Thanks Luke for sharing my story. While writing it I didn't even think about the possibility that you may want to make it public. For me it was a bit of a therapy. Writing it helped me to get better from what I had suffered only 1 week ago. Also it was my genuine desire of just saying "thank you". These days some of my friends have listened to the episode and they were shocked when they realized how much I suffered. I think that when I told them (while having a beer) it didn't sound that bad... Maybe I didn't tell them the rougher parts. Thanks!!
Hello. I'm from Ukraine. We live in a safe region. We do not have hostilities, but missiles are aimed at the energy infrastructure. In recent weeks, there is often no light for four hours several times a day. Power engineers are offloading electricity consumption. Then there is no Internet either. I download your videos when there is light and watch them when it goes out Your videos are made in a very high-quality and understandable manner, although my level of English is not very high. It was my hobby in the past, and now, during the war, it came back to fill my brain with something good and interesting and to get out of this stress and unreality of events. Thank you very much for your work.
Luke, my name is Marianna Ho. I now live in Belgium with my family. Originally, I live in Hong Kong. My husband and I visited my son and his family in Belgium 3 years ago. Due to the pandemic we stayed here and finally get our residency. I started listening to your Podcast about 6 months ago. I realise the more I listen to your program the more I love it as it covered a wide range of knowledge which I find it very interesting. Most important is you invite guest speakers to talk in your Podcast like your father and they are very good and funny. Thanks again your program not only helps us to improve our English but open up our knowledge as well,
Hello Luke. I live in Canada. I recently found your TH-cam page and since then I listen to it everyday while going to work and coming back, even on my breaks. The amazing thing about your work is that It never gets boring , because of the way you narrate and the choice of stories. I enjoy each and every story. Thank you for the great great work. I’m so glad I found you. T❤
Oh, you live in Canada? I have always had the doubt of what kind of English is spoken there, I suppose it's similar to the american but maybe the use of French changes it, I don't know. I will travel to Canada for a cultural exchange next year, it is amusing to think that people in different countries listen to the same thing thanks to LIP.
Iam from Argentina, but i am living in Dublin for a few month. I like how you speak. Your pronunciation is lovely. I used to listen in the bus or when i walk or in my bed. Iam a ninja. Thank you for your videos.
Fascinating story! I agree that your voice is very calming and it somehow gives us positive, energetic state of mind! Thank you Luke, lots of blessings!
Apart from being a brilliant teacher, you are a kind human too, Teacher Luke. It’s amazing to see how you started touching lives and spreading positivity through your podcasts! This is the need of the hour, amidst all the social media drama and cyber-bullying. Keep it up!
Luke ! Look at yourself ! The ENGLISH Healing doctor! You got the gift ! You have such a smooth voice! And your English pronunciation great . I have taken my dose today! Thanks from México City
Hi Luke. Thanks from Ukraine. Listening for the stories on your podcast gives me a short moment of going from reality just to normal, carefree life. Your podcast really helps to keep mentally. Reality of our country since russian invasia is like a nightmare. We witnessed awful atrocites and are full of pain. You can't wake up, no matter how to try, the only option is to study how to live with it. Wishing you the peaceful sky over your head, keep on doing your job 🙌
Hi! I'm a ninjia😂....till now, actually. I'm an italian woman of 49 years, I listen to you while cleaning my house, just because I like english very much. I use to read english books (all of Ken Follett's), so I can understand 98%, but I realized I did't know the correct pronunciation ....so, I found you...thanks a lot
I am proud of breaking the news that, by only listening your podcasts for 90 minutes a day for 160 days I managed to pass the English speaking exam. Thank you for your great efforts to teach us Luke. Loves from Turkiye

Very Good evening luke i am one of your ninjas who always listen to your podcast silently. I am learning and improving my English through your podcast and always increase my vocabulary by watching your podcast.
Hello from Korea, Luke. Since I knew about your youtube, I tried to listened to it every morning as a routine while I'm riding a stationary bycicle which makes me feel calmer and out of stress as I was a bit lost what I could do for the future life. Then I found you!!! your voice and direct teaching of eng was so efficiently good to remember after the episode which I've never rely on listening to other podcast before. Somehow you cheer me up and keep me going forward. Thanks a lot, and I'm appreciated what you are doing to the world. Best regards Serin
Thanks from Algeria. I'm really improving my English since I started following you on TH-cam. I practice "shadowing" when listening to you on my way to work (driving) and while cooking. You're a great teacher, Luke, thank you so much!
