Listening you makes me feel like I'm an English master... I can understand about 99.5% of what you say. A real pleasure!

Luke, I hope you’re well. You’re the best guy who teaches English. I appreciate it. Wish i talk like you clearly.

[@cevahir1155]

Hi Luke. Please more videos with short stories and vocabulary explanations. On the one hand, you learn the formal language, on the other hand, you learn the everyday language when explaining vocabulary and you are so good at both!🤟🏻

[@quovadis9372]

Hello there! Tonight's weather where I live, with its wind, thunderstorms, and rain, is setting the perfect mood for a creepy story. The wind is howling, thunder is rumbling , and rain is pouring down, creating a frightening atmosphere outside. And I love creepy stories 👀

[@vinisafonso]

Woow! That's was a good one. I'd like to add one more hypothesis: that they could be his auncle and aunt and made the call because they wanted to do something bad with him and lied that him didn't arrieved in there. Thank you for this story, Luke! 🇧🇷

Oh it was really scary but I feel better when I read your comment. Thank you

[@catherinegergeaux5561]

Hi Luke, It is only yesterday that I came across your podcasts. A genuine pleasure to hear speaking english as if a friend was talking to us. Or sharing part of the afternoon, casually chattering with us in our living room. Today I listened to the short story you called The Invitation : I found it really thrilled and compelling ! Let me tell you why. As soon as the author drove through the countryside, signs of desolation appear - scattered here and there in his story : the poor reception of the phone, the old fashioned map he had to rely on, the roads without any names and the scarce post signs if any... at last this thickening sense to be away from any kind of civilisation... Lost ! Let's go further... The house completely covered in leaves, branches and overgrown trees : there we are ! At that stage, I felt we were heading to a kind of a split space-time story ! (which would have been fine, too) Ant then, comes this fairy-tale encounter. Now, imagine the old couple ; from their point of view a stranger has suddenly appeared in the night, a lonely young man lost in the remote countryside. Well,then : a warm -hearted welcome will confort him, for sure, and what's best than a nice stewed meal to lift his mind up ?! We would had been grateful to any parents if our beloved son - those room is shut since its departure (or death ?) - had recieved such warmful greetings. And since the lost young man showed signs of trouble or despair - he never stopped talking of his family and of a cousin whom he should meet here - We decided to keep him here over night - sound and safe - presuming that a return home would have been too hazardous in his state. The following development gave us reason - for as soon as we headed to our son's room - left empty since his departure - and getting it ready for him, our young fellow had vanished ! Disappeared in the thickness if the night ! What a weird feeling indeed ! For my part I do believe this story is true. It also can be seen as a metaphore of what this young man was then living. Il belongs to him and only he will find out. What is sure is that he still recalls it seven years later... Kind regards

[@flower6754]

Thank you teacher Luke. I enjoyed the story. I cringed when his mom said his aunt called and said he never arrived. At first I thought he was rude. Later I was very happy to learn that he got a narrow escape. Thank you.

Wow 😲! We've been in for a treat, Luke! A thousand thanks 🙏 for the podcast! I've loved 😍 this preternatural, beyond-the-grave, sort of Stephen-Kingy, Carpenter-ian short story, with a delicate touch of Hitchcock on it. I couldn't help but being all the time mulling over The Mist, Psychosis... An invigorating shot in the arm for starting the week! Wish you a fruitful one!

[@womendep]

Amo este canal, me ayuda mucho con el ingles porque nosotros los hispanos cuando escuchamos a un gringo por telefono tenemos que imaginarnos las palabras en la mente si o si . Y esta forma de enseñar me ayuda mucho ya que puedo, escuchar la pronunciacion y ver la palabra a la vez, acompañada de una hermosa voz masculina.

[@tsetsegmaaravjindamba2082]

Thank you for your podcast. It is very useful for me to learn English

[@agnieszkag.9581]

I listened to this story twice: during the day and late in the evening. The time of day affects reception! In the evening, the story seems more terrifying. And your comment on this story, Luke, makes it even scarier when you suggest what might have been an ingredient in the dish, what might have been in the locked room. Such uncertainty and ambiguity stimulates our imagination and evokes greater fear than some obvious bloodthirsty monster.😮

[@hazemmohamed6858]

Thanks for helpful videos. I like your clear voice. I'm from Japan, and I had allergic to English. I didn't have confidence to use English, especially in grammar. You explain difficult words easier, so I can understand these stories.

[@yurymaestrovitkalov160]

Hello, Luke! Thank you for the story. I think it's a great and a sad story. The guy came to the wrong house. They were not his aunt and uncle, but they seemed to be happy to have a visitor. Maybe they were very old people, maybe they had Alzheimer's disease. And they really didn't want him to leave them.

Right. I agree with you guys, the risks were possible in that house. Luckily, he felt an urge to escape from there. Such was a good feeling. The old couple might have been dangerous or might not, but a potential risk was hidden somewhere in the house.

Hi Luke, thank you very much for your interesting podcasts. The way you explain the meaning of the words, idioms and grammar is really amazing: so clear!!! I really like you pronunciation.

Hi, Luke! The moment you read the first lines, I expected to hear something like the story about how a cousin lured the main character to his house and locked him in a room with an enormous wild very aggressive Brazilian cat. The story was written by Arthur Conan Doyle. Though I was mistaken, the story you read is not less tense, creepy or scary. And I don’t think he confused the address. Remember, he had never contacted them, let alone seen them, and all of a sudden, he got invited to their place . It looks very suspicious , to say the least. The character of your story was clever to follow his gut feeling, which saved his life. Thank you for all your episodes. And congratulations for your baby son. May he be a healthy child!
