I started to listen to your podcast on Spotify about two months ago and I've been listening everyday now I'm on episode 141,just wanted to say you are an genius man thanks so much

[@husseinmhanna3415]

Hello Luke, I recommend to have a podcast about drought in Europe and UK.

[@hakanyavan]

Turkish here. There are closet toilets and classic toilets in modern houses. The classic toilet is more hygienic, healthier, and most importantly, it does not freeze your region in winter. And we don't call it Turkish toilet

[@mr.erlangga8738]

luke, I've been here for ages, at the very beginning I was so confused to learn English effortless, Idk anything about. all my confusion is faded over the time as I watch your videos over and over. and for now on I can 100% understand English as well. Thank you for your existence .

[@LukesEnglishPodcast]

There’s more to this episode than just toilet talk! 🚽🙊😂 And automatic subtitles are available if you need them 📖👍 0:33:21 for the buoy moment

[@sarahdcomedy]

Sorry for lowering the tone off right off the bat 😅

[@CANALIMPACTONEWS]

Hello, Luke. my name is Joel and I'm from Rio de Janeiro Brazil. I just study your lesson and actually shared your KZbin Channel Video everyday. I think you are really a fantastic teacher. I wish success in this important enterprise. A big hug. See you later.

[@v3nn3n]

Thank you! 1 hour of listening flew as 1 minute !

[@davidtorresampai8809]

[@amddesign]

I listen to your podcasts on a daily basis and I can see the progression of my English. Thanks. Greetings from Poland

[@olegpasichnyk5126]

Hallo! Let's learn together!

[@RebekAtarihuana]

I enjoyed so much this podcast, Luke and Sarah. I guess "buoy" was the most shocking part for me too - the pronunciation is so different. I've learned so much from you guys. Thank you, again:)

[@thiagomatu]

I really enjoy it when you bring people to your podcast. DIfferent accents, and cultures, it is fantastic for a learner. Thanks Luke

[@wafben1916]

I really enjoyed watching this episode. I've been listening to your podcasts for more than one year. I'm passionate about English language and adore the British accent. It's my favourite. I'm an English teacher and I feel different and unique with my British accent.

[@angelalyashko7919]

This episode was very interesting and so useful. Thank you!

[@Mark-ro5lf]

Hello there! I am so happy because I saw the entire episode without English Subtitles it was a great video listening you both guys with your different English accents.

[@kimjack267]

I recently found out your podcast and have started studying with it. I actually used to listen to videos in American English. You made me get interested in British English. I'll keep listening to your podcast.

[@alessandrabellucci9534]

Also in Italy we call it Turkish toilet. It used to be popular until the fifties I guess. I saw one recently in the courtyard of an old public housing and still used as a café's toilet. It is actually quite hygenic because only your feet touch the toilet. It also puts you in what doctors call an anatomically correct position =)

Wonderful Episode! I love when you talk about the language. Thanks 🙏👏👏👏

[@abyouda167]

As soon as I hear you speaking , I'm over the moon, your voices makes me high in a very positive way 😂 and buckle down on improving myself in life in general, I'm coming from your Spotify podcast by the way:)

[@oblincksrichemond9172]

Thanks for the contents guys, I'm learning a lot from you Luke; you're doing an amazing job. Lots of love from Haiti 🇭🇹 Thanks xxx

[@vanminhvo5735]

[@joseortiz764]

This kind of videos are really helpful for all Spanish people who want to improve our English for a better opportunity 😃👌 thanks so much and greetings from Costa Rica 🇨🇷

[@osmanduzyol5046]

As a Turkish listener, I would like to add something about toilet hygiene. We are using water for cleaning ourselves after the toilet thing. It is quite an effective way. By the way, Luke, you are the best...😊

[@ieltscracker_]

Lol

[@heidrunholtel2077]

Yesterday I had a really funny conversation. I told a friend about some words from the Podcast and the friend did'nt believe me, you don't say "Downtown" in british English. The argument was the series "Downtown Abbey" is set in Britain. :D I had to laugh so hard.

