I hope you enjoy the episode and it helps you think about your own level of English and what to focus on when studying. The link for the PDF is in the description (no need for your email address or anything). 🫖

But your introduction is so long . I think it'll be better to make it shorter.

How did I end up spending one and a half hours of my Saturday morning listening to this? Amazing Luke, thanks for this video. Your delivery is totally absorbing (as is your humour) and I found the topic and opinions fascinating. I actually skipped breakfast and now have to go straight to lunch!

I also respect both of you Mr. Luke and Mr. Kieth.

I listened with interest to your podcast with Santy.I came to England at the age of 43 and did not know the language at all. Then I started my journey in this country and at 47 I became a qualified teacher in a primary school and now a lecturer in a college. Of course, I have my Ukrainian accent and I get asked all the time, but it's getting softer. I was so worried about this before, but now I just do my job with love. Most importantly, love what you do. Thank you for that podcast ❤🎉🙏

Don't worry about the critics I'm an English learner watching your show is my daily routine when I take the bus and do other things it's your show that keeps me company your updates and your voice is important to me

The type of content that I've been looking for on the whole internet

I think it is really encouraging to listen to non-native speak successfully using English. In an actual work environment, you listen a wide of accent anyway.

You are perfect tutor! I am an English teacher in Turkey and every day I improve both my grammer and pronunciation, thanks for all your help!

Hi Luke! In fact English is not the only lessons you teach people, but you give us life lessons too. Your sincerity, empathy, patience, sense of humour and sarcasm make your podsact a unic and curative place. Your remarks about accents reminded me a case from my tour guiding past. Once I was guiding a big group from UK,and their tour leader tried to make a joke on my accent, addressing to the group: " Well, miss Certain provided us with quite comprehensive and interesting information, all was perfect except her accent". Immediately an old gentlman from the group asked her for a microphone and turned to me: " Excuse me miss Certain, I was wondering how many laguages do you speak? ". I replied " 2 mother tounges and 2 foreign languages with accent". Then he asked her: " Dear Dorothy , what languages do you speak?". She answered: " As you know English is my mother tounge which is enough to feel comfortable everywhere". Then he turned to the group: " Oh,bravissimo! Ladies and gents,let' s applaud our British tour leader for speaking her mother tounge and only language with no accent!"😅

Sometimes I've been stressed out thinking of my English level.. But not anymore. English has become a daily routine. Reading, listening and even sometimes dreaming in English. Now I know I won't ever be a "total bilingual person" (I began studying English when I was an adult) and knowing that put me in the right place to keeping me on learning everyday a little more. Thanks so much for uploading this Video. It was very helpful.. As usual🙏

You need to say "totally" bilingual, not "total" bilingual.

I loved all your passionate discussion while listening to this episode, first on podcast and then on KZread. I think I caught your mood: you were like a knight with a great banner of justice to defend a just cause. You didn't talk about real English and related direct ways to achieve the language learning goal (not only); your words were prompted by a strong inner desire to stand up for something you believe in. Thanks for this passion Thank you for all your always very lucid, rational and effective advice, not just for learning English. Thank you

That's great to hear!!! Thanks for your effort.

I’m from Japan and it is very common for people to be judgmental, which leads people unwilling to speak English in Japan. Everyone has different perspectives on language learning, but no one has the right to blame or judge others’ English. For me, even though I am trying to use correct English, I am not that fussed about being perfect as long as I can transmit what I mean.

I definitely agree with you ! What it is good - as it is told in psychology ; just enjoy your journey and rid off thinking about the finishing line - be passionale about what you're learning and enjoy it. Then you willl be more involved to make progress and your brain will come up ideas to ameliorate yout English. Good luck !

That is a perfect interview. Especially for me as a migration first generation, I am what I am, not native speaking. Gain confidence to present in English and no hiding, accent is part of my identity. Your sample of different favors of crisps is very beautiful,❤❤❤ very encouraging interview. Thank you very much for both of you.

I enjoyed that episode with Stanti as a guest. And the word quixotic still stays in my mind. Language is just a tool for learning other things and communicating with others. Heart to heart connection is way more important than just being aethestic and fancy.

I really enjoy listening to your podcast! Thank you very much!

❤ thank you so much . Thank you for pdf !!! 🎉

Thank you Luke!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

You are a paramount teacher Luke, I am rooting for you !

Luke, You are so fantastic as usual.Thank you for your slogan that "learning English is a game".So no stress,no effort and burning brain but loving heart.❤👍

Thank you! Your are reinforcing my motivation! Very pleasant listening!

You are the best Teacher! Thank you very much!

This is my first time listening to your podcast and I would like to thank you because this includes lots of useful information that I wanted to know. I'll also listen to the episode with Santi to improve my perseverance and positivity in learning English.

Excellent podcast, thanks

I am an Indian living in Kerala State, India. Malayalam is my mother tongue. I love English and want to learn it. Through your videos I think I can learn English, especially the spoken one. Nobody speaks English here. Everybody speaks Malayalam only. Your videos are the only source I can rely on to learn English. Thanks for your nice videos Thomas V. A. from Kerala State, India.

Nice new episode dear Luke. I really enjoy it. Many thanks for all.

