    Thank you so much, Teacher Luke. I'm preparing to take the IELTS test here in my city. I live in Recife, the capital of Pernambuco, in the north-east of Brazil, with my family, and we are in the process of immigrating to Canada. These little stories are the ones I enjoy watching the most. Especially when I can follow the reading of a story. Audiobooks are amazing!!!

    Hi Luke
    I'm a girl and currently on my period. The pain I'm in is incredibly horrible I took three pills to get rid of the pain but nothing worked. I remembered when you mentioned in one of your episodes I think it was episode 545, that when you're going through a crisis just blast out Luke's podcast and everything is going to be alright.I played this episode and listened until the end
    With every minute the pain went away
    I'm absolutely fine right now. Your channel means so much to me. Thank you so much, Luke

The short stories you had chosen are great for English learners, but it’s your insights and personal views that really makes this series special and so valuable. I have been very impressed and learnt a lot from how you looked at things and analysed the details :) Thank you so much for all the hard work and the energy that you have been sharing with the audience.

It really got me, the tension growing up in the room, the very detailed description of the faces while tasting the wine, and of course the ending... finally I was able to get the book to go on reading the other tales. Impossible to put the book down. Thanks for reminding me such a great writer in this funny story.

Your language is a perfect match for my level of proficiency. A variety of topics 👍; Introduction into some pieces of English literature 👍(would be nice to get a wider outlook); the way you process the vocabulary - and the vocab itself👍What is also really important FOR ME is that your podcast manages to deflect my exhausted attention from horrible things imposed to Ukraine that are still going on.
