[@olgaancevska8662]

When thinking about the 2023 highlights, Luke’s English podcast comes first in line. Fun, educative, creative, smart. I got really addictive to it. Not only me, I guess. Calm and soothing voice, intelligent manners, sparkling sense of humor. It is all about you, Luke!!! You, Your friends, family and guests! Thank You for all you’ve done for us! Honestly. HUGE THANK YOU! And it is not only about teaching us English. It’s about teaching us LIFE. Christmas greetings from Latvia to You and Your loved ones! ❤❤❤

Hi Luke, I'm listening to your podcasts from Iran 🇮🇷 ...we have been cut off from international banking system due to sanctions and we are unable to pay for anything outside the country, including english courses on foreign websites , even KZbin is banned and we have to pay VPN fees to watch your videos. I can not tell you how grateful I am for your time and effort and uploading free podcasts and videos on KZbin, it has been a huge help. Thank you and God bless you 🙏

[@Nadin-p4w]

I've read this story not once, and know it too well! But in your rendering it with these wonderful bits of acting Dickens' Carol has really made my eyes wet . Thank you so much. But maybe it's also my age which let me understand the spirit of the narrative deeper than I managed to do in my younger years. And I've decided to add something else. I probably was so much emotional while listening to the story because of the beautiful English it was written in and beautiful rendition of yours.

[@56anubis]

One of my favourites stories.I read It at first time when I was a child, and I was fascinated .

[@ionela_andreea30]

[@Tom11675]

Luke has been a true inspiration and motivation for the improvement of the English language throughout this year. he has something special that no other instructor possesses. in addition to being a very attractive man,he makes listening to and watching his podcast one of the most enjoyble moments of my day i've read this story not once, and know it too well! but in your rendering it with these wonderful bits of acting Dickens, Carol has really made my eyes wet. Thank you so much. but maybe it's also my age which let me understand the spirit of the narrative deeper than ianaged to do in my younger years. and I've decided to add something else. i probably was so much emotional while listening to the story because of the beautoful English it was witten in and beautiful rendition of yours did you know, that if you break off the top of the chocolate santa, you can pour inside it champaign or something like that and drink, using santa as a glass, but swiftly;) i wanted to again thank you for reading

It's not Christmas time now, but it was wonderful! I remember when I watched the movie in the past and now I heard you, you were the spirit that took me to the past with my memories and made me return to the present and with you I will have a better level of English in the future, does that make sense?! You seem like a good spirit... Yes, a wonderful experience. Thankss Luke!!

[@monikaotczyk1363]

[@justbaby-d5i]

Thank you! this story brought back the taste of Christmas for me. God bless you!❤❤❤ Orthodox Christmas 2024

[@jurgenschur9210]

I already read some easy made stories from Charles Dickens. I loved them all. But this story is special and many memories of my childhood come over me. My Grandparents and my parents were alive. My father played always the fiddle for the children to come in. The story makes me sad and happy. Thanks for telling it again.

[@chimak8332]

You are good English teacher ❤

[@helloitsme3]

Morning, Luke!

[@Hja00228]

Dear Luke I have been watching your videos a lot over the past few months. My favourites are the stories and the rambling ones. I have tried other English teachers and I always come back to you. Your voice is particularly clear and you are also a very nice guy with a great sense of humour. I want to thank you very much for that, because when times are tough, you cling on to whatever makes you feel good, regardless of the educational benefits. And your videos are very good at that: There is a lot of humanity in them, in addition to the specific content. For example, I think the episode where you narrate A Christmas Carol is wonderful in many ways: It's funny, it's deep, it's moving. I apologise if this post is a bit embarrassing, too Latin for an Englishman! Well, that's all what I wanted to say. In short, many thanks you for your videos: they are much more than just English lessons. A hug

[@silvanaposadabibolotti2341]

Luke you are great! The best teacher I’ve ever had!

[@madlenarayanlieva7448]

Wonderfully read and acted out! Always a true pleasure to listen to you and your stories! 👍💯👏

[@OlenaShtronda]

Thank you, Luke, for your great work! I've really enjoyed your reading! I've recently read A Christmas Carol with my son in Ukrainian within his school program, so it's been great to hear it again in English and in such an incredible performance!❤❤❤

[@innabalaban6988]

Thank you!!! You've read my favourite story! It inspires to be sympathetic and loyal.

[@abrarfuad3243]

Thanks, Luke, a fantastic performance, it was a heart-warming moment in my case. Please give more of story like that. A Merry Christmas to you!

[@中島蓮-k3z]

I didn't know this story is this moving and heartwarming. I studied his works helped people at the time(industrial revolution)to have respect the poor and to help them. It's absolutely one of the best masterpieces in the world and in the entire history. I am almost crying ...Sorry for my bad English but I want to say super big THANK YOU Thank you Luke and I hope everyone had a nice Christmas last year in 2023 I strongly wish peace....

Hi, Luke! Did you know, that if you break off the top of the chocolate Santa, you can pour inside it champaign or something like that and drink, using Santa as a glass, but swiftly ;)) I wanted to thank you for reading The Christmas Carol. I've got this book, but I never came round to read it, because of old-fashion English, it was difficult for me to read through it. But for now I've got acquainted with this amazing story and in the end of your reading my eyes got wet... I read ChD's book "Oliver Twist" in Russian, when I was I child, and it was one of my favorite books. I want to wish you and all your listeners around the world merry Christmas, peace and happiness in 2024. And I wish all mean and wicked people to become kind and generous.
