Although I'm 60 and retired , I'm studying to become an English teacher. I must congratulate you for being such a good teaching model for us. Your performance is excellent! Thanks a lot.

Sir, your comment encouraged me to complete my way for improving my language, Although I'm still 33 years old, I was thinking that I'm so older to start a new life with more curiosity . But now I'm so excited for doing all my best. Thanks for u I wish you all the best and good health 😊

B.B.Wang Perhaps I am the oldest student you have ever taught. I am an Australian-Chinese 90 years old. I have kept learning English to enrich/ improve the living quality of my” late” years. Your teaching course helps very much. I especially appreciate the way you teach. I can follow you almost the whole process. And the UK pronunciation. Thank you!. (Please have tolerance for my poor grammar.)

I also wrote a short story or joke: One late night in December 2022. In China, Shanghai. A young man shouted at the empty street: "Because of you alone, the world will not be peaceful!" Two policemen ran out and subdued him, asking: 'Who are you talking about?' The young man immediately replied: “Zelensky.” The police released him. The young man stand up and took a few steps to leave, thinking that something was wrong, turned back and asked the police: 'Who do you think I'm talking about?' The two police officers looked at each other awkwardly.

@LukesEnglishPodcast 2 года назад

Hi everyone! Thanks for the comments. I’ll be doing more stories on the podcast in the future. 📖📚📙 The story was written by @Aknier on Commaful.com commaful.com/play/aknier/the-mountain/ P.s. if you think the character is a man, you weren’t paying attention! I’m pretty sure it’s a female character. She mentions wearing a skirt (of course men can wear them, but usually it’s women), getting catcalled (almost always women), I think someone mentions her partner as “dad” so the chances are that the character is female, and her nickname “montanita” is Spanish for “little mountain”, and is a feminine word. There are also other possibilities of course 🌈 and anyway - it doesn’t really matter. I think anyone can relate to the character in the story.

@solangeamato2949 2 года назад

Dear Luke, You have a very nice and calming voice. The pace is also excellent. Not too fast and not too slow. Could you please think about doing more stories to help people sleep in these pandemic times? It could help people to calm down, learn English and sleep! I got addicted to doing this. Next day, I usually listen again to the stories and finish them because I slept in the midle of an audio. There are many sites with stories about mistery and crime. These are not good to sleep, but I listen to whatever I can. Romantic and comic stories would be much better. Please think about it! Many thanks.

@sssfff 2 года назад

Hi Luke, after you read the story, you said it could be a woman or a man. It is clear that the narrator is a woman, as she gave her skirt to her little sister, and got catcalls when she's a young woman. Love the Liam Neeson's "Taken" references too. Thank you for the story -- I think we all know someone like this narrator, or is one. It's especially touching when at the end you realize that she is talking to her dead husband, and maybe even trying to tell him that he doesn't have to worry about her and her children, as she has changed and will protect them now that he's gone.

I learned so many new words by listening to you in this episode, thank you for making time to teach the vocabulary in the second half. The story is really emotional. I'm impressed with the narrator's personality especially when she was still so young, she always tried to put others first before herself and had the desire to be a cooperative girl. There were problems that she had to face but bothering others was never in her head.
