The story begins properly at 10:00 if you want to skip my introduction. You get a bonus point for every time I say "Boggins" instead of "Boggis" 😅

I love how you pronounce. Everything is crystal clear. I wish all English speakers spoke as clearly as you!

@englishwithkaylapatino Год назад

Yes, it can be difficult to understand speakers that are speaking quickly and running their words together. Although, the more you listen to native speakers, the easier it becomes.

Hi Luke, I am a mother from Taiwan. My children did love Roald Dahl stories. I didn’t expected that I watched the whole video at one time after my breakfast when I just came to the channel at the first time! The story is extremely out of my imagination and your talking skill is attractive and easily understandable. I will watch other videos for more interesting topics and stories. It is exactly the way I want to be more familiar with English. Thank you for your works!

Luke's a nice teacher. I do enjoy his podcasts and the way he passes the information and explains the new vocabulary, it's incredible. I listen to him almost every day . I advise people to rewrite the story or the subject of any of his podcasts to persuade a better level in the language like I did. ❤❤

Hello Luke, thank you so much for making these videos with short stories, you are absolutely BRILLIANT, a great actor and imitator! I have seen and listened to your Mountain and this RD eposode only, but I can´t wait to hear the rest that is here for me... This time I tremendously enjoyed Parson´s Pleasure, as Roald Dahl is in my view the best English short story writer (not speaking of his autobiography The Boy and Flying Solo!). To my big excitement you even inspired me to watch the Tales of the Unexpected - I didn´t know anything like that existed!!! I watch your videos instead of watching TV, it´s such delight and fun. Please continue. Lots of admiration for this not so easy job and love from Prague!👋👍

@TheSastrikal Год назад

Loved your way to tell the story.... Read it one go, then explain the vocabulary, then narrate your version of the story... It's like preparing for an exam...

Many thanks, Luke, for sharing the story "Parson's Pleasure." I have watched it twice and thoroughly enjoyed the show. It is truly an amazing story, and the way you presented it helped us understand its deeper meaning. The story imparts valuable lessons about honesty, fairness, and kindness. It reminds us that greed and selfishness can often lead to unexpected and undesired outcomes, as depicted by the antique furniture dealer in this story and in real life in general.

@sharautkatja Год назад

@@LukesEnglishPodcast More, more, more stories, please. I am from Ukraine and now I am in another country, and I feel very uneasy and uncomfortable with my English. Your stories are very good, and your teaching skills are amazing. I have an English teacher, but I could not even compare them to you because you are far above them. I prefer video because I am a very bad listener, my mind often wanders, and when I see words, I can gather my attention again. I am a visual person. Let me explain. When I am listening to something, my mind sticks to one word, for example, you say "George's house," and I have a friend named George, and I start thinking about him, and oops! I am out of the plot. It never happens when I am watching video,. I need something to look at, and I really appreciate your acting skills.