Hi Luke, I have to admit this is the VERY first time I leave you a comment under one of your video. First of all I want to say thank you for your work and for what you do with this kind of video! In particular, thank you for the brief vocabulary recap at the end of this video, it was very useful. Also, I have to say I have really appreciated Inaki's story and I wish all the best to him! Thank you for sharing his story. You're great!
Hey Luke, since I started listening to your podcast I always wanted to write you to thank you for your job and say that you podcast is the first one I can hear the whole day or for a long time. Now this story was really interesting and fascinating story for me. Good bless Iñaki and good luck for English learning! I can imagine Iñakis story. You have such a relaxing voice. when I am excited or angry, one thing I can do is listen your podcast and calm down quickly. I can concentrate very quickly. I hope you can understand what I want to say, because my English level is just B1 und I am on the good way to learn and improve it with you. Thanks a lot and greetings from Munich
Yeah, I can relate. Not like I’ve had a bad trip in a hospital, but I also find listening to LEP comforting and somehow therapeutic because it reminds me of so many great days in the past.
Hi Luke! I was a little disturbed by the story, but I managed to go to the end, also because you said there would be a happy ending. The voice definetely has a healing power. I like the expression "once in a blue moon" Thank you for sharing this story. Ciao from Italy.
Hi Luke, It is to thank You for all Your work that helps me not to forget my English. Your podcasts are so interesting that I simply can' t stop listening to You 😊 even I almost don't use english any more.. Any time I am scrolling YT for something to listen to going through hundreds of other podcasts in my own language in some 80 % I come back to You thinking : " no, I must check LEP. He certainly has something new and more interesting" Also Your way of presenting it, sound of Your voice is absolutely the best among any native speakers (. clearness, descriptive skills and care for the your foreign listeners Making sure that they understand) Thank You for all Your time and all Your work to edit Your podcasts. Any time I listen to You I am sending You my thanks and good vibrations 🖐️💚
Hi Luke. I've been a Lep Ninja for a long time, but now I became a Lep. During this time at Lep Ninja I improved my English a lot. Congratulations for this Lep project. Best Regards. Marco from Brazil
What an unbelievable story, Wow! I am glad to have the opportunity of hearing it. Thank you luke for sharing it, you're amazing.❤️ Greetings from Argentina
Thanks Luke. I hope you are doing well!! I have been following you for a long time, and I love the way you speak, especially random speech. I am a 65 year old doctor, from Chile. Thanks to your interviews I met Christian Saunders and joined Canguro Academy. We missed you at the last retreat in Gran Canaria. I wish to meet you in person some time, probably in the next retreat! I wish you the best!!! Rosana Baytelman
Massive thanks, Luke, for sharing this amazing story of recovery. You do bring extremely positive vibes by your stories. I'm new to your account, I've only listened to 'The mountain' and ''The umbrella man' so far, but I'll definitely stick to your channel as I loved immensely everything I've heard. Not only the stories but your presentation of the vocab is incredible. So thanks again and looking forward to your new stories!
Hello dear teacher and best reader,i am trying to learn English my major is Persian literature and i feel so happy when listening to you and learn new grammar and correct pronunciation. Please keep going. Thanks 🙏
Nice nice. Your voice has such a magical power, I don't think Iniyaki lied or had made a story, Even your laugh also has a healing power 😊 Any how I'm wishing good health for Iniyaki always
Hi Luke, thanks a lot for posting this extraordinary email and warning us about danger of general anesthesia, about this terrible consequences of it. It was really a nightmare for Inyaki and your voice has a healing power. You saved the day! I am glad that Inyaki back to normal again. I love stories with a good ending. I have never had a similar experience, all my operations were under local anesthesia. Your podcast "Fall asleep in English" helps me to deal with insomnia.
