This is brilliant episode Luke! I'm sure that people who watched it and want to learn English they're now convinced to join LEP Premium 😁 I'm a premium lepster for about two years now and believe me it works! I'm Polish and I'm living in England and running my own business as a wedding photographer. After two years of listening to the podcast I can truly tell you that Luke's podcast helped me a lot in my life here! 😁 I do apologise for any mistakes in my writing but it's not my cup of tea, I'm definitely here for speaking.

I'm a blind languages student teacher. So I'm not distracted at all, by the text. I'm thinking that maybe it'll be very uplifting for my English, to sign up for your podcast.

Kind regards from Quilmes Buenos Aires.

Thank you Luke so much for this episode. I've listened your podcast for about 3 years but I'm a premium lepster for more than a year, and I do not intend to cancel my membership in the near feature. I have listened to the episodes and trained my ears so far but this school year, there is a new challenge for me. I am an english teacher and I have changed my school this school year (from primary to secondary) and I really have to improve my skills, especially speaking. So I do hope you will help me. I love shadowing, so the more the better.

An excellent project, Luke! Reminds me a bit of the old Mary Underwood very special method - teaching English through stories (her course "What a story!"). And it's just what we, poor English teachers around the world, really need today - a good positive story just to keep up a good word. Thank you for reviving this method again, and best regards from Russia! ))

Hey there! First of all, thanks for this amazing episode, it was fascinating!!! I did all my homework right after the video. I've been listening to your podcasts for a while; (not a long-term listener, though.) however, it was my first "premium" experience and it was very fruitful. (especially writing one of our own experiences based on a story was a great opportunity for getting out of a comfort zone :) "Has Boris Johnson resigned?" and "Camp Stabbiwaka" episodes rock! ☺Anyway, I'm sure I'll become a long-term listener soon... See you!
