In reply to a couple of comments, reading aloud might be problematic for learners of English who don’t yet pronounce all their words correctly. In that case, reading along (or shadowing) while someone else reads aloud, could be a good idea.

Hello from Thailand Luke! I do agree with you that shadowing is a good method for practicing pronouciation. It would be nice if you could make a special episode that you read a story for us as an orinal story as you normally do in your short story episode and then you have another section that you pause after each sentence (or a bit of sentence) so we can repeat after you. As I listen to your podcast while driving, it is impossible to press the pause botton by myself. Thank you in advance for your consideration.😊 Ps. You are my first (and favourite) youtuber I left my comment!

Hello Luke, I am a spanish speaker. Before internet, there was difficult to hear a foreing language, so I studied written English by myself. Today I have a very hard problem: when any English speaker talks to me I've problem because I have never heard many words even I know it in written mode. Now I have to beging to study from zero.

Hi Luke I am a doctor from India and i have been suffering from depression and Ocd for the past 25 years. For people suffering from OCD and depression concentration can be a very big issue .They are never in the present moment. I can definitely vouch that reading out loud helps you stay in the moment and helps form memories .

Greg, great, great lesson Luke👏👏👏👏. I’m reading in this days The Medicis which is a story of the Medici’s Family of Florence. Two days ago I started to read the book aloud because I thought that in this way I will pay more attention to my pronunciation. And I succeed. So it’s absolutely through what the article says……. What the article doesn’t say is that if you are reading in that way, you need to have next to you a glass of water because your mouths, particularly your tongue, will get dried 😊, but the experience is absolutely positive.

Hi Luke, Firstly, thank you so much for making these high quality episodes for English learners around the world! Answer to your questions at the end: 1. I did read the article aloud at the end and it took 15 minutes to do so. Felt more confident and relaxed towards the end. The words came out easier. 2. What you discussed/ the article you shared was so inspiring that I decided to read out loud an English article everyday (10-15 minutes). Apart from enhancing memory, I believe this is also a good exercise for muscles around the mouth :-) so when it comes to real conversations, I might have better/ quicker reaction and can speak out long sentences more natural. Thanks again and have a good day/ night.

Luke's podcast also is a great memory for me. The very first time I checked out luke's podcast was way back to my uni life in the leeds. Our school accommdation's janitor is an immigrant. Every time, i greeted to him and his english really amazed me. And we started talking about his journey to the leeds, and asked about his English as well. He recommended luck's channel to me. That is why luck's podcast is not all about learning english, it is also anout my memory meeting nice friend.❤