I don’t know why while I had been depressing TH-cam just recommended this episode to me exactly in time❤I was thinking about what a huge number of lost in my life varying from money to opportunities I just let go for whatever reason,what a shame I have been living aimlessly without any specific success in any way,so many worries ,anxieties ,disappointments and angers filled my mind,which made me feel overwhelmed and desperate! How could I escape from all the stress and messes? I ask myself tons of questions repeatedly …..I had tried to convince myself that I had been overthinking,life always has a way out,which seemed even make things worse other than enabled me to get strengths to move on!I had nearly known I would figure out a way when I realized that keeping learning English would help me to attain my dreams which however had been pretty vague,at least it had been a bunch of light that shed in my life ,though I was not confident in my English.so I opened TH-cam,this episode showed up in the first place,the title of which intrigued me a lot ,to be frank.meanwhile the story turned to be such a coincidence that I was in low mood too!❤ It make me believe that there are some strange things or power that exist in some way always prepared to help you ❤❤❤ Today’s recommendation is a precious gift In return for my struggling learning English ❤❤❤ Thank both of you teacher Luke and the friend who shared his personal experience. I hope I would be more fluent in English like him,There is a long way to go for me!
Hi! While I was hearing the story I would not think that is about a general anaestethic. Though in December 2022 I survived it myself. It was my first time and it was a disaster. I got conscious after 12 hours. And, I want to say also, Luke, that your podcast is fantastic. I have recommended it to my English teaher and she liked it! Thank you!
Omg!! I did not know there are a lot of people have the same feelings as me! so I will write my story I was exhausted from IELTS and had some problems and stopped listening to your podcast for 2 weeks I come back 2 days ago and suddenly when I hear heard your voice I cried from happiness and laughed!! thank God my little sister was not there, so I found that your podcast means a lot to me it is not just for developing my English language.
Hi Luke! That's true! General anesthesia could cause very mental disorder, specially when it's start to going away! Some people have trouble with psicodélic effects!
Hello Luke. I am from Romania and I listen to you with much pleasure. I am a beginner in learning English and I was a LEP Ninja until now. :)) Thank you a lot.
Hello, Luke! Thank you so much for your podcast, for those brilliant topics you touch upon! I started watching you quite recently while getting ready for one of the English classes. I've been teaching English at Russian state schools for nearly 6 years. The problem is that we don't get paid well at state schools, and I'm suffering the impostor syndrome as I feel that I'm not a born teacher lacking talent, though I'm a 1st category teacher. Your podcast helps me to relax and feel I'm not alone anyway as a teacher. P.S. I've been to the UK in 2000, being only 16, that was a great experience. I studied at Lancs, Accrington.
The story really amazed me and also inspired me. Your voice, Luke, really has some kind of magical effect and I can’t live a day without your podcast) Thank you so much for your work!
Hi Luke, how is it going? I’d like to say before hearing this terrified story that happened to this friend,I widely believed that apart from those learning issues from your podcasts, your voice and intonation extremely are awesome and make me calm. Thanks a lot and appreciated. God bless you❤
Dear Luke This is also a survival story because my husband luckily survived 22 surgeries 10 years ago. I would have been fortunate to have your podcast back then, as I was also going through a difficult time. We are very thankful for what our medical system can provide, even if the doctors don't have much time to talk to you due to the extensive documentation they have to do. My husband spent a long time in the hospital, and because he had so many anesthetics, one of the anesthesiologists came to see him, telling him that he wanted to meet the man who had been on the operating table so many times. We learned that paranoid thoughts often occur after longer surgeries. Once, my husband cried in the recovery room, convinced he had to go to jail because he believed he had embezzled a large amount of money (which was not true, as we are not bankers but brave teachers). Another time, he was convinced he was in a Greek hospital, accusing me of bringing him to a place, where nobody was taking care of him. I don't want to offend anyone from Greece. Greece was probably on his mind because there were a lot of articles about Greece and the EU in the newspapers at the time. Luke, you have a great talent for presenting content in such a way that I look forward to a new (or old) episode every day. It's a brilliant mix of information, food for thought, humour and entertainment through exciting stories and conversations with interesting guests. A thousand thanks !!!
