[@LukesEnglishPodcast]

Thank you for watching! Remember, Knowledge is Power! (France is bacon) and "Come on! You can do it!!" and just like Neil in The Matrix, "there is no spoon", and finally, just write something, anything, including a poem in the comment section if you like ✍😃

[@MusabHaron]

Francis bacon 😅

[@maksimaizer117]

Looking forward to the second part😊 France is bacon 🥓

[@GianlucaMariaLecchi]

While I am listening to your podcast I am spelling a good forecast: If I write a line per day I'll be simply know the way to give language a big houl and give life to my old soul. 😂 Thanks a lot for your precious contents teacher Luke Take care and carry on Gianluca from the outskirts of Milan

[@ruslana7583]

France isn't a bacon!) Thank you as usual for your magnificent gob! Good luck 👍

To our teacher Luke🎉 Thanks to Luke, our English guide, With every word, you help us glide. From grammar tips to laughs galore, Your podcast opens every door. With stories shared and lessons learned, For all your efforts, we feel concerned. So here’s our cheer, loud and clear, Thank you, Luke! We hold you dear!❤❤❤

[@KrissTomm]

Hello, everyone! I’ve been listening to your podcast for a couple of years now, and I’m really grateful for all the work you do, Luke. Lately, I’ve been feeling down about my English skills for the reason that I ve been telling myself: I m not good enough! I stuck at the intermediate level and no longer see any progress, that is frustraiting. But after watching this episode I feel inspired! :) I am gonna start writting a diary )) Hurray! That is so spot on: Perfect is the enemy of good! It's true that the most important thing is not to give up and keep learning the language, even if you don't see immediate results. Guys who feel the same way I d love to tell you- hang in there! We will get there! )) I would to add one more thing: stop comparing yourself to others. Better compare yourself with your past self: a day ago, a month ago, or a year ago. P.S. Luke I am sorry to hear about that awkward accident at the bakery. I could only wish that native speakers were more tactful and understandable. Perhaps he wasnt in the mood )) hehe {Kristina from Russia, Sakhalin island}

[@michiganian-girl]

I hear you, Christina! Same problem. After 20 years in the US, I still have a strong Russian accent. I don't think I'll ever speak like a native speaker, but I hope to at least improve my English a little. I'm 64 years old.

[@ОльгаБутина-р1о]

​@@michiganian-girlHello. You say that you have a strong Russian accent, it's Ok. All people who are not natives, have their own accent. And what about American people, do they understand you? What is their attitude to foreigners? Do you have the same problem with misunderstanding as Luke has?

[@KrissTomm]

@@michiganian-girl Hey)) I think an accent isn't a problem if people understand what you're saying and your speech is clear. Everyone has different goals when learning a language, but I believe accents are part of what makes us unique. They are interesting and show our backround! However, if your accent is very strong and it makes it hard for people to understand you, then it might be a good idea to work on your clarity of speech) Best of luck)

[@user-jy4es7sz7p]

My English is so bad , I can’t understand anything ,, I wish be one time like u 🥺 before 1 month I started learn English with luk’s podcast , can u help me and tell me how u been like this in English and what u do when u learn i mean waht u watch on youtub

[@NicolettaSanna]

This episode made me laugh a lot/ You’re always so fun, often teachers are not/ Every week you bring us a surprise/ over all benefits, so I recognize/ It’s you the one I want to show respect/ For all you gave us, for what we expect

[@MartinePineau-d3z]

It’s always a pleasure to listen to you, Luke ! You’re an excellent teacher and have a great sens of humor. That’s what we need in our daily lives… THANK YOU for all what you do for us. Martine

[@everaldomarquesdesousa5364]

Hello, Luke. I'm Brazilian and I live in the city of Estância, in the state of Sergipe. I'm a retired English teacher and I started to get interested in the English language through the Beatles' songs in the sixties. I've been watching your podcasts on KZbin, and I've been improving my pronunciation. I can understand very well what you say. I'm grateful for your contribution to my improvement.

[@cathyblazquez]

2008-2024 You are a wonderful teacher. I love listening to you talk about your past and present experiences, copying Arnold's voice and pronunciation and recommending authors. Useful, fun and moving. I've written 5 poems in English. Thank you, teacher Luke.🎉

Hi Lukas, I'm a brasilian old woman . I'M 70 years old. I Loved this episode Bits&Bobs.

[@juanmanuelfabresbriones5378]

Hi Luke! I watched the episode about your illness experience in Japón. It was wonderful. You are such a great story teller and also your thougths and the way you reflect about it sound close to any of us, in my opinion. I mean to those of us who have felt vulnerable in any way. Thanks for your sincerity and for being open and authentic. Cheers!

[@vinisafonso]

Today is teacher's day here in Brazil, so happy teacher's day to you Luke! Thank you for all lessons and effort. You're the best! 🤍

[@ksu_kak_dela]

This episode unexpectedly turned to be so motivating!!! In relation to Schwartzenegger's words. Thank you so much, Luke, I needed to hear those supportive words

[@adesanyastephen3947]

Luke, this is the best episode I have ever had. You did wonderful work to put this episode together. I vow that I would listen to this particular episode again. He enjoined me to push my English language studies forward. Especially in my IELTS prep. God bless you.

