868. How the USA is changing (with Lindsay McMahon from All Ears English) 

Hello everyone! Automatic subtitles are available as usual. I hope you enjoy this conversation with Lindsay. Check out my appearance on All Ears English recently about UK & US English ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_EuJ1y26MXc.html&ab_channel=AllEarsEnglish p.s. I have more story episodes coming soon! I know people want more 📖😅

Hello from China, one year ago when I started listening to your podcast, I can understand almost as much vocabulary as I can today, the difference is that I had to be REALLY focused to understand last year, one single noise would distract me and then I lose the flow, very hard to get back to your stories ,but today I can easily understand you while taking a shower, washing dishes or even fall asleep… the requirements to my environment is getting lower, which I think I need to thank you for, and I also like your singing:) to express my gratitude, I’d like to say happy birthday.

I don't know why I love your voice, it's calm and sweet😂, who is like me

I am always impressed by the quality of your podcast! I am living in France; I am learning English since 2015; your podcasts are a fantastic tool to learn English; to top on that you're a great teacher and a funny man!

Thank you for this interesting podcast Luke! I learn a lot, I'm a retired teacher of English in Argentina who travels abroad through my former students because I can't afford a trip hahah. The situation in my country looks like the ones you describe in the video about USA and UK, the problem is that we're a developing country so the poverty is bigger and the rich are richer and sadly the gap is increasing . I learn a lot with your episodes because they keep me in touch with the language. We usually meet with a coleague and friend to practise conversation and we watch your episodes too. I like talking about politics,and all the topics you cover. Thanks again for your podcasts and the link to All Ear English

Thank you! I'm from Ukraine. I watch your podcasts with great interest. You are wonderful! Thanks)

Thank you for showing the difference between American English and British English, and so is the political perspective. The conversation is very helpful for me to have a brief insight into political views from different cultural background.😄

Hello from Argentina. We have had ultra right democracy since December. 10th, 2023. President Milei is fond of Margaret Thatcher and Winston Churchill, among other liberals. As you see, I'm not good at writing about politics. Anyway, I am interested in what kind of leaders there are in other countries. I'd like to learn more about the problems with A I. in Hollywood. I'll check it later. I loved listening to all the idioms that you and Lindsay used in your conversation. Your podcast room looks lovely! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and feelings.

It’s so nice to see you playing the guitar and singing after a long time ❤

Today I learned that you have been teaching English since 2009. That's incredible. Your voice and yourself have hardly changed

Im Argentinian and this is amazing.. you re describing how conservative politicians changed for worse just in the points that our president and his cheer leaders says we re going to be outstanding, creating more competitors in order to beat poverty. id love to have this conversation with spanish subtitles so i can share this to all. Thanks, greetings from Buenos Aires.

Very informative.👍🙏👍🙏

I'm from Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩

Greetings from Poland

It's interesting to hear the situations in the US and UK. Here in Taiwan we haven't experienced economic hardship caused by the Ukraine War or Covid 19. However, we are constantly warned that we will be attacked like the Ukraine was. I haven't heard many of your stories, because I am a novel reader; therefore, I like to watch video from booktubers. I have a favorite booktuber from the UK, Scallydandling about the books. I am surprised to know that you are British, judging from your accent. I thought you are from the US. You are very energetic to make an episode last for over an hour! Thank you.

Thank you thank you❤, dear Luke, for this opportunity to learn and improve English. Your voise is super

Sir,I am from India.i love your English podcast because it is so amazing and fascinating I can't imagine.

Hello Luke. Thank you for this episode. I love episodes with guests because It gives me the opportunity to listen to other ways of pronunciation :)

Hello from Bogotá, Colombia, 2600 meters closer to the stars.

I'm from Ukraine! It was very interesting! Thank you a lot for guest and conversation! Could you please record the next episode about study system in the UK or another country within your guest? I think it can be interesting for your listeners Not only about learning English, just in general How study at school or at the university? Is folk pay for this?))

