Hi Luke, I’m very happy listening to you again. I lost Jhonny in Japan and yesterday I found your podcast and I was very surprised… I hope you will talk to us for a long time!
I am from Chiang Rai Thailand. Your podcasts are great!
I will recommend to my students here.
Hi Luke, great work! I would like to ask your permission to use your interviews and tapescripts on a course i’m putting together for Japanese students this summer. Seb
Go ahead Seb, just credit me please, and suggest that your students check out my site: http://teacherluke.podomatic.com
I guess you’ve already done this course as you left this comment some time ago. I hope it went well.
Hi, Luke! I’m from Ukraine! Thanks for your London native speakers interviews with TRANSCRIPTS
) I sent a link to my friends! Great work!
Hello Luke,
Greetings from a small Island.
My name’s Carlos. I’m from Brazil and currently I’m living in London.I work as bus driver and I really enjoy listening to your podcast espcially when I’m inside my little cage.
Thank you for you free podcasts. After all, all good things are free. (old cliche).
Cheers!
So pleased that a London bus driver is listening. Which bus number do you drive Carlos?
Hello Luke,
Well, I don’t drive in a regular route. I do many different bus routes throughout London. For example:
Route 3 which goes from Cristal Palace to Oxford Street, 407, P13, 157, etc.
Once again, I’d like to thank you for what you’re doing. (Very intertaining and
informative).
Cheers mate!
It’s me again. I just want to add that my spelling is also very “en·ter·tain·ing”.
Bye.
Hi Luke!
I just discover your videos today, and I’d like to thank you for your help in our English learning.

By the way, I just vote you for the Macmillan Best Blog Awards. I hope you win it.
Cheers!

By the way… I enjoy your accent!
Hey there! I’m big fan of your podcast!! BRILLIANT!!
Hello Luke! After listening to a podcast that a listener from Argentina sent an mp3 I wanted to do the same… But I’m a bit shy haha. By the way, my name is Mara I’m brazilian and I live in Fortaleza. I study International Trade ( I don’t know if the translation of my course at college is correct, but… ) at college and speaking english will be very important on my career. I also study spanish and I’m almost fluent. Your podcast it’s helping me a lot on my listening. When I started to study english I learned the american english and I used to have some difficults to understand the british accent. But then I found your website and my listening it’s muuuch better! So thank you very much. I like the way you teach because you have a nice sense of humour and while I’m learning english I’m also having fun. I guess this is interesting. I love your accent, it sounds so lovely… I hope you keep making podcasts for a looong period of time. Cheers! Bye, bye, bye, bye. Mara
I’m really exited to see your podcasts. I enjoyed a lot while I’m hearing and
looking at your podcasts. I’m crazy about English language from my childhood.Now I found the real one to improve my language.
Hi teacher luke, how are you? This is Rafael here from Brazil, i lived in london for 2 and half years. I watched your video about the 16 ways to say i like it, it is cool. I need your help, once i said to someone that i prefer the steam room than the sauna and the person replied to me that prefer the steam room too, but i don’t remember how he said it to me, i know it was very different from the way people used to say, for example, i prefer the steam room too (or also, as well), can you help me to remember different ways to say that we prefer something too but those cases that are not very common? Thank you.
Actually Rafael, the man was correct. You should say “I prefer the steam room to…”
I prefer xxx to xxx.

Hi ! Luke u are great!!
Teacher Luke!
When should we use : do you XXXX & have you XXXX
quite difficult for me, thank you very much for your effort in here
Hi Sir Luke,I’m Imran from Malaysia.I wanna tell you your podcast is as good as Sir AJ Hoge’ one from Learn Real English,an American English teacher.He teaches non-native speaker how to speak English easily,clearly and automatically.Do you know him?It’s such a great moment if both of you meet each other and share opinions about teaching English and whatever related to it.Then,a new great episode can be produced such as The Difference between American and British English for example.Ha2,By the way,I enjoy listening to your podcast and it helps me to a lot to learn British accent and sentences as were really used by real British people which would’ve never been taught in classrooms at schools.So,Thank you.Continue producing it.
Nice for learning english
Teacher | Luke, you drink tea all the time. haha. What’s your favourite kind of tea. haha
My favourite tea is English Breakfast tea by Yorkshire Tea. I prefer to have it quite strong, with milk and sometimes sugar. I do like other tea though, such as green tea and chai.

It’s a pity you had nothing to say about Russian food, you could try some pancakes with jam or sour cream))

Hi Luke,
Many thanks for updating your blog. I’ve been looking for this moment for quite a long time but I perfectly knew that I have to be patient because you’re so busy, aren’t you?
Your website with podcasts and videos is way too heavy for my old laptop and it’s pretty difficult to scroll the whole content. Does that make sense? Well, I’m not sure that I make myself clear.
However, thanks a lot for all you’re doing for us. Your podcasts are very funny, interesting, entertaining and extremely helpful.
Regards
Bettina
