You are the best Teacher I have had, thank you very much.

[@eljomar1453]

Hi luke. I have been listening to your podcasts since 2009. Thanks to your videos I was encouraged to continue studying English. Last year I graduated as an English teacher and I am still listening and enjoying your videos. At the moment I live in Italy. I have also learned to speak Italian and I am still listening to your videos. Thank you for passing on your passion for learning the English language. You are definitely the best language teacher I have ever seen. Thank you for your videos. I enjoy them very much. Keep up the good work. Thank you very much indeed.

با درود خدمت استاد گرامی و تدریس خوب شما بسیار سپاسگزارم

[@petyabratko8248]

Frankly speaking, I particularly like the way you teach us through such stories, especially from this website. I derive a tons of satisfaction from it, since it’s truly fascinating and I get to learn new and unique vocabulary every time here. A big thank you for your hard working. I look forward to watching all your upcoming ones!

[@akmalmukhtor8289]

Unique vocabulary? Is it logical to say?

[@francoiseburette8649]

Dear Luke,thanks a lot for your total investment through your work , the diversity of your podcasts,for what you are . I’m 82 I have been learning for years now

[@francoiseburette8649]

Dear Luke,Petra said all I want to tell you .I am 82 passionate with English that I l have been learnings for40 years.Unhappily I am not rewarded for the 50000 hours spent at learning I did all the possible methods but never mind my passion stays as vivid as ever. Thank you

[@LukesEnglishPodcast]

@@akmalmukhtor8289 what would you suggest instead?

[@akmalmukhtor8289]

@@LukesEnglishPodcast well I personally would say "unique words". The word "Unique" is used for something more specific but "vocabulary" is something more general. I'm not a native English speaker nor an English teacher, so I might be wrong!

[@user-fe9oq2yj5f]

I was so impressed because I have never met a wonderful teacher who thought English very clearly and easily in detail like you. Thank you for your class! Your video motivates me to study English hard. I have just determined to brush up my English again with you. I really truly appreciate it 💚　from Japan.

Thank Luke. I really like this kind of video. It helps me to understand more about vocabularies and contexts. Thanks so much.

[@graciecafetiffinandbites5153]

I am so lucky to find your channel, pls keep it continuously.

[@brontewcat]

Well read. I am a native English speaker, from Australia, looking for short stories while I do housework. It is an excellent way of learning English. I picked up whether it was British or American English it was pretty quickly. We generally use British terms, except when we have our own words, so I can pick up when there are different words to our English. It is a bit harder when it is zBritish English, because I sometimes don’t know when Americans have different words. However nothing in what I said should be read as one way or another as I am not saying how long it took me to work out. There was a particular word used that I only recently learnt with different words in British and American English.

Dear Luke, how wonderful you are, I love English language very much and your accent is SOO GOOD!!! I'm Italian and old 79 years and only lately I began to understand, the writing in the beginning and the sound...much much later, unable to duplicate sounds. I'm in London since two years and here has began my hard way to learn for real, only now I begin understand English better. Unfortunately I'm not a fast learning in languages and discovering your method is like a treasure, considering I understand only elementary web, you tube and emails!!!!!. You are very VERY good , what a gift you have, Luke, with you I understand almost everything BRAVO!!!!!!! Love you

Much appreciated episode 😍, I really liked it. This is one of my two favourite ways to absorb the language. In my humble opinion, reading and listening are the best strategy for learning a language.....if you can, then, rely on a voice like yours Luke with a clear and precise sound and accurate pronunciation, added to an expressive, interpreted and commented reading, your learning can only improve. Thanks a lot Teacher 🙏
