crisguay]

When one of the best communicators I've ever met tells us that he blushes when he speaks, it makes me feel like we're all the same and a little more confident in myself and my way of conveying information in the language I'm learning. Thank you for getting down to our level. This is really motivating!! 🌈🌈

A true super communicator. Every communication comes with connection. Escaping anxiety, and embracing comfort. All in a day’s work!

Thank you Luke for having him to broaden my perspectives, and also for revealing what's happening in real English communication. I can't agree more that focusing on genuine, meaningful communication is the key of speaking.

Imagine walking into a classroom where every lesson feels like a performance, and every word spoken is accompanied by expressive gestures and animated facial expressions. That's the experience with Luke. Not only is he a masterful teacher of English, but he also has a flair for theatricality that brings the subject to life in ways you never thought possible.Each lesson is a captivating show, with him effortlessly weaving storytelling, humor, and passion into every explanation. Whether it's dissecting the nuances of the engrossing stories or unraveling the complexities of grammar rules, Luke has a knack for making even the most daunting topics seem approachable and engaging.But what truly sets you apart is your ability to communicate through gestures and facial expressions as if tou were an artist on stage. Every raise of the eyebrow, every sweep of the hand, serves to emphasize a point or illuminate a concept, leaving students mesmerized and eager to learn more.In your videos, gratitude and admiration flow freely from students who are not just learning English but experiencing it in its fullest, richest form. So here's to you, Luke, for being more than just an educator—you're a true maestro of language and inspiration. May you continue to dazzle and delight your students for years to come!

I usually listen to your podcast while walking my dog in the evening. I think it's very interesting and I learn a lot. Thank you very much. Greetings from Spain 😊

[alvaromirambellliminana]

It's not only an amazing podcast to learn English, it's a great way to improve our life! Congratulations from Spain!

[karengomez]

I really appreciate how real this YT channel is, and I really mean it, thank you!

[winstonsabellona]

Matt Abrahams is the best communicator and teacher!

[manuela]

Despite being a quite self-confident person, I've been struggling with blushing all my life, so I can really understand your feelings. The worst thing however, is when someone suddenly tells you 'Oh look, you're blushing!' ...and the more they tell you the redder you become 😞

[jyotichauhan]

thank you Sir LUKE and Sir Matt ABRAHAM,
we eagerly look forward to your podcast vidos
best wishes to you all

[josebenito]

Definitely Mr Abrahams knows perfectly well what he's talking about. Being myself a Spanish person I never, when I speak English, try to sound as I was a BBC speaker.. Which put my anxiety off while I'm speaking.. And Secondly never thinking about the grammar mistakes that my conversation would derive... Meaning, thinking fast, speaking faster and getting my message across... Thanks so much for this helpful Video and congratulations to both of you 👍

[angelazhang]

It’s incredible that both of you are in the same video and I follow both of you.❤ it’s an excellent question to come first and great answer!!!