This episode has shed some light on my teaching job. THANKS

Many thanks. I always enjoy listening to your podcasts

Thanks Luke, for all your podcast. I'm really learning a lot from you!!

You've just made my day, since you gave me a charm view of the level assessement and how crucial to keep work on your weaknesses

This Podcast is absolutely amazing!!! Thanks so much.

I started listening to your podcast recently, maybe with you, the path to achieving the goal will not be too long.❤🇧🇩🇧🇩

You are a great teacher and also motivator .

Thanks for your work. Much appreciated.

Thank you so much Luke for another one of your great podcast.

We all love you Never stop🔥🔥🔥🔥

Thank you very much Luke for another one of you great podcast.

Thank you so much, Luke. This episode is so encouraging and inspiring for me a passionate learner of English. :)

Greeting from Morocco. Hi, dear Teacher Luke. Hi, dear LEP listeners. First of all, many thanks for this amazing podcast that encourages us to keep moving forward and never lose motivation. Yes, I struggle with pronunciation, but I am aware of my weakness and I will work on it. Practice, practice, and practice is the golden rule. Practice makes perfect. The ultimate goal is to communicate with people, not just to master the language as a skill

Thank you ❤

Despite the fact that I have an IELTS level 7 certificate, listening to your videos (especially short stories) can help me further develop my English skills. That is why I have bought LEP premium. Thank you for your help , Luke! ☺👌

Just few minutes into the recording and loving it already. Will surely recommend this to many. Thank you.

I enjoyed very much your episode with Stanti ,He is so much courageous for me to imitate. And this episode 819 I repeated twice times! Thank you! Luke👏

Thank you for this great episode! It's informative and useful! And thank you for your wise pieces of advice!

Thank you Luke. After 8 years of interruption, you've just given me a push to regain my English. How not and i am starting soon to be a teacher again. I lost much of my fleuency but after listening to you, i think It won't be hard to make a success. Have a nice day Okba

Hi Luke, listening to your podcast is already part of my ritual on a sat morning, thx heaps! your daughter 's recording melt my heart, she s so sweeeeet!!! plsssss get her on more in the future

Thansk a lot Luke.

Absolutely love this episode! I'm an English communications coach here in Taiwan and everything you've said here is what I tell my clients as well, especially those who are new. Most of them come to me after years of learning (not including the 9 years in schools) and still couldn't communicate effectively in English. Most of the common issues are as you've mentioned e.g., they have very high scores in TOEIC (Listening & Reading) but couldn't speak and write coherently. They typically use rare or inappropriate words and confusing sentence structures. Some are too tied up with having "perfect" pronunciation or grammar that they're afraid to speak. Many also have issues understanding non-American accents; Taiwan education promotes American English as "good" English, so much so that many professionals couldn't deal with clients and partners who speak other Englishes. Accents, overall, is the least important; Fluency & Coherency is the primary key in communications - if the content is not logically structured or the ideas aren't linked, no amount of "high level" vocabulary, "perfect" grammar, pronunciation or accent could make the communications effective. Of course, as you've said, that's not to say vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation aren't important, but they don't need to be perfect to achieve effectiveness.

You are great English teacher,thank you teacher Luke.

Thank so much teacher

thanks, it's another great lecture !

We shouldn't focus on perfection, because no one is perfect. However we should pay attention to clearness in speech and fluency

I listened with great interest to your podcasts. You are a wonderful tutor!!🙌

Explained very well

Teacher Luke has helped lots of leaarners improve in learning. English. God bless you! 🙌

The video is fabulous, telling us that task completion and the communicative function should be the most important concern but not the pursuit of perfect English accent and grammatical accuracy. Thanks for this fabulous A++ video.

Thanks for your working from South Korea. We, Including East asians, were learning English as Foreign language perfectly which doesn't related verbally and culturally with our language and your works help improve natural English skills of ourselves.

Excellent!!!

Hello Luke! Thanks for this lovely episode! You really touched upon the points which are important in language learning. I would say seeking perfection is OK but, it shouldn't stop a learner from using this beautiful language.

Very interesting so looking forward to someone with whom I can practice every day

What a lesson! Wow! Well done. Thanks Luke 😊

Luke, I love watching your Podcast. My listening and reading skills have improved a lot since I started following your channel. You a are brilliant, teacher! Thank you for your guidance. 💙🇧🇷/

I love too hear you tech here sir,I can understand you very well.

This channel is excellent. Loved it :)

For me a perfect and just in time podcast... The precedent one was the one you did with Santi.

thank you Luke

Thank you so much

You are a good person, I really enjoyed to listen this podcast, and I will listen again one more time, God bless you and Thank you so much❤

I've just finished watching this episoden and all this Santi's case reminds me of Raúl, the former Real Madrid's footballer. A lot of people used to say that he was a mediocre player with very few skills and that he was so popular just because he played for Madrid. But thing was that Raúl kept scoring a great amount of goals year by year. What's more, he spent a couple of years of his career in Shalke and there he got the recognition he deserved for being an extremely commited professional and helped that club to achieve awesome results. I'm sure that was the key of his success: hard work, attitude, continuous improvement... And so must be Santi's professional achievements' secret as well.

Love this KZread Chanel! ❤

Thank you Sir ..