Wow I really like this podcast .. first it is interesting story second it is short so I won’t feel bored Bec when the sorry long I keep distracting and I can not focus and a lot of vocabulary I can not remember and finally really love that u explain the new vocabulary and test it us thanks a lot
Hya Luke, if you are interested, I could enlighten you with a bit of medical background. Sleep apnea occurs if the muscles in your throat are not able to keep your airway open during sleep, especially if you are lying on your back. So usually the surgical solution / therapy is to break the upper jaw and re-position it a bit further in the front. Usually only some millimeters. btw: The palate is exactly what you think it is. It's the top part of your upper jaw. For this operation is in a very sensitive area of your body (i.e. the head), it has to be done in general anesthesia. Listening to Inakis story one might suspect, that he had the induction of his "artificial coma" with a drug called Ketamine. This is a very powerful painkiller / narcotic with the side effect of nightmares, paranoia or hallucinations especially when the effect subsides and the patient comes round. Therefore the anaesthesist usually combines Ketamine with a sedative such as Midazolam or any other benzodiazepine. Maybe... just maybe... Inaki got not enough sedative during his operation to avoid these effects. Just speculating here but to me it seems a very likely explanation. Being a paramedic and nurse I witnessed this "complication" several times when there was not enough sedative.
Great story. Real human stories are really touching. It has been a pleasure listening to you. Thanks to Iñaki too for sharing it. Nowadays only few people dare to talk about bad moments in their life.
Hay Luke, i am your new subscriber from Indonesia. Happy to find your channel, your podcast help me to improve my English. Everyday i enjoy your podcast, give me more energy and more confidence.
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the amazing work you do on your TH-cam channel. Your teaching style is engaging, informative, and truly inspiring. I have learned so much from your lessons, and I feel much more confident in my English abilities as a result. Keep it up the good work 🌹
Hi Luke, i am one of Ninjas, but i like your lessons very much and it helps a lot. So here is my first contact to you. And my big thanks to you for what you doing
Hi Luke, Thank You for the great work You have been doing. I ve been looking for a long time for sthg to refresh my English but all I could find was either too fast spoken english or children or old fashioned stories. And as everybody says in the comments each of your podcasts is so interesting so different and on so many contemporary topics even dialiogs with your family and friends. I especially appreciate the trancripts which help me to "catch" new or missing words. Thank you again Luke
Hello Luke! This is my 1st comment at your channel Luke! Iñaki's story is interesting and also I am so sorry for iñaki's bad experience. But he managed to recover from Luke's voice. so happy to hear that. I wanna give big hand for them(Iñaki' and our teacher Luke) and I really appreciate your high quality english content Luke Teacher!!
Thank you very much for your amazing stories !!! I started following you three month ago. Your podcasts entertain me and at the same time teach me life lessons and ,of course they are the best tools to improve my English!!!
Thank you alot for this rich content include all of grammar and beautiful vocabulary are associated with compelling story..i feel lik you mad my learning English day ...abouth your face mimics with difficult word which is caused remember them ...thanks
Wow, what a nice story, I guess inaki’s recovery comes from Luck’s therapeutic voice. For me, listening to Luke’s channel is calming and relaxing. Extra bonus besides learning English.
Hey Luke, The nightmare described in the story looks like a the side effect of anesthesia. Some medication can provoke hallucinations , lasting day or two afterwards. It usually happens when cheep or old-generation drugs are using during prolonged surgeries. The guy just got unfortunate to experience that. It's amazing that your voice and nice manner to talk comforted the patient and diminished the hurmful action of the drug. Thanks for sharing this compelling story.
Luke, nice to see you, very nice to hear you, and much more It's nice to enjoy your narrator's hilarious style. If this was the less. I am learning actual English. Thank you so much.
OMG!! This was my first time i understood the whole video because before for me was imposible when i was watching your videos, I couldn't understand anyting but today i'm very proud of me and very greatfull with you for your podcast and for you time!!!❤❤❤
hi, thanks! Great story! All this is very explainable (this would be the best option for now, if you think about it, to explain it... if you will). The spirit-body separates from our physical body every night when we go to sleep (we are the soul that vitalizes both bodies). So we have a rhythm and habits when we do that every night or every sleep. That is to say, the body-spirit will have its tricks to escape from feeling things, etc.* But in a situation of forced sleep (with drugs, etc.) it is no longer the same as always. And it is known that, when patterns change, we have to face "new" things/emotions. Iñaqui will have been remembering things in his conscious memory ( later, already being in the physical body )... things of the type that we call "vivid dreams", and things that we normally do not (want to) remember when we wake up. That time he would have been remembering them more vividly because of the change of patterns and the forcing that the drugs do, etc. We, in the soul, as a soul... we... usually transform the "real things experienced at night" (when "we are" in the spirit body, or we are as a spirit body) into dreams with varying degrees of memory of what we really did in the spirit-body. In general we usually want to avoid feeling the true state of our soul, both in the dream state as in the waking state. So, we live lifes of avoiding, immersed in a kind of a facade. These dreams of transformation, these "messenger dreams", sometimes "communicate" emotions to us so that we can feel them or feel them again, and thus be able to progress in our emotional (soul) state. ___ * And btw, there always would be people in the spiritual world (people in various degrees of evolution / in various ways of soul evolution...)... people that usually are helping us for better and for worse (that people are there when we are in the dream state as also they are there "helping" us in the waking state.) The "light tunnels" would have to do with that kind of disincarnates/spirits, groups of spirits, "spiritual ways", etc.