[@patriciadillon8199]

Excellent! I have learned a lot, not only vocabulary but also I have learned to think about myself, what's inside me. I have decided to follow your advice and begin writing a bit every day. Thank you so much!!!

[@JIAWEISUNJoey]

Hi, Luke. Thank you so much! With your help, I scored 6.0 in my second IELTS test, especially for my listening section, you know, in my first IELTS test, I only got 4.5 in my listening part. Now, I am preparing for my third IELTS test, it is on October 31st. Good luck to me! Well, this will be my final IELTS test. They are so expensive and torturous. I think it's time to call it quits. From China.

[@nadiaabduljawad-s9r]

Thank you, Luke. I have been watching your episodes for a couple of years. I enjoy every content you have provided and feel happy and good when listening to your episodes. I am from Syria, and my English was not as good as today. At that time, I felt depressed and hopeless that all the studying and consumption of English I did, did not appear to the surface. Today, I feel better about my English when I speak or express my opinion. Listening to your podcast is one of the things that has improved my English. As you said, keep moving, making little steps, and loving the things that you do, you will achieve that success at any point in your life and all the wonderful stuff will surprisingly reveal at the end. I compare my diaries written over two years, and I find how changes have been made to my English, it is all about practicing, studying hard, and not giving up.

[@toleenhani-s3s]

I'm typing this cause I wanna share my thoughts about the episode... At the first I didn't like the subject but I continued watching it anyway, and now I think it was an amazing episode. You've motivated me in my lowest time of learning English. Thanks for this wonderful episode. I Hope this comment will make you as happy as you did to me.

[@mizmiller5989]

That was extremely inspiring, Luke! Thank you so much for this episode! 🙏

[@dawa4706]

I feel so blessed that I get to learn English language from amazing teachers,thank you.

[@nlafrance403]

First to said you another times thank you fort teaching us with you usual good humor and diversifies informations and subjects. When I look this lesson, I repeat after you to hearing myself. I live in Québec and I dont have a lot of possibilities to talk an english. Have good evening.

[@elenamunoz1255]

Hi Luke! I do understand perfectly fine what you mean, because even when I have been studying English since child in Spain, my English is a complete disgrace. I was so upset about my terrible English that I moved to Oxford a few years ago. Unfortunately, for any reason, my English still is completely awful 😞. I tried everything, but ... nothing did work! I beat myself up every day because I think it's my fault don't speak native English . My British boyfriend think that my English is great, but I don't feel that way. This podcast had shown me that we don't have to always be perfect, so thank you so much !! Hugs from Spain 🌞

[@Tryasoguska]

Thank You Thank You Thank You ❤

[@OlgaCurious]

I'm 40 and I finally stopped bothering that in English I sound like I'm 14 and started to leave comments if I have anything to say even if it's silly or obvious things. I agree that a little bit is way better than nothing but if you want to achieve a lot you have to work your ass out. No pain no gain, kind of 😄 Lots of love to Arnold Schwarzenegger❤

[@MartinePineau-d3z]

It’s always a pleasure to listen to you, Luke ! You’re an excellent teacher and have a great sens of humor. That’s what we need in our daily lives… THANK YOU for all what you do for us.

[@benjaminllancarizuniga2873]

From 🟥⬜🟥🇵🇪 Hi Teacher Luke, Just want to express my sincere gratitude for your podcast... The penultimate podcast 903 was shocking, the way you describe it may seem that it was bearable, but the truth is that it must have been difficult for you. Feeling like a real stranger in a country where you still didn't have all the facilities. It is obvious that on the road of life, we walk in different directions, sometimes we suffer and sometimes we rejoice. What would have happened if...? Well, that's a big question that we will solve as we walk. Now you are there, sharing excellent content with all of us! 👋

[@Hja00228]

Thanks Luke!!

[@HaithamFathy-c6o]

It is the first time in my life, to found English interesting English,it`s very useful and it`s not the same as other channels, the good thing is that you will not get bored because he is putting many topics which will make you willing to complete, this is the 1st time this channel and I will subscribe with a wish I can watch more videos .thanks a lot Luke and wish you all the best

Thank you for podcasts

[@hilalahmad7286]

Thanks for this inspirational episode! I think perfecting oneself amounts to torturing oneself day in day out. It's not that we shouldn't seek perfection, it's just that we might postpone our journey towards perection for a while and focus on making ourselve understandable enough to be able to get across our thoughts.

[@dab6726]

Very useful format and entire episode. Thanks a lot, Luke

[@miper5498]

Hi Luke. I was at the park with my dog ​​and I was listening to your episode. I laughed out loud a lot. It was beautiful and liberating. Thank you. Michela from Italy

[@زانجلودوسدو]

Hi luke nice to see you

[@gianfranco8572]

I don't expect someone to read this really. It would be nice to have some feedback though. Yesterday I played this episode and motivated me to keep going. I was almost dead on my journey. Man I thought I would never be good at this. But I said just keep moving forward as the episode advises. So that's the reason I am writing this comment now. I will always look up to people that try to do a good job, not perfect but a good job. Thank you Luke and to everyone out there who does a good job, whatever your job is.

[@LukesEnglishPodcast]

Good job! You did it!
