[@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 🙏

[@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.

[@Patriciahbp]

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!!

Hi Luke, I've discovered your podcast in the mid of 2023 and since that time I listened with pleasure all released episodes including the Pxxx ones. The way you are teaching English is very pleasant and varied and never bring. I would like to Thank you for the excellent job you're doing for us.

[@НадеждаЯрошинская]

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.

[@florhumaragarcia4776]
