Hello, Luke. My English teacher showed me Roald Dahl's stories. We have even read some. But he doesn't have enough time for reading all them. I really enjoye doing it with you. I thank you for your performance. 😊 It's worth doing. As I can see, many people watching and listening to you. Please don't stop. I can't wait for the next episode.😊

Hi Luke I'm a girl and currently on my period. The pain I'm in is incredibly horrible I took three pills to get rid of the pain but nothing worked. I remembered when you mentioned in one of your episodes I think it was episode 545, that when you're going through a crisis just blast out Luke's podcast and everything is going to be alright.I played this episode and listened until the end With every minute the pain went away I'm absolutely fine right now. Your channel means so much to me. Thank you so much, Luke

Luke, I've just been able to listen to the whole story without any problem, so I guess there is something wrong with the earplugs. I am so pleased to listen to you!!! GREAT story choice! I'm fond of Roal Dahl and I am really fond of you and your beautiful English. Thank you so much! 😊

[@МилаБонд-б8ж]

Thank you, Luke! You have opened Roald Dahl for me and my English language learners. Now I read his stories myself and watch short films based on his stories. And they are always exciting and easy to understand for the foreigner. And of course he is really great!

[@anapaulafernandes613]

Thank you so much, Teacher Luke. I'm preparing to take the IELTS test here in my city. I live in Recife, the capital of Pernambuco, in the north-east of Brazil, with my family, and we are in the process of immigrating to Canada. These little stories are the ones I enjoy watching the most. Especially when I can follow the reading of a story. Audiobooks are amazing!!!

[@nadezdanikitina7487]

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

The first short story I read by Dahl was “Taste”, from “Taste and other tales”. It really got me, the tension growing up in the room, the very detailed description of the faces while tasting the wine, and of course the ending... finally I was able to get the book to go on reading the other tales. Impossible to put the book down. Thanks for reminding me such a great writer in this funny story.