What a bizarre story! He almost has that sense of humour of yours too. By the way, I came from the Podcast version of this episode just to leave a comment🤪
I enjoyed the story so much. Thank you Luke! At the end I felt happy saying the right words in your test bevor you gave the answers, despite you spoke so quickly.... perhaps you wanted this episode takes under 40 minutes??? I ask me if Iñaki's story is really truth .... If it is, I wish him a very good recover! God bless your work, your episodes sind so helpful to learn English. I hope I can soon make the great step and begin to speak English, my pronunciation is not okay... I discovered your LEP at the beginning of this year... Salut from a very cold Berlin, this night under 0°
Hello Luke from Japan, I’m a quite a new listener and have been one of your Ninjas for about a month. I agree 100% that your podcasts give us hope and enjoyment that can change some horrible time to happy one😊 Looking forward to catching up so many programs so far, and new ones🎉
Hi I recently subscribed to your channel. It was the first podcast that I listened to, I enjoyed it, and I'm going to listen to your podcasts. Thank you. Please record more podcast😊
Hi Luke! Here from Brasil. I begin to listen and see you this very day and I enjoyed a lot this episode and the surgery story. I particularly liked the Beatle's picture on your background wall. I would like to improve my English with you .I hope I can. Thank you. Bye.

Hi Luke! I was a little disturbed by the story, but I managed to go to the end, also because you said there would be a happy ending. The voice definetely has a healing power. I like the expression "once in a blue moon" Thank you for sharing this story. Ciao from Italy.
I am the one of LEP Ninjas from İstanbul/ Turkey. I realy enjoy your podcast and learn a lot of things about English. Thank you🎉🎉🎉❤
I'm so proud to be the part of the LEP!!! 🔥🥳
Hi Luke,
It is to thank You for all Your work that helps me not to forget my English. Your podcasts are so interesting that I simply can' t stop listening to You 😊 even I almost don't use english any more.. Any time I am scrolling YT for something to listen to going through hundreds of other podcasts in my own language in some 80 % I come back to You thinking : " no, I must check LEP. He certainly has something new and more interesting" Also Your way of presenting it, sound of Your voice is absolutely the best among any native speakers (. clearness, descriptive skills and care for the your foreign listeners Making sure that they understand) Thank You for all Your time and all Your work to edit Your podcasts.
Any time I listen to You I am sending You my thanks and good vibrations 🖐️💚

"Ninja" Silvia (75 years old) from Brazil. Hi, Luke. I enjoy your podcast very much. Thanks a lot !😁
Massive thanks, Luke, for sharing this amazing story of recovery. You do bring extremely positive vibes by your stories. I'm new to your account, I've only listened to 'The mountain' and ''The umbrella man' so far, but I'll definitely stick to your channel as I loved immensely everything I've heard. Not only the stories but your presentation of the vocab is incredible. So thanks again and looking forward to your new stories!
Hello dear teacher and best reader,i am trying to learn English my major is Persian literature and i feel so happy when listening to you and learn new grammar and correct pronunciation.
Please keep going.
Thanks 🙏
It is a very good story, it helps to me a lot of medicine vocabulary, and I feel happy that I don’t have that kind of problem . Estela from Argentina
Nice nice.
Your voice has such a magical power, I don't think Iniyaki lied or had made a story,
Even your laugh also has a healing power 😊
Any how I'm wishing good health for Iniyaki always
I m one of the lep ninjas.I work as a 3d modeler.I listen to ur podcast while working.And I m from Bangladesh
Hi Luke, thanks a lot for posting this extraordinary email and warning us about danger of general anesthesia, about this terrible consequences of it. It was really a nightmare for Inyaki and your voice has a healing power. You saved the day! I am glad that Inyaki back to normal again. I love stories with a good ending. I have never had a similar experience, all my operations were under local anesthesia. Your podcast "Fall asleep in English" helps me to deal with insomnia.