Hi, Luke. Thank you very much for this episode. Your conversation was highly informative and gave me an insight into the social and economic upheaval in both countries that has been happening now. In addition, I learned tons of words I'd never come across before. You used pretty advanced English in this episode. However, I was still able to get the gist of your talk. I live in Poland. What is going on now in my beloved country is beyond imagination. Since the last election, there has been constant turmoil. Tensions in the society have heightened even more. And the politicians seem to compete for the most arrogant public person. I've been into politics way too much for the last few months. Once I realized that I wasted my precious leisure time on tracing quarrels and jostling, I quit that. Instead, I turned to listening to English podcasts. And your podcast, Luke, is one of my favourite. And it's in British English. 😀

My English is improving with your podcast. Thank you Luke 🙏

Yesterday I watched "The Navigators", by Ken Loach. It migh not be the most notorious Loach's film, but still raises a few interesting questions on how capitalist societies affect the relationship between co-workers as well as their private lives to the point where even their safety can be put in risk, the way we are suppossed to compete with each others and to where are the margins that define wether that competition can be morally acceptable. I immediately thought it could be an interesting topic for a discussion, in case someone wants to use it in their learning environment to have a deep chat on the the matter 👌

It was a great conversation; I didn’t even take a break while listening. I just went with the flow. And it made me realize how much I missed hearing you and your dad talk about politics and the latest news.

Story episodes of Roald Dahl was very interesting. I missed to hear such kind of stories again☺️

Fantastic one. Please do more collaboration with American speaker Luke

Hello Luke! I'm from Russia. Thanks for the nice podcasts

Thank you luke,It was n interesting conversation between u n Lyndsey.although i m rarely interested in politics, today i felt that there is nothing wrong in being in touch with latest news around d globe, through such podcasts.

From Portugal, very good indeed. All understood.

Thanks Luke. So interesting 🎉🎉🎉

Luke, I really love it when you sing songs by The Beatles and other artists. Today's song brought back nostalgic feelings for me. It was probably influenced by the story behind its creation... or maybe more than just that.

Hello luke! You gave me a big help since i have discovered you, so far i have improved a lot. Thank you so much Bro.👍👏💪😜

Thnx❤❤❤

Hi Mr luks Thompson, our greetings from Nigeria 🇳🇬 I always enjoy your podcast, I now now have my little library of your podcast that I downloaded from RU-vid

Hi Luke, Thank you for this very épisode, the comparaison beween the two countries is very interresting it's a real good idea.

Thanks Luke for another informative, interesting, authentic and SUCCESSFUL episode! Thanks for sharing your knowledge, voice and guitar of Across the Universe! Beautiful surprise! And of course, I love your conversation episodes! I always learn sth new, sth I can connect with later! See you soon!

Thank You very much Galina from Stoke -on -Trent

Hi I am from Indian candidate,love your pod castings ,it is very good initiative for English learners.a wonderful thanks for you.

Hi Luke, Congratulations to reach 1mi, you deserve it!! I’m Brazilian 🇧🇷 living in Sweden 🇸🇪… I used to listen to your podcast in the gym 😂 You are helping me to improve my listening 🤞🏽🤞🏽

Hi! It’s hard to express how much I enjoy your work. First of all, you’re helping me tremendously with my dream of speaking English fluently. I’ve noticed that you’ve created your own world. Of course, correct me if I’m wrong, but I think you find it difficult to say goodbye to us. You always seem to want to stay a little longer, like leaving a party where you’re fully happy, but you have to go. Thanks a lot for everything.

Hello sir, I am From Indonesia, i like your podcast because it is amazing and fascinating i can't imagine

Nice conversation

Thank you for your guest. It was an interesting conversation. It’s cool to hear how ordinary people talk about life in their countries.Similarities and differences. Through your podcast I learn more about countries from inside. I think your value is to open the door for us who are learning English in the global world of communication and information. By the way the guitar 🎸 suits you very well)

WOW What a wonderful playing guitar, isn't it! It's amazing! Enjoyable! I have never seen before the real playing guitar!

Hey guys....luke and AEE together......amazing

Glory to the divine teacher! I heard you singing on the podcast … i like listening to life anecdotes as well, because it brings back memories and flashbacks of my own experiences. I am a boomer (i know we should go home) and glad for the grace of late birth as Helmut Kohl said ... may the powerful of the world rather rake in trillions than ally themselves with Voldemort.

I'm From India 🇮🇳🇮🇳 And this Is a splendid conversation As Always ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hello Luke,would be interesting to see how you ride bicycle in Paris and making your podcasell)

Good subject talk about our environment

I didn't care differences of American English and British English before. I knew they had differences, but they were in my imaginations. But today saw them tnanksfully you. Thanks a lot for showing differences between American and British English language. I wanna say that I have determined some differences for myself.

