  3. Hey Luke. I know you get this all the time but your podcast rocks. I mean it. Somehow you turn language-learning into something special and absolutely enjoyable. I found LEP like half a year ago and it totally hit the spot. I was searching for an appealing podcast to get exposure to British accents since I mostly listen to American English which is also the type of English I go for when I myself speak. My favorite episodes are those where you bring on either Amber and Paul😂😂😂 your wife or even your daughter. Those are the best!! Anyway man, no more RAMBLING on my part. Keep up the brilliant job you always make. Greetings from Cuba🇨🇺

    P.S.: Would love to get a shoutout 🙈😅

  11. Hello Luke, I'm a huge fan of your podcast:-) I love your style :-), Quick question regarding the "Nothing Short of" collection of short stories. Where can I buy it ? Amazon's Kindle format is available but I'd prefer a hard copy.

  21. I did a double take once in a while😀I just saw stangers on the street and felt they were a certain friend of mine, but it happened too often so I knew they were not. 😅I may have a little face blindness

  24. Couldn't have thought of those loads of possible explanations of the 1st story!! Incredible. Math, no.. logic during the English lesson! I had only 1 in my mind and you added: they are through, he is dead, they have never been together, … super! And another one in fact…which I disagree and will not comment. You are a great teacher as ever! By the way, you have almost come to the answer I ve been searching for for many years: " You would not say"BEATLES. Does it mean ..so I know now that it doesnt mean past deduction. May be it means Future deduction! Alas, u didnt tell us anyth about Future on that topic. Will keep deduct.

  34. I think, it's like waking up from a bad dream where your lover is cheating on you. And when you wake up you feel the relief. That it wasn't true. But still feel awkward and upset and confused
