What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I find the most precious aspect of your podcast to be the attitude towards language learning and the exploration of the world’s diversity. You inspire me to stay open-minded, positive, kind, and create connections with others. That’s what I’ve learned from listening to your podcast over the past five years. I also appreciate your introduction to David Crystal. I’ve read several of his books and enjoyed them. I wish I could also purchase your father’s book. It sounds very interesting. I particularly enjoy your rambling episodes. They show me the importance of continuous exposure to diverse content over time.

I have tried so many podcasts for learning English and this is the one that I still fall in love and stick with. Thank you so much for your constant generous effort to make podcasts for your LEPsters. Shoutout from Myanmar🇲🇲

Ju Ju Burma · Jul 2023

I discovered this podcast only few months ago, and I regret not finding it earlier! If you love British accent like me, you will never be able to stop listening to teacher Luke! Beyond British English you will learn about all aspects of British culture. In each episode there is something new that is worth listening to, over and over again!! Also, Luke and his friendly guests, will keep you in good company at these difficult times of lockdown. So basically you get the language, the culture and the entertainment....To say the least! Luke is a highly skilled English teacher, a very patient and very humble personality! I can’t find enough words to thank him and congratulate him on his brilliant work!

Hannah@LEB · Nov 2020

It’s entertaining, funny and diverse. I was search a podcast to learn english and this one is like listening to a long time friend. I really enjoy it!

VDelvis · Aug 2019

It used to be a great podcast, but... now the podcast is, at best, boring. Luke has ran out of steam, topic’s range narrowed down to music and comedy, mostly. Occasionally he revives one of the old topics, but nothing fresh there too. If you’re not learning English to become a comedian, and you’re not obsessed with music, you probably won’t be particularly interested.