I don’t know why while I had been depressing TH-cam just recommended this episode to me exactly in time❤I was thinking about what a huge number of lost in my life varying from money to opportunities I just let go for whatever reason,what a shame I have been living aimlessly without any specific success in any way,so many worries ,anxieties ,disappointments and angers filled my mind,which made me feel overwhelmed and desperate! How could I escape from all the stress and messes? I ask myself tons of questions repeatedly …..I had tried to convince myself that I had been overthinking,life always has a way out,which seemed even make things worse other than enabled me to get strengths to move on!I had nearly known I would figure out a way when I realized that keeping learning English would help me to attain my dreams which however had been pretty vague,at least it had been a bunch of light that shed in my life ,though I was not confident in my English.so I opened TH-cam,this episode showed up in the first place,the title of which intrigued me a lot ,to be frank.meanwhile the story turned to be such a coincidence that I was in low mood too!❤
It make me believe that there are some strange things or power that exist in some way always prepared to help you ❤❤❤
Today’s recommendation is a precious gift In return for my struggling learning English ❤❤❤
Thank both of you teacher Luke and the friend who shared his personal experience.
I hope I would be more fluent in English like him,There is a long way to go for me!
Hi Luke I am not LEP Ninjas so I'm know leaving this comment I want to Thank you for your time and efforts to help us to improve our language
Hi! While I was hearing the story I would not think that is about a general anaestethic. Though in December 2022 I survived it myself. It was my first time and it was a disaster. I got conscious after 12 hours.
And, I want to say also, Luke, that your podcast is fantastic. I have recommended it to my English teaher and she liked it! Thank you!
Omg!! I did not know there are a lot of people have the same feelings as me! so I will write my story I was exhausted from IELTS and had some problems and stopped listening to your podcast for 2 weeks I come back 2 days ago and suddenly when I hear heard your voice I cried from happiness and laughed!! thank God my little sister was not there, so I found that your podcast means a lot to me it is not just for developing my English language.
hello, did you study Ielts?
Hi Luke! That's true! General anesthesia could cause very mental disorder, specially when it's start to going away! Some people have trouble with psicodélic effects!
Hello Luke. I am from Romania and I listen to you with much pleasure. I am a beginner in learning English and I was a LEP Ninja until now. :)) Thank you a lot.
Hello, Luke! Thank you so much for your podcast, for those brilliant topics you touch upon! I started watching you quite recently while getting ready for one of the English classes. I've been teaching English at Russian state schools for nearly 6 years. The problem is that we don't get paid well at state schools, and I'm suffering the impostor syndrome as I feel that I'm not a born teacher lacking talent, though I'm a 1st category teacher. Your podcast helps me to relax and feel I'm not alone anyway as a teacher.
P.S. I've been to the UK in 2000, being only 16, that was a great experience. I studied at Lancs, Accrington.
The story really amazed me and also inspired me. Your voice, Luke, really has some kind of magical effect and I can’t live a day without your podcast) Thank you so much for your work!
The best teacher I have ever seen❤
Hi Luke, I'm a new follower of your Podcast, I'm english student from Valencia -Spain
Hi Luke, how is it going?
I’d like to say before hearing this terrified story that happened to this friend,I widely believed that apart from those learning issues from your podcasts, your voice and intonation extremely are awesome and make me calm. Thanks a lot and appreciated. God bless you❤
Dear Luke
This is also a survival story because my husband luckily survived 22 surgeries 10 years ago. I would have been fortunate to have your podcast back then, as I was also going through a difficult time. We are very thankful for what our medical system can provide, even if the doctors don't have much time to talk to you due to the extensive documentation they have to do. My husband spent a long time in the hospital, and because he had so many anesthetics, one of the anesthesiologists came to see him, telling him that he wanted to meet the man who had been on the operating table so many times. We learned that paranoid thoughts often occur after longer surgeries. Once, my husband cried in the recovery room, convinced he had to go to jail because he believed he had embezzled a large amount of money (which was not true, as we are not bankers but brave teachers). Another time, he was convinced he was in a Greek hospital, accusing me of bringing him to a place, where nobody was taking care of him. I don't want to offend anyone from Greece. Greece was probably on his mind because there were a lot of articles about Greece and the EU in the newspapers at the time.
