I work at Sainsbury’s and have four night shifts a week. And I realized today that I listened to Luke’s podcasts for 30 hours last week during my boring work. Each time I understand more and more. It’s an amazing discovery for me. I am proud of myself and thank you so much for your work. I have been learning English for a year and sometimes I lose motivation, but every time you inspire me. I am from Ukraine and we are having a very difficult time now. But you make me smile and always remind me to keep going. My big dream is to get a degree in the UK and when I graduate I will definitely mention your name))
I'm from Ukraine too, and this podcast really helps me learn better
I love your motivation, can we just keep practicing English Time to time? If yes let Me know 🙏
Your comment made me feel motivated. It is happy to see our English progress, right? As Luke said, just keep going. Our English couldn't be improved just because we give up. But I know you stay strong and keep practicing English. Wish peace in your country soon and you will achieve your goals in English and study abroad. Wish all English learners all the best 💜

I really need someone to practice speaking English and I am always happy to talk. How can I contact you?
Happy New Year , Luke !!!
Thanks a lot to motivate me to improve my learning !!
I am from Panama, I stared listening to Luke's Podcast because I was in a deep depression after I got used, manipulated and rejected by a man whom I thought was the love of my life. To be honest, Luke has made me feel less pain with those podcasts and I stared to take more seriously english. In the past, I found it very hard to understand british accent, but now it is easier. Now, my goal is to improve my grammar and I am working on it while I also improve my listesting. Thanks Luke, not just because you are teaching a lot, but because you have been part of my process of healing my heart, even if you don't know it. God bless you.
Wow, thats amazing. I am sure you are now a much stronger person than before. Thank you for opening up about your experience.
Every day, I go to bed with you podcasts, and I've never reached the end because falling asleep 😂
😂
I have the same experience 😂
I was thinking that I'm the only one who asleep while listening PODCAST 😛 but thank God I'm not alone XD 🤣
@@qodecamp5167 if you’re all asleep maybe I’ll try sleeping while recording one.

Hi Luke!! I' m Montse, a retired English teacher. I' m from San Leonardo, a little village in the province of Soria. Thank you so much for your inspiring and valuable work!!!
For a very long time, I used to learn English through reading. Then I got a smartphone and listened to a great variety of topics. I had the chance to meet an English lady wishing to learn my own language, so we are chatting on the phone half English, half French and we only correct our mistakes in the end not to hinder the flow. It gave me such confidence that now I'm learning Italian and German. It was a long journey but every path had its reward. I wish all the best to you, your loved ones and everybody out there🎉
I started listening to your podcasts end of July 2023 and it helped me to improve my IELTS listening score from 6.5 to 8.5!
Haha, so cute the little guy moving his head, being coordinative😂
hi LUKE! I’m Dorota and I’m from Warsow, Poland. I feel that I'm lucky bastard.
six monts ago I decided to improve my English and exercise a bit my lazy mind and I immidiately cross your podcast. five minutes later I fell in love with your art. I find what you do is art. You are very funny, witty, a bit absurd and you make my believe Im abble to lern english!
these six months with you in my headphones, a little grammar with doulingo and regular english conversations with my friend make me really better at it. And most importantly: I'm having fun!
Thank you for being you :)
I'm a Ninja looking for another Ninjas! 😂. It's amazing listening the Luke's podcast and improve our listening (Thank you very much Luke, please don't stop) but my resolution for this year is improve my speaking as well. Anybody has the same resolution? Maybe we can chat and have videocalls or something like that to keep improving our English. Please write me Ninjas ❤️
Fellow ninja here 🙋🏼♀️ I've been listening English a lot for a few months, understanding more and more, but have nobody to talk to 🙄 Would love to chat and practice speaking ☺
I'm not a Ninja, I like to comment😁 but I'd love to improve my speaking. It's my resolution for this coming year as well. Would be great to chat! By your name, I suppose you're Spanish. I also know intermediate Spanish😊
The best English learning podcasts 👍👍👍
LUKE! I’m Linda and I’m from Québec City ,Canada. I discovered you about two months ago. I am a retired teacher (elementary school) and I love the way you teach. Your prononciation is very clear. It’s dynamic, enthusiastic and You are very funny. I listen to you in the morning while I knit. Now, I still have to find someone to talk to. Could you move in Quebec city? I would like to be your student in real life! (HAHA!) I Hope to find someone like you to talk with.Thank you so much! HAPPY New Year!
