[@LukesEnglishPodcast]

I had a lot of fun doing this episode. Thanks for watching it and leaving your comments. I will do some more things like this in the future, probably (but not a car accident).

[@kamranmehmood4020]

Helooo mr.luke i want to learn english from you . Can personaly you give me coaching. Plz provide your instagram or whatsapp nmb

[@takaloo_rn]

Hello Luke! I'm so excited to have discovered you on KZbin. Even though your podcast is 1 hour and 40 minutes long, I've enjoyed listening to it twice because it's truly captivating. I must say, I've become quite a fan of yours. Your accent is wonderful, and your passion and hard work are truly inspiring. Thank you very much!

[@vjaja2233]

Hi Luke, very interesting episodes and stories I have listened to. And your English is sound for me, like the BBC English speaker.Thanks. 😊

[@Margarita5171]

[@agnieszkag.9581]

Mr. Thompson, I admire your passion for teaching. You instill your enthusiasm and energy in your students/listeners/viewers, to whom I have had the pleasure and honor to belong for several months now. What's more, you not only teach English, but also care about expanding the horizons of Lepsters. You inspire and educate hundreds of thousands of people around the world 24/7. Luke's English Podcast is an empire where the sun never sets😉

[@mikhail7587]

So nicely written!

[@sajidahanif2811]

Tremendous idea to emphasis the different vocabulary in different situations,.its not only to learn the language, much more of someone's to elaborate ,the variety of language scenarios. No doubt merely a great teacher can do it who has a great passion about his profession. Its a fascinating idea for all teachers. No word's to appreciate this idea ,so amazing. Thanks

[@dudeinthecrowd]

to emphasize

[@duongnam775]

your voice really inspired me to learn english

[@mohammadbahrami8492]

you nailed it!👏 I haven't seen anything like that before. It was absolutely perfect. To tell you the truth I've always been looking for something like this but I didn't know exactly what to do or where to find it. You actually paraphrase it in 15 different ways. you did it man💪 you did it!

[@takaloo_rn]

Thank you so much, Luke Thompson, for creating such an insightful and valuable podcast! Your video provided me with a fresh perspective on describing an event in different styles and I truly appreciate the effort you put into making it. Looking forward to more content from you!

[@user-km3gk9jl5n]

Hi Luke! This one’s really funny😂 Entertaining as well as educational. I like how you play with chatgpt and also with different voices. You definitely nailed the bbc broadcaster voice over haha. I’d say the experiment is quite successful 🎉 keep up with the jrr-talking lol

[@veroniquecourtat9833]

Brilliant!

[@user-zj7if5vs5y]

What a great lesson! Thank you Luke

[@joannawojciechowska2678]

Great episode! It reminds me of that book by Raymond Queneau, 'Exercises de style', have you read it? It's quite old, but still impressive and entretaining. Thanks for your performance, I loved it.

[@rdcnouveaudepart584]

Definitely, @Luke’s Podcast is one of my most favorite English language learning platform. Thus, I always recommend it to my friends non native English speakers. ❤

[@rasulgeraev1097]

SalamAlleikum, Luke from Russia. You are the best podcaster I’ve ever listen to. With all respect from Russia.

Luke is incredible ! Thank you for your work, it was not boring and I am really loving your pronunciation !! Some literary versions made me google the unknown words. I try listening your video every day for an hour regulary.

[@madlenarayanlieva7448]

Impressive episode! Quite useful and informative! Great imitations… enjoyed your Tolkien voice the most! 👏

[@hilalahmad7286]

Thanks Luke for showing us how the structure of a language changes depending on the context! It was really informative and entertaining as well.

[@Rita-xo1ne]

And the style of an alien race of super-intelligent computers is thrilling.

[@dkolo]

This episode was so cool, that I felt a strong desire to comment it urgently. Good job 👏

[@user-hp9qr8yi7c]

I must admit, that Luke definitely has a particular set of skills that made me laugh :) I had a lot of fun watching this episode. Thanks Luke!

[@pameladilmarojasalvarado5963]

Totally enjoyable episode and class. Thank you Luke's English Podcast.

