This is the first time I've managed to read an entire english story in just 2 hours. Without your explanation, I wouldn't have been able to do that on my own. Thank you, Luke.

[@LukesEnglishPodcast]

The story begins properly at 10:00 if you want to skip my introduction. You get a bonus point for every time I say "Boggins" instead of "Boggis" 😅

Hi Luke, I am a mother from Taiwan. My children did love Roald Dahl stories. I didn’t expected that I watched the whole video at one time after my breakfast when I just came to the channel at the first time! The story is extremely out of my imagination and your talking skill is attractive and easily understandable. I will watch other videos for more interesting topics and stories. It is exactly the way I want to be more familiar with English. Thank you for your works!

Yes, it can be difficult to understand speakers that are speaking quickly and running their words together. Although, the more you listen to native speakers, the easier it becomes.

@@LukesEnglishPodcast More, more, more stories, please. I am from Ukraine and now I am in another country, and I feel very uneasy and uncomfortable with my English. Your stories are very good, and your teaching skills are amazing. I have an English teacher, but I could not even compare them to you because you are far above them. I prefer video because I am a very bad listener, my mind often wanders, and when I see words, I can gather my attention again. I am a visual person. Let me explain. When I am listening to something, my mind sticks to one word, for example, you say "George's house," and I have a friend named George, and I start thinking about him, and oops! I am out of the plot. It never happens when I am watching video,. I need something to look at, and I really appreciate your acting skills. The way you tell stories and express emotions makes the story much more entertaining.

[@jeevalbedo]

Because of the film industry, the Internet and streaming services American English has been predominant worldwide,which often makes British English lovers_ like me_feel longing for hearing it. Soooo,thanks for your great pronunciation and clear English. And another thank you for retaining my English,as a retired English teacher from Türkiye. I'll always be all ears...❤❤❤

Hello Luke, thank you so much for making these videos with short stories, you are absolutely BRILLIANT, a great actor and imitator! I have seen and listened to your Mountain and this RD eposode only, but I can´t wait to hear the rest that is here for me... This time I tremendously enjoyed Parson´s Pleasure, as Roald Dahl is in my view the best English short story writer (not speaking of his autobiography The Boy and Flying Solo!). To my big excitement you even inspired me to watch the Tales of the Unexpected - I didn´t know anything like that existed!!! I watch your videos instead of watching TV, it´s such delight and fun. Please continue. Lots of admiration for this not so easy job and love from Prague!👋👍

[@brahimaksasse2577]

Many thanks, Luke, for sharing the story "Parson's Pleasure." I have watched it twice and thoroughly enjoyed the show. It is truly an amazing story, and the way you presented it helped us understand its deeper meaning. The story imparts valuable lessons about honesty, fairness, and kindness. It reminds us that greed and selfishness can often lead to unexpected and undesired outcomes, as depicted by the antique furniture dealer in this story and in real life in general.