Luke, you have a great talent for presenting content in such a way that I look forward to a new (or old) episode every day. It's a brilliant mix of information, food for thought, humour and entertainment through exciting stories and conversations with interesting guests. A thousand thanks !!!
Fascinating comment. Thank you!
It's disturbing but it has a happy ending. I agree with him that your voice is really soothing.
Bravo bravo bravo, Iñaki, your wife, Luke
Thanks very much Viviana!!
Hello Luke has a refugee in Luton I'm listening to your lessons every day I appreciate thanks
Wow I really like this podcast .. first it is interesting story second it is short so I won’t feel bored Bec when the sorry long I keep distracting and I can not focus and a lot of vocabulary I can not remember and finally really love that u explain the new vocabulary and test it us thanks a lot
I love listening your stories! Your enthusiasm really gets our attention and we can learn all the time. Thanks a lot 😊
Hya Luke,
if you are interested, I could enlighten you with a bit of medical background.
Sleep apnea occurs if the muscles in your throat are not able to keep your airway open during sleep, especially if you are lying on your back.
So usually the surgical solution / therapy is to break the upper jaw and re-position it a bit further in the front. Usually only some millimeters.
btw: The palate is exactly what you think it is. It's the top part of your upper jaw.
For this operation is in a very sensitive area of your body (i.e. the head), it has to be done in general anesthesia.
Listening to Inakis story one might suspect, that he had the induction of his "artificial coma" with a drug called Ketamine. This is a very powerful painkiller / narcotic with the side effect of nightmares, paranoia or hallucinations especially when the effect subsides and the patient comes round. Therefore the anaesthesist usually combines Ketamine with a sedative such as Midazolam or any other benzodiazepine. Maybe... just maybe... Inaki got not enough sedative during his operation to avoid these effects.
Just speculating here but to me it seems a very likely explanation.
Being a paramedic and nurse I witnessed this "complication" several times when there was not enough sedative.
Lovely story, and you are Super with your voice and your amazing way of teaching. I'm from Italy.
Thanks for all these you share with us,you are really valuable either as a teacher or as companionship in difficult moments!❤❤❤❤❤
Great story. Real human stories are really touching. It has been a pleasure listening to you. Thanks to Iñaki too for sharing it. Nowadays only few people dare to talk about bad moments in their life.
Hay Luke, i am your new subscriber from Indonesia. Happy to find your channel, your podcast help me to improve my English. Everyday i enjoy your podcast, give me more energy and more confidence.
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the amazing work you do on your TH-cam channel. Your teaching style is engaging, informative, and truly inspiring. I have learned so much from your lessons, and I feel much more confident in my English abilities as a result. Keep it up the good work 🌹
Hi Luke, i am one of Ninjas, but i like your lessons very much and it helps a lot. So here is my first contact to you. And my big thanks to you for what you doing
Hi Luke,
Thank You for the great work You have been doing.
I ve been looking for a long time for sthg to refresh my English but all I could find was either too fast spoken english or children or old fashioned stories.
And as everybody says in the comments each of your podcasts is so interesting so different and on so many contemporary topics even dialiogs with your family and friends.
I especially appreciate the trancripts which help me to "catch" new or missing words.
Thank you again Luke
once upon time, I woke up afraid on a voice came out from the window, a few seconds later I realize that my phone was left running on your podcast :)
My name is Ángel, from Argentina (Rosario) the city which Messi was born. I listen to you every day
Hello Luke! This is my 1st comment at your channel Luke!
Iñaki's story is interesting and also I am so sorry for iñaki's bad experience.
But he managed to recover from Luke's voice. so happy to hear that.
I wanna give big hand for them(Iñaki' and our teacher Luke) and I really appreciate your high quality english content Luke Teacher!!
Thank you very much for your amazing stories !!! I started following you three month ago. Your podcasts entertain me and at the same time teach me life lessons and ,of course they are the best tools to improve my English!!!
