Dear Luke, enjoy every episode and keep following your podcast. I have been teaching English for dozens of years AND providing services as a translator/interpretor for over 20 years. Your language is a perfect match for my level of proficiency. A variety of topics 👍; Introduction into some pieces of English literature 👍(would be nice to get a wider outlook); the way you process the vocabulary - and the vocab itself👍What is also really important FOR ME is that your podcast manages to deflect my exhausted attention from horrible things imposed to Ukraine that are still going on. Thank you and best wishes for all your projects
Thanks Luke, you are an exceptional teacher, really motivational. I love the way you communicate, enthusiastically caring about people's understanding and learning. Your language is great. Thanks for teaching English through stories and text analyses,
which I find a really
winning strategy. 😊

I’m so lucky I came across your video. I don’t usually finish a long video, but yours is an exception! This is a great way for me to learn English pronunciation.

Hi from Italy. Thanks for reading and commenting on this story. I was expecting a different ending, away from reality, like a cursed umbrella or something like that. I found very interesting that part explaining the posh, old fashioned language.
Thanks a million! I enjoyed a lot, I would love to hear more stories. I must admit that I also loved your analysis about the characters.