[@maceli2686]

Oh Luke, got the PDF. Many thanks. Extremely helpful ! ❤❤

[@adeebhassan4468]

Thank you Mr luke for your tremendous effort on these episodes, and this new style is very helpful and useful thank you from the heart P.S. Can I ask you for another episode from this style? like 15 greeting styles in daily talk or 15 interview style by using chat GPT this is a very creative way to imagine how you should be going in a situation

[@veradellaqua1883]

Watching this podcast was a delight! I learned and had a lot of fun! Fantastic idea, with a phenomenal wealth of details! Your interpretations are very funny, and with them we were able to clearly see how the facts "present themselves" depending on who reports them and what language is used! Thank you Luke

[@sluggo206]

Great episode! I'm amazed you came up with so many styles, including those that would not be a normal car accident report. As for Tolkien, now we know why it's good that newspaper articles aren't in Tolkien style.

[@mariiashashenova1371]

Hi Luke, thanks for a really great episode, it will be wonderful to see more videos like this!

[@chrstinebrugger5763]

Hello Luke, your ideas for these podcasts are phenomenal. I enjoy it very much. And about all I am able to follow your spoken English. Listening to the English language is my greatest issue. Here I can get an experience of success which motivates for doing more. Thanks a lot Christine

[@buonleo]

With grateful heart, I thank thee, and bestow This humble ode, a token of my praise, Thine work enchants, and shall for endless days!

[@thednartsnubet6925]

That's a great effort! When it comes to listen podcast, I always choose to listen yours only. It's very clear to me and really helpful to pronounce the words, punctuations and language styles. Great thanks from Burma. I reckon that I'm the only one who've been listening your podcast from Burma and I gave my suggestion to my friends, who are trying to learn English, to look your podcast up on youtube almost everytime talking about learning English. Have a good one, Luke. I appreciate your efforts immensely.

[@user-hb4pu2qb1f]

Hi Luke! I listen to you every time I can . I like this episode a lot , it's very useful for me because I'm studying Teaching Training Course. Well, I send my regards to you from Argentina ❤ Byeeeeee!!!!!!

[@eviestell1062]

I really love your voice ❤️❤️

[@arankagarai8933]

It's phenomenal!!!! Unfortunately my English vocabulary can't express what this your performance is fantastic to hear . Thank you so much.:))))))

[@elenasukhikh540]

Luk, thank you very much for your job! It’s interesting, unusual, important and amusing as well. I am from Russia , I have been watching your podcasts regularly and I am so happy to come across you! Your job is amazing 🤩

[@ihori779]

Wow! It's truly a remarkable source of entertainment to immerse oneself in such diverse styles of English. Just for the sake of amusement, I inserted the prompt "A summer day written in a ....'s style." The first attempt took on a Shakespearean tone, resulting in a lovely sonnet that I yearned to commit to memory. The subsequent Dickensian piece showcased a magnificent art of storytelling, reminiscent of the works of Charles Dickens himself. If you were to search diligently, you might stumble upon a similar passage in any of his beloved novels, ranging from "Barnaby Rudge" to "Martin Chuzzlewit" and beyond, including the timeless "Pickwick Papers." The Roald Dahl-inspired composition captured the essence of his unique writing style flawlessly. I adored it. Lastly, the Le Carré style, despite the cheerful backdrop of a summer day, transported us into an atmosphere brimming with thrilling espionage and the anticipation of unfolding drama..

[@silvyaandrade2975]

One of the best episodes!!!!

[@anzgabriel]

You immerse me in such a way into the episodes, that I forget to click the like button!

[@lily_neira]

Hi Luke It's amazing what Chat GPT can do Yet a little frightening..-- I wonder if it is the end of writers and if it can make humanity redundant . I hope not! Thank you for the episode!

[@Cesarsanvicente]

Amazing GPT!

[@user-tu7iz6zr5t]

Thank you Luke! I listen your podcast from Siberia. This episode was interesting!

[@burakarslan205]

That was enjoyable Luke. Thanks

[@yavuzselimoksuz6795]

Awesome lecture🎉thank you so much professor

[@cathyblazquez]

Luke, you've had an EXCELLENT idea for this episode! Of course it would've meant lots of hard work if you had had to do it without the Chat GTP. Anyway, you did work hard just by making comments on the different writing styles and you read each version with enthusiasm, commitment and a great takent so it was really entertaining and you made me laugh. Thank you for everything you do for us, listeners and fans! By the way, I wonder how many engineers, technicians and teachers worked on that machine! And how long!!! I do hope you prepare more episodes like this one. Thanks a lot! 😊😅🎉❤

[@patriciagomez9366]

This was sooooo much fun. Thank you. "I don't know why" but I DO LOVE "TAKEN". My bf called it (in Spanish -our mother tongue-): "Angry dad".