If I move to Quebec, I'll let you know 😂

Hello every body...I am new listener from Indonesia glad to be here. Thanks a million
Saya juga dari Indonesia juga pak😊
I loved this idea of putting the text on the side, so we can read and listen at the same time
Thanks Luke I'm not a skeleton. This podcast has rejuvenated me. I now have a positive attitude in learning English. I'm listening from South Africa. Keep up the good work. I am really grateful.
It hasn't been right without having Luke's new English podcast recently. Welcome back to us learners
Hello Luke. I wish you all the best for 2024.One of my Cambly's teachers told me "May I give you an advice " I replied " Yes , you may..! Listening to LEP you should improve you English level because his teaching is amazing and the better you are at listening, the better you are at having a conversation. So I know I'm going to spend a very interesting year with Luke's English podcast! Thanks a bunch!
I’m from Spain. I’ve study English since 2019 at Official Language School in my town to get b2 English certificate. In this course, I have a great English teacher because his pedagogical methods encourage us to improve our different skills; however, he is very demanding too. He puts a lot of effort into grammar and pronunciation.
I recognise that it’s important to adopt positive mental attitudes, because studying English is a large journey, although it’s sometimes difficult. In spite of this, I’ve done some significant progress since I’ve started to study English, especially in my listening skills. When I started listening to podcast during the COVID Pandemic, it was difficult to understand the contents of episodes. Nowadays I can listen to them more easily than in the past.
I know that one of my biggest difficulties is my speaking, but I understand that I need to improve my grammar, and my reading and writing skills.
For this reason, I've to start new habits.
Firstly, I usually listen several podcast just like you. My proposal is to write feed-back once a week.
Secondly, to improve my speaking, my classmates and I are going to start an English meetup. I’ve also started to talk myself out loud.
On the other side, my English teacher has recommended us to listen BBC's 6 Minute English. And after listening, I want to repeat out loud too
Finally, to improve my reading skills I’m going to try to read English book 10 minutes a day.
I really enjoy when you telling us stories of your daily routine, for instance I loved the episode on another podcast called “Into the story” when you told your experience about your “mission in Paris”.
Thank you very much for your effort and work
Best wishes from Spain.
I'm 14 and I have been learning English about 5 months, your podcasts help me in my English development! Thank you for your incredible podcasts, they're so funny)
where are u from?
@@quangnamtv23 I'm from Russia
@@vasilisaim WOW
Dear Luke
I have been listening to you for almost 5 years, your podcasts have helped me to improve my British accent.
As an Iranian English learner having the right English accent wasn't an easy deal for me, however hard work pays eventually
I really appreciate your hard work ♥️😍🙏🏻
Yes! It’s absolutely an advantage that I can see you while you are telling the story, also the text on the side to follow is very helpful.
Luke,. I'm grateful for your videos and podcasts. Those are my company in my way work and during workout. I'm improving my English. Thanks ❤
사랑합니다 ❤❤❤
Bless you heaps
That would be great if you call me 😂 let's try Luke ❤
Thanks for funny talk l enjoy it a lot.
I'm listening while washing up.
Your accent is understandable and pleasure. Go ahead you are a great teacher.
I'd like to be as professional as you are❤
❤❤❤glad to see you, dear teacher !!!
Hey Anna, may I get your email id?
Hello!
Great and Kindful job, thanks, it was very useful for improving my English, I am from China.
I'm Spanish and this year my aim is to improve my English knowledge by listening one of your podcasts a day. I had a hip surgery 6 weeks ago and the doctor told me to walk for at least one hour a day and while I'm walking I'm also improving my listening skills. I study half an hour as well (at the present time I'm studying a book focused on expressions and another one related to direct translations).
I hope to make a breakthrough in my English and leave behind the plateau. I'm a ninja but I'll try to write more often😅 Thank you for your podcasts, Luke. I'm living an idylic relationship with your language again thanks to you😊
How funny ! Thanks for sharing your great sense of humour ! (English humour for sure ;-) !! An innovative idea to combine English learning with have fun ! Love it !