Nice to hear you playing the guitar and singing again🙏Took your advice and fully immersed myself into the audio version: your voice is so soft and soothing... Interesting the topic of the episode, it's a bit surprising to hear that in the UK, there's also corruption at higher levels. I'm from one of the poorest countries in Europe, imagine what's going on here🙄!

Hi Luke👋🏻 I hope you're doing well. I'm one of those listeners who not only watch your interesting episodes till the end, but also I do watch them multiples times to fully digest theirs contents. I'd like to recommend you to read extracts from Fyodor Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment or The Brothers Kamarazov; Franz Kafka's The trial; Albert Camus' the stranger; Earnest Hemingway's the Sun Also Raises; William Shakespeare's Julias Caesar; Ghassan Kanafani's Return to Haifa, etc. Bear in mind that these classics are considered the best ever written in the global literature, which do target the aim of your podcasts. I'm looking forward to seeing you reading one of these classics. Best regards. Amen.

Hi Luc. For those who seem to like your background, you may make a small change and see if anybody will notice it or you can announce it and ask to seek it out, probably it will increase the interaction?

It was interesting))

To be honest, I like this podcast

The election results in individual countries, especially in the United States, will have an impact on global security and peace. I keep my fingers crossed for those who will be willing to collaborate for world peace🤞🕊

Luke, before I listen to a new episode, I check the statistics, and there the LEP subscriber curve is continuing to rise. That's great!

We want to next episode!

Hi Luke you’re the best podcaster ever,I watched all your episodes and videos and I feel like I am your family member ,kind of relative 😊❤😂

Conversation with Lindsay was surprisingly short, I would even say unusual short🙃 I’m trying to say I wish it lasted longer👍

Dear Sir, studying with british podcasts and American podcasts at the same time to learn English has any effect , is it good or bad...? Mostly I'm following your videos because I love british way of speaking...❤❤❤

I am one of those “ninjas” forced to leave “the darkness” due to the terrible noise…😂😂😂…I realize that it is the perfect strategy to force the “ninjas” to come out, brilliant 😂😂😂 Thanks!

Coming to you from NY City and Coloradooooo UuuuuuSsssssAaaaaa😅

When I see that it's a video with guest I'm always hoping that your guest has a good micro. This is definitely the case😅 Thank you for the episode😊

Very good men. 1:05:48 ❤🎉😅

Hello I’m from Somali 🇸🇴 . I’m watch your podcast with great interest .you are fantastic teacher thank

Hi Luke , vansh here from india. I wanna tell you about one teacher who runs a RU-vid channel called as English coach chad, he is just amazing and brilliant, would you not mind to get him on your podcast for the English purpose.👍👍

If I dare to voice my opinions on the state of affairs in my country, I risk facing interrogation or even imprisonment. I hope that clarifies my concerns

Across the Universe ❤

❤💙

hey lukes first of all thank you for your effort. you know we are new learner to the english language and intermediate speaker have a big problem with go through advance level . We dont modified easly because of vocabulary especally advance level vocabulary. You know already we have some of the list to memorize them. I think different aspect of given postcast. for example you prepare a postcast just context and topic but we need to some of the word repitation. I mean you can chose 10 or 20 advance level word and try to use them again and again on your speech. İt can be very effective for us. listen 1.5 hours podcast and hear 50 times same word bit different sentence. it can nail wolrd our brain ı think soo please think a bit of this aspect.

Hello Luke, why can’t I watch your latest episode on RU-vid 869 what’s the issue there?

👍

Luke's speech is very clear. But nonetheless, American English is always easier to understand. Maybe the idea of swallowing letters that has seized British English at some time period isn't so great.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I Hope they will change to stop funding wars....

Im from Poland

Interesting the podcast. Talking about politics, in my country, Spain, is the same problem, Politicians argue and argue endlessly about issues not important for the rest of citizens. The country has many problems: agriiculture, high rents, unemployment especially of the young- But the politicians only think of their parties , and don't make an effort to join ideas, to solve the problemas. It's frustrating, and ,at the same time, annoying. Many people are not interested in politics anymore, especially young people and this is a problem because the only voters are more than 40 years- old. This frustration gives way to the exponential growth of far-right partes, with an authoritarian and dangerous view of the problems. They are populists . The future doesn't seem to be brilliant