[@TheSMZ2009]

Fantastic episode. I enjoyed it. It would be nice to do an episode about the French words in British English. They're many and their pronunciation is so difficult and funny. Thank you very much Luke and Sarah.

[@hilalahmad7286]

This was wonderful Luke! Sarah and Luke were awesome. Hope to see you again soon!

[@exploserester6041]

When I was running today, I was listening to this😃

[@nasortrust8823]

Hello Luke You're incredible teacher with great english teaching skills. i'm remembering Sarah from the last episode.. it was the first time i had learned the word chalk..when you and Sarah tells the differnt pronounciation between American and british english for it , i was having a nice laughter over chalk and chaaalk😄. Thank you ver much

[@lisapatrikeevna5253]

[@polinaskok2209]

Hello! I'm from Russian, Bryansk and here some schools, kindergartens and universities still have these so-called Turkish toilets, and yes they're double or even triple with no partition 😥

[@v3nn3n]

That's why your soldiers are stealing toilet bowls from Ukraine!

[@relishrodriguez4954]

Sarah Donnelly is back on the podcast. I have watched the video up to minute 5. Then I will continue watching the video. Thanks.

[@GoWithAndy-cp8tz]

I like so much listen to British English but I'm unable to speak that, so I speak American English accent and this makes me so much happy because It wasn't my intention to sound American but I have it just from the box - no much effort to achieve. Cheers!

[@user-ud8fk5lz9w]

[@shalomitta]

Hi, Luke! This episode is relevant to me. I wanted to know more of those words that have different meanings in different languages (UK and US English) after I once learned the difference between trousers and pants 😮😅 it’s so funny

[@joseignacioestevez3045]

I think the buoy comes from the word buoyancy .

[@alicerossi_ap]

It seemed to me that you say "grocery" differently: you Luke say like "gro sə ry" and Sarah say like "gro ʃə ry" or something like that (if I'm not wrong). Either way, thank you very much for this very helpful and pleasant conversation 👋

[@jaroslavaslavnaja]

Great!👏

[@indonesia-learnindonesiala5824]

Greeting from Indonesia....talking about toilet that Indonesia traditionally has a toilet which is at the same level with the floor that user step ...so user has to squat down. ...it will confuse European n American I think.

[@salehissa7329]

Amazing man I don't have to say keep it up but keep it up 😄

[@ylxneeri]

She is so funny 🤣

[@azdinz5757]

Turkish toilet is healthier than others, but it's better to have both some people can't use the Turkish , Especially those with feet or back pain

[@lifewithcats5446]

Awwww.... I laughed out loud. It's a good one :D

[@heidrunholtel2077]

Nice episode! I learnt new things! I never knew you don't say "Downtown" in the UK! Haha, I also know a lot of people, who say "Downtown Abbey". :D I hate this Turkish toilets. When I was traveling to Turkey and Italy I was a real problem for me. :(

[@SashaDaeith]

So glad to finally discover the pronunciation of Worcestershire 😂

We Turks say it 'Ayakyolu'(the way to feet) or 'Hela' 😀

hey Luke what do you mean when you say it helps the algorithm ?

[@LukesEnglishPodcast]

KZbin uses algorithms to decide which videos to promote. One of the factors which affects whether videos get promoted by KZbin’s algorithms is if people like and subscribe while watching.

Hi Luke Thank you for your efforts and prolific contents. I'm from Iran and I am one of your aficionados. In my country, due to tyranny sanctions on banking system, I'm not capable of using your premium service. What would be your solution?

I wonder anyone noticed Sarah’ broken nail before she said that, haha

Luke as proper English man you had to sing Sweet for my Sweet by the Searchers after Sarah Donnely sang I Want Candy by Bow Wow Wow 🍭🍬🍫🍭🍪

[@LukesEnglishPodcast]

😂True!

[@sezenpalaz427]

I don’t understand why Sarah is so obsessed with the Turkish Toilet ? ıs that the only place to talk about in that beautiful building ? How about your beautifully furnished office ??

[@iData]

But then how does Sara pronounce a pull-buoy for swimming ? A "pull-bouee" ?
