Without your explanation and a summary of the story, I can't understand it because of the old fashion language, which makes it really difficult to comprehend. Thank you Luke.

Your work is absolutely brilliant! Please continue creating more videos featuring captivating, long stories like this. It feels like immersing myself in a fantastic movie experience!

[@janieforb]

This podcast brings back a lot of memory and enjoyment I used to have for Sherlock Holmes series. Thank you so much. So now I'm rewatching all seven seasons played by Jeremey Brett, I used to watch the dubbed version when I was in primary school on my small TV. And what makes me even happier now is that I can understand what the characters are saying better.

[@stellamanochi5170]

Thank you very much!!! You deserve un Oscar for your perfomance !!!!!😊

Hello Luke I have been watching your podcast for 2 months and I love them so much I recommend your podcast to around 7 students every day :) thank you for your effort 🙏

I am listening to Sherlock holmes story for the very first time , I understood the complete story just because of your narrative style & making the plot clear to everyone after pausing it for a while , Very grateful to you ❤

[@diegoaugusto1319]

This is my favorite tale of Sherlock Holmes, unbelievable .

[@liocliff]

Thank you Luke for these podcast stories. This one was really more difficult to understand because of the old vocabulary but your summaries definitely helped o lot. I really like these podcasts with the text we can read at the same time. So thank you very much.

[@gkam11]

Thank you very much, Luke, for such an interesting and joyful story you shared with us! Your voice, narrative, and performance are amazing. Thank you again!

[@takayo4168]

Thank you so much for providing us such a great video! I just managed to follow the story through your summarization, but really enjoyed this intriguing detective story. I suppose, the video version is much more exciting than the podcast version, because your face expression makes the story telling more thrilling and captivating!

[@alexsenges5197]

Since our first interaction, a strong feeling emerged within me that your Learning English Platform will significantly enhance my vocabulary, comprehension, and speaking skills. Luke, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to you. Your words are truly inspirational, and I'm genuinely excited to embark on this journey of growth and improvement!

[@user-uq9rm6ik8w]

Hello Luke, I have read all the Sherlock Holmes adventures in French many years ago, it was a real pleasure but now it's a renewed true delight to discover again these story with you in English you are a very good storyteller Thank you so much Luke.

[@vvaskey]

Hi Luke! It was a great and funny episode. I found it very entertaining. Your facial expression and your voice are perfect. You're doing good lessons, I'm so grateful for this:) I got around 70% of the story. Your short comments helped me a lot! Thank you🩷 Please make more videos like that 🙏

[@alexandredorogov4141]

It’s so good to learn English this way !!! Love it !!!

[@dziavorthinking3858]

The episode 30 of LEP was brilliant and Sherlock Holmes had been investigating the case which happened in episode 29. I can't help listening to those podcasts again and again!

[@user-tg1sb2qi3u]

Thank you, Luke. Your English pronunciation is absolutely clear for my ears, so that l can figure out every single word of the story. I adore Sherlock Holmes to boot. I'd be remarkably grateful to hear more stories about this character from your lips.

[@kalinakostova9053]

Even if the English learner understands everything he reads, he will still miss the pronunciation. You've hit the spot, Luke. Godspeed.

[@sienicampos]

Just love everything. I'm a long-time Sherlock Holmes' fan. Your reading/voice/explanations are so great! Thank you, Luke.

[@may_0626]

Wonderful content! I love Sherlock Holmes since long ago and your way of teaching makes the stories even better 💙

[@user-so8hm7wl7u]

Thank you for the lovely episode as always. I can't read sort of episode by myself...but your short summary every time and your reading aloud are so helpful to understand the story. Thanks! I enjoyed it so much.

[@nataliafilippova6539]

Dear Luke, thank you so much! You 've made my day!)))

[@ValBrindilles]

It is a real pleasure to finally understand a story in another language than his own, especially since the voice of the narrator is sublime. Thank you very much 🤗

[@usausatraveling6054]

Thank you Luke, it was a perfect story

[@user-bt4dv3wu8i]

I listened to the end, I really liked everything, thank you very much! Please continue!

Excellent teacher I love him

[@Kaderlid13]

Hi Luke, I’ve loved Dr. Watson’s Sherlock Holmes Stories for decades! Your voice and intonation is a perfect match to the stories! If you’d do a whole series of them, I’d surely buy them! 🥰 Heartfelt greetings from Germany! ❤

[@user-mu3vk5fm5g]

Hi Luke. Your channel and this video that KZbin recommended me is one of the best findings on the Internet for a long time. After ten minutes of watching I have recommended it to my students. Because you read the story and explain it very well and there is also a text in front of the eyes to help. That makes understanding it quite easy even despite the 19th century language. So what you do is really helpful for the foreign learners. Thank you very much.

[@Juvelir97]

The best youtube channel for english learners ever!🎉

[@Filmdolmetscherin]

This was a really nice episode! Thank you from Berlin for all these nice lessons! My English pronunciation has improved so much! Not only that, I search for terms much less often! And I really like the humour and your short dialogues from the "side stage". Another ninja coming out of the shadows :-) I am a conference interpreter for French and German and lived in Paris for a long time. Now I would love to book an English course in Paris so that what I always say comes true: "Luke, my English teacher!" I have also already "infected" my sweetheart! Merci beaucoup et bonne continuation et tout le bonheur pour toi et ta petite famille !

It was hard for me to read detective stories in English as the details were important but the language was not so easy to get everything. So it's my first detective story in English that I could clearly understand - thanks to your explanations!!! Very satisfying 😀

Until now I was not reading or listening to any Holmes history and this history and your voice convinced me to read more.

[@tsengramon8456]

Thank you for taking time to read this story. It’s an excellent method for learning English.

[@idabakos2063]

Thanks a lot! I've loved story of Sherlock Holmes since I was a child, so it was a pleasure whatching/listening this video!

[@alejandrosantana2954]

I had to read a sherlock holmes book last year for university. Stories are really captivating. Thanks Luke 😊

[@toomasvendelin]

I was taught a ridiculous Soviet dialect of English at school - I'm old enough, you see. Later, while doing my compulsory military service in the 80-s, I've decided to learn English properly, and did it reading Sherlock Holmes stories, grinding through a page or two in a day. The method was to write out every word, and look its meaning up in a pocket dictionary according to the context. The key point was to write such words out no matter how many times I stumbled upon them, but, apart from that, spend no effort memorizing them. This way, the words I wrote more often were automatically given the higher priority, and so were the subtleties of each of them. I think I speak a decent English nowadays, so I have no idea why this video was suggested to me by KZbin. But I really enjoyed listening to "The Red-Headed League" story, despite knowing almost by heart. Thank you!

[@rebeccalai4447]

Thank you very much,Luke. I love Sherlock Holmes story since I was a kid. It is a really good English learning content for me.

[@leew8906]

Mr. Luke! Thank you for the wonderful stories! I truly enjoy your lessons😊

[@sujatanaik6093]

I enjoyed. Earlier I used to get bored while reading Sherlock Holmes stories as the vocabulary was difficult to understand but when you summarize it helps to understand easily. Thanks.

[@elidentairuc8731]