Hi Teacher Luke, I am not a skeleton, haha. You know, after listening to your podcast, it feels like my mind is a space and your words are moving, floating inside it. You are getting better and better at teaching English. You are a great son, husband, father, a great teacher, and a great human being. Thanks, and have a great year ahead! ✨️
Hi Luke, I've been listening to you since 2019 (through podcast), btw I really loved your old App. Yes😅, you did mention a couple of times that you had lived in Japan😄. I love your rambling episodes, particularly very long episodes! I also like small talk at the beginning of them and your lovely songs at the end of some of them. Thanks for your work! One of your ninja-LEPsters
Hello Luke, I'm not a skeleton, I'm from Spain and I usually see your videos while I'm cooking. I love them! You are the perfect teacher!
Thank you, Luke!👍👏🤩
Hi Luke! I'm Claudia and this is the first time I listen to one of your podcasts and I want to thank you for the time you dedicate to this. I'm Sicilian and thanks to podcasts like yours, online group lessons, and reading, I'm significantly improving my English. This morning, while searching on Spotify for something to listen to, I found your podcast and while listening to it, I discovered that it's also on TH-cam! So I went to TH-cam and subscribed. You are very clear in your presentation and I find your arguments and advice very interesting. From now on, you have a new listener!! Thanks Claudia :)
Finally! I'm pretty sure I speak for everyone who listens to your podcast when I say I couldn't wait for the first episode of the year to come out. Cheers!🫶🏽🇨🇺🇬🇧🇫🇷
The wait is over 😄
The first podcast I listened from begining to the end! It was such a long time, so it's great achievement for me. Thank you Luke, and happy new year!
Happy New year Luke. You are the best teacher ever.❤
Happy New Year, Luke! I wish you 1 million subscribers! Thank you for your work!
Thank you!
Luke, I love your podcast madly ! I wish your ( big) family all the Best in 2024! Thank you!
Hi Luke!, it's lovely to see you with your baby boy, I melted!. I'm grateful for having found you because without knowing you have helped me during my plateau path. My positive experience is that I joined to a conversation club and I could speak in front of other spite of my fears, so thank you because you definetely are part of this. Another achivement is that I could finish the whole episode and I'm not a skeleton!
Thank you so much Luke and have an amazing New Year 2024!!
I’m definitely not a skeleton Luke 😄I love your podcasts, they’re informative and entertaining too. It's a great idea providing transcripts, which can be extremely helpful for us. I appreciate your work and I am very grateful. 🤗Greetings from Hungary 🖐
Great teacher! Great father!
Than you so much 🎉
Hi Luke, I've been following you on you tube for about a year,.My name is Lula, I'm an English teacher from Rome, What I want to tell you is really, I think, very nice for you! You are a very good teacher, you know how to explain things in the best way, you linger because you try to explain things in the best way (I am like you), you can't synthesise because, I think, you believe there is always a better way to say things. I thank you especially because you put me in a good mood! You are nice, sensitive and funny at the same time and in the morning when I cycle to school in Rome I always listen to you because you put me in a good mood. I let myself be taken by everything you say
and if I'm nervous, I take it all in! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
If I organise a long weekend in Paris I would love to come and see you perform. How often do you go on stage? You do yoga for me, I concentrate, enjoy myself and let go of my anxieties...
Happy new year🎉🎉
Thank God to see and hear you again.
Hi Luke, happy new year for you and your family. I am Alessandra from Brazil. I am a ninja and didn’t become a skeleton after listening this podcast, which was amazing. On the contrary, it motivated me to write to you for the first time since I’ve started to listen to you in 2018 or 2019. After discovering you I listened to many of the old episodes, but, unfortunately, I haven’t listened all of them, yet. Nowadays, I am following you on the TH-cam, although, I usually just listen and not watch. This one was an exception.
I really enjoy hearing your stories even the rambling episodes, which seems to connect more you and your audience. I loved the episode about the birth of your son and many others, such as that about the new Beatles’ song. Your tips are great and this year I want to use, at least, some of them. I am trying to overcome the intermediate plateau and your efforts to learn French are a source of inspiration for me. Your pronunciation is great and I dare say that I can understand around 90% of what you say. I want to improve my write and pronunciation skills, so I need to practice more.
Now, I am going to apply for the Celta course in my country, because I want to become an English teacher here. Many of your episodes about learning process with different guests inspired me and also the episodes that explain this kind of stuff.
Anyway, thank you for this lovely podcast and for being a human being so cool. Sometimes, I felt as if you were a close and funny friend of mine. Once again, I wish you a great year full of health, peace, love and prosperity.
