Hello, Luke! I'm an English teacher from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I' m delighted to hear your perfect R.P. English pronunciation. You are very kind and patient explaining things that are too simple for you. Love it when you chuckle, kind of admitting that a joke is terrible. I guess your work is truly helpful for students of English. I learnt a few things about world culture. Thank you so much! 😊

[@jiazhang5808]

Finally, I found someone who makes English videos that I am interested in.

[@marciagalvaofreitas6936]

Why doesn’t everybody speak English like Luke? the world would be so understandable, English learning would be so easy, the people would be eager to learn, so much to thank you Luke and specifically your sense of humor. You were born to be what you are, a great English teacher¡ kissy kissy from Mexico city ❤❤❤❤

[@MegaLaverita]

I liked the German joke particularly well, of course also a few others

[@-japaneseorigamiclassbyris5000]

I also listen to teacher Luke's English every day for my practice. Cheer up ourselves ❤😊

[@mariapersico3438]

@maguybotti448 At least Marquinhos made an effort and wrote in English instead of just criticizing jotting down three poor words in French, which don't even make up a whole sentence.

[@user-ij8pe7kp3d]

Luke talking to himself, getting hit by reality, and then laughing in a deflated, incredulous voice is just too lovely and funny LOL.

[@Elena-tw9ou]

I adore joke episodes, I hope you catch more frogs for dissection🐸

[@Crisguay]

What a relief! I'm not the only one who doesn't get some jokes!!! Thanks again Luke for being so human 🤗🤗

[@Staruha91]

Greeks hints at the word “bricks”, so it sounds like “bricks and concrete”. The joke doesn’t work really, but at least now you see what the word “Greeks” was supposed to refer to here.

[@user-fw3sg2hc4f]

The Australia criminal record joke got me laugh the most.

[@crazygamer-wy4ef]

Luke, i love listening to your podcasts and your videos have helped me to improve my english in a very large scale!!!

Mr Luke's thank you for improving my English vocabulary , and you know your channel is great and your way of speaking is so incredible because of your way I so interested always in your channel.

[@schiponchik]

About the 38. Czech mate. It also sounds like “шах и мат” in Russian and may be in Czech it sounds the same way. So it seems more deep joke, like it has two levels 😊 «шах и мат» means complete victory. And chess is called «шахматы» in Russian. So this name consists of those two words

[@robertkukuczka9469]

In Polish : Szach i mat. (A complete victory).

[@j-lneville655]

Hello Luke's English Podcast.Thank you for this "funny" lesson.I think, when you can laugh with a joke in a foreign language then your level is good. I 'm french so the story on "le tour de France" suits me. See you soon. From Paris

[@user-raptoryatko11]

I get it, thank you))

[@UsefulEnglish-li4vw]

Suuuper Episode

[@marinakulikowska269]

Russian jokes start with looking over one's shoulder. We went even far since this joke had been created ( assosiation with Stalin KGB times being actual till now). Here is a current one: "You sit down on your cellphone by chance and might get 5 criminal records at once" (for your accidental comments of the power). But we don't complain as we can't!)

[@carinatorres2884]

😂 Luke tu es tellement drôle ! Thanks 🙏

[@anacatarinaleite8015]

Luke, your face when you read the jokes is surreally funny

[@user-bn5pc8yx6c]

The joke I liked the most was the one about the bee. It is very funny😂❤❤

May is my favourite too.