Thank you alot for this rich content include all of grammar and beautiful vocabulary are associated with compelling story..i feel lik you mad my learning English day ...abouth your face mimics with difficult word which is caused remember them ...thanks
Wow, what a nice story, I guess inaki’s recovery comes from Luck’s therapeutic voice. For me, listening to Luke’s channel is calming and relaxing. Extra bonus besides learning English.
Undoubtedly, Luke's voice IS soothing.
I really agree with you. You cure our souls
You are really amazing and support teacher
. I always connecting your lessons.
Thanks
Hey Luke,
The nightmare described in the story looks like a the side effect of anesthesia. Some medication can provoke hallucinations , lasting day or two afterwards. It usually happens when cheep or old-generation drugs are using during prolonged surgeries. The guy just got unfortunate to experience that. It's amazing that your voice and nice manner to talk comforted the patient and diminished the hurmful action of the drug. Thanks for sharing this compelling story.
Great job! Amazing explanations! Thank you
I'm also a LEP Ninja.
Thank you Luck, I love all your stories and learn a lot .
I’m always happy to hear your voice! It was an amazing story, I have learned a lot of new words. Thanks a lot
"I am always happy to tell the world any story in which I emerge as the hero!" Nice touch...
🙂 🙃 😇
Luke, nice to see you, very nice to hear you, and much more It's nice to enjoy your narrator's hilarious style. If this was the less. I am learning actual English. Thank you so much.
OMG!! This was my first time i understood the whole video because before for me was imposible when i was watching your videos, I couldn't understand anyting but today i'm very proud of me and very greatfull with you for your podcast and for you time!!!❤❤❤
hi, thanks! Great story!
All this is very explainable
(this would be the best option for now, if you think about it, to explain it... if you will).
The spirit-body separates from our physical body every night when we go to sleep (we are the soul that vitalizes both bodies).
So we have a rhythm and habits when we do that every night or every sleep.
That is to say, the body-spirit will have its tricks to escape from feeling things, etc.*
But in a situation of forced sleep (with drugs, etc.) it is no longer the same as always.
And it is known that, when patterns change, we have to face "new" things/emotions.
Iñaqui will have been remembering things in his conscious memory ( later, already being in the physical body )... things of the type that we call "vivid dreams", and things that we normally do not (want to) remember when we wake up.
That time he would have been remembering them more vividly because of the change of patterns and the forcing that the drugs do, etc.
We, in the soul, as a soul... we... usually transform the "real things experienced at night" (when "we are" in the spirit body, or we are as a spirit body) into dreams with varying degrees of memory of what we really did in the spirit-body.
In general we usually want to avoid feeling the true state of our soul, both in the dream state as in the waking state. So, we live lifes of avoiding, immersed in a kind of a facade.
These dreams of transformation, these "messenger dreams", sometimes "communicate" emotions to us so that we can feel them or feel them again, and thus be able to progress in our emotional (soul) state.
___
*
And btw, there always would be people in the spiritual world (people in various degrees of evolution / in various ways of soul evolution...)...
people that usually are helping us for better and for worse
(that people are there when we are in the dream state as also they are there "helping" us in the waking state.)
The "light tunnels" would have to do with that kind of disincarnates/spirits, groups of spirits, "spiritual ways", etc.
Vielen Dank Luke. Es ist sehr unterhaltsam😊 auf diese Weise english zu lernen.
Hey, luke! I appreciate your podcasts. They help me alot with my pronunciation. Keep up the good work. ❤❤
☺Thank you Luke! This way to improve my English is really funny. I like very much your videos and the way like you reed.
It was an agreeable story. Thanks teacher Luke for sharing Iñaki's email.
You are amazing. Thank you for being you :)
Normally I listen to your podcast before going to bed. Your podcasts are very interesting and joyful.
What a bizarre story! He almost has that sense of humour of yours too. By the way, I came from the Podcast version of this episode just to leave a comment🤪
I am not good at English.But i love to hear your podcast its a good for all of listener.
I enjoyed the story so much. Thank you Luke! At the end I felt happy saying the right words in your test bevor you gave the answers, despite you spoke so quickly.... perhaps you wanted this episode takes under 40 minutes???
I ask me if Iñaki's story is really truth .... If it is, I wish him a very good recover!
God bless your work, your episodes sind so helpful to learn English. I hope I can soon make the great step and begin to speak English, my pronunciation is not okay...
I discovered your LEP at the beginning of this year...
