Can I just take a minute to praise Zdenek’s English? He’s so fluent and all these idioms and rare vocab items pop up so naturally and so fast, this is awesome, honestly. I am also fluent, confident, etc, but man, this level of control, fluidity, agility and pace is amazing. I think there is a potential for yet another episode with Zdenek on how to master your English beyond C2, how to achieve native-like English not as a learner, but as someone who sort of adopted it all as a lifestyle rather than just a language. You could call it something like “Beyond Fluency” or whatever)
My compliments for this amazing episode Mr.Thomson🕷️ i hope you’ll invite this guy more often Together you create a really good vibe and a very high-quality symbiosis👍👍👍
❤ thank you as usual for your podcast. Zdenek is a very pleasant guest. His english is impressive. He masters so many idioms in a natural way. Long live las cucarachas
Yes! "To be bitten by the _____ bug" - that's one we didn't include. 10 points to you Helene. Some examples youglish.com/pronounce/bitten%20by%20the/english?
Wow, Zdenek and Luke, my two BEST teachers! Buzzing through this video, I was totally caught in its web! It's the bee's knees! Keep fluttering to greater heights, and don't let any negative bugs bite in the comments. This talk about bed bugs in Paris is really interesting. I liked the funny bits, especially the "naked eye" joke. It's good to know we shouldn't always believe everything we hear right away. Luke's own stories made it feel more real and fun. They did a good job mixing facts with some laughs. Great chat!
I'm proud of your guest as he is from the Czech Republic as I am. His English is very understandable for me. Where have you come across him 😉. Good luck both of you. Eva
Hi from Danang City! It's a big surprise knowing your guest in this episode has lived in Danang for such a long time. I'm a local here and will leave Danang for 🇬🇧 for my Tesol course in the next 2 months :) Nice to hear your sharing
Sorry for your situation when u was in Vietnam, i am a local person and live in a countryside that far Nha Trang city with a beautiful beach, hope to see u again
Speaking of mosquitos in Vietnam, I completely agree with Zdenek that they are so unbelievably cunning that I hardly kill them by hand. Therefore, electric mosquito traps are prevalent in Vietnam and favoured by many people. Btw, thanks Luke and Zdenek for another amazing podcast!
Great video, Luke! I listened to it on Spotify, but I prefer to leave my comments here because it's more permanent. Zdenek knows how to tell a compelling story, and he has an interesting life. You should interview more people like him. Just one more thing: Cockroaches can fly, but some do so slowly, while others, which my daughter refers to as 'demons', fly rapidly and make a lot of noise when they're in flight.
I've got shivers. When I returned from Cambodia four months ago people would ask me if I ate barbecued snakes, spiders 🕷 or cockroaches, to which I replied "yuck, gross no way". Great stories.
Hi Luke, hi Zdenek! (Howdie to all the LEPSTERS as well) How could you not have mentioned "to put a bug in someone's ear? Just kidding! It was an amazing chat. Zdenek at his best. Vietnam is doing him good, I can tell! You're making a great team together. Looking forward to the next one! Cheers, Daniel.
I feel more paranoid after this episode hahaha, the story of the bed bug stuck in the ear is horrifying and the fact that the doctor sent him away to wait for 2 days is so annoying I can’t imagine how he slept with the bed bug stuck in his ear! , great conversation about creepy crawly things loved it 🐜🐛❤
Just to make a little correction there, Luke, some cockroaches do bite humans in Australia, unless they thought I was a huge piece of bread wrapped with a huge tea towel. Although they don't seem to leave any poison or substance on your skin like other insects do, so it doesn't get itchy or swollen.
There is an episode of Black mirror that came out years ago: cockroaches , is its name. You should watch it. Thank you for this very interesting epidode, by the way I'm scared of hornets
I was quite surprised ti hear that cockroaches fly, i knew that they have a wings, but never heard about much flying abilities. Maybe you confused your cockroaches with beetles?
Hi I want to download the audio files and save to a mp3 player and give to my daughter to practice English in high school , anybody know how? Since she can not use mobile in the school. It is forbidden. Thanks

@@RoseReadingsWell I cant show exactly which words or sentences, because I am not expert at this. But the way he spoke sounded like either European people seaping British accent with some features which make you think they are not British or British people talking to foreigners accommodating to them. Perhaps the intonation or lack of chaining words together like dropping or adding some sounds made me think like that
I made the mistake, terrible mistake, of watching this episode while I was having my tasty lunch and it definitely spolied my appetite. My Godness, that bedbug crawling inside Zdenek's ear and blending inside with cerumen, blood and other human dark secretions give the willies for the rest of the day and.. Night!!. Is this the Halloween Episode and I was totally mistaken about the day and hour ?... Shame on you ( Both of you) 👻👻👻