By the way, the top of your son’s head is beautiful. 😊
Hi Luke … I am in Thailand
I follow you for a while. I just try to listen to your speaking and I speak along with you. I actually follow some English teachers on UTube and you are the one of my favorite teachers.
I noticed that I sometimes understand what you speak (about 50%) but when you talk to your guess, it’s pretty much harder to understand.
If you advise me by revert, it would be most appreciated. 😊
Thank you so much and support you🎉
Thank you for your kindly sharing,really enjoy your talking.
Thank you so much. I like listening you and learning with you 😊
Hi Luke, Happy New Year - episodes with the transcript are the best. Thank you for doing that for us!!! Much appriciated your effort 🙏
Thanks Luke! Best Wishes for the new year!😊
Thank you so much Luke.
I have been following you for six months now.
Thanks once again.
Hey Luke, when you talked about the intermediate plateau and advised that always some skills are being develop, it reminds me the Chinese bamboo tree motivational story. Thanks a lot!!!
Exactly! That would be a good story for the podcast 👍
You are wonderful 💕💛
Greate job. You are amaizing. Happy New Year, Luke
I love you, Luke I have learned a lot from you. God bless you!

Happy New Year Luke, lots of thanks for all you doing for us as English learners 🧡
Hello ,Luke
Isabell from Korea.
First time in New Year so I would say Happy New Year!!
Last November I got to know your podcast video n so happy with the contents you dealt with.
I perfer British accent to the English accent that I used to learn in school days.
Long ago I've been in London for a while n had hard trouble listening to British accents but I noticed it was much attractive .
Anyway like me for a non native speaker of English ,learning other languages especially spoken with various accents is like copycat .
So I am trying to get used to your English pronunciation(RP) by listening to it whenever I have time.
Thank you again.
Luke, you are amazing. Your ramblings blow my mind.
MR. LUKE your PODCAST are great. Thanks!
Love your work, thank you a bunch.
Lukeeeeee, I am in love with you. I really enjoy listening to your podcasts and I am learning a lot. Thank you so much for your work and your personality. Sincerely, I get listening to your full episodes podcasts. Thank you thank you thank you. Hugs from a spanish woman.

What a nice podcast after those semi boring hours of studying, my motivation
I'm one of your episode lovers but especially this episode caught my heart😊 Your way of holding your smart baby reminded me of my old time. I worked hard with my baby. I can admit my effort now. Thank you for providing the natural way of a human being.
Excellent teacher with excellent method

U are so good on that Luke. Thank you 🙏🙏
Hello Luke :) Thank You for Your podcast! I wish You all the Best ✨
Keep up the good work teacher 🎉🎉🎉🎉 i was looking forward to this episode
Hello Luke!
I'm Tani. First of all, I'm not a skeleton at all.
I wholeheartedly appreciate you for this podcast. It's an incredible combination of utility and fun. And your sense of humor is a tresure.
My listening skills weren't good at all when I'd started listening to your podcast. Mostly because I didn't like other shows for learners of Englis and shows for native speakers were too complicated for me. And after listening to hundreds of episodes I've finally moved to the next level. By the way, this improvement happened without any pain but with joy and pleasure.
My next target is to build up my writing skills. So be ready for my comments after your videos on TH-cam.
Thanks a lot, and best wishes to you and your family in 2024!
Although talking to myself looks weird, I have to say it’s a good way to build up my confidence to use English. Thank you Luke!
thank you so much for this great episode
Thanks for your suggestions🙏Definitely my priority for 2024 and for the rest of my life🤞is to improve my mediocre😅 speaking. I'll try to find the courage and the time to take part in one to one online conversations. I've recently come across a promising and free site, so hands on...
You are amazing person! Thank you so much for the episodes. I usually understand your lessons, Luke. It’s great
Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you, dear Luke.
Best dad ever!😊
Thank you for your podcast ❤❤❤❤
apreciated
Hi Luke, I'm pleased to listen to you, I've been following you since 2022 and around an amount of 70 episodes. Sorry to say I'm not only listen to your podcast but I try different types of ressources materials . I like your podcast and in general I listen to your podcast during my walk sessions. Hopefully for me I understand you quite easily and I couldn't go to the Zenith last week-end to see you on stage but I'll catch you later maybe. Thanks for all of that and I'm going to continue to listen to you in 2024 (because I'm not a skeleton ), speak as much as I can and put everything in english in my life.
