Thank you so much for having me, Luke - I absolutely loved meeting you and having this conversation. (Listening back, I also enjoyed your mild descent into madness on the topic of Mars Bars at the end!) Thanks for being such a warm and inviting host, and for letting me share my views on what I think is really important about language learning. I hope your listeners enjoy this episode as much I as enjoyed recording it :) Rhiannon xxx

What a great conversation! Thanks so much for the pleasure❤ Rhiannon is absolutely my type of person🥰 a Welsh mother, rugby passion, Edinburgh overcast skies in her window and a degree in theology on top of all that lovely stuff🎉❤ and that slight &cute lisp of hers😊 Thank you Luke ❤ thank you Rhiannon ❤ enjoyed your chat

Why do people complain about laugh? It's so rude of them. Personally I enjoyed this podcast so much and the guest is so nice and sincere😍 thank you Luke for the episode!!!!!

Whenever you and your guest laughed, I found myself laughing, thank you for making me laugh Luke ❤

I love how she is so passionate about everything she talks about, very descriptive, connects one thing to another. There are hardly any universities in India that provides Christian Theology course so it was fun listening her experience and watching your reactions as well haha

As a student and language teacher I widely smile every time people're talking about CELTA-DELTA stuff. I spent each of 5 years dying hard for only Bachelor degree in teaching. I wish I'd known another way which wouldn't had taken so long (and only for the sake of the Bachelor's!). I wish I was young again

Thank you so much Luke and Rhiannon for the lovely conversation. I currently live in Wales and feel a connection with people who have Welsh roots. I admire Rhiannon as she holds a master's degree in Theology which is quite rare. My mother-in-law also holds a master's degree in Theology, and I understand that one needs to be a highly intelligent individual to comprehend the various concepts of religion. I absolutely love her very clear language and her attitude to studying languages. Well done!

Luke I have been listening to your podcast for 2 weeks. I like your manner of speaking, acting and teaching. It’s amazing. Especially when your stage stories you read.You make learning emotional and lively instead of boring. If all teachers were like you the whole world would know English. Good luck❤ Katerina from Russia

Thanks from Ukraine!

This is so good. I ABSOLUTELY love it. Thx luke!!

Thanks for such an interesting conversation! Yes, we have Mars bars in Lithuania, too. We call ir Marsas.

A new LEP episode for all to enjoy.

Enjoyed listening to your conservation, interesting and learn something new every single episode, including this episode. Thank you Luke & Rhiannon and best wishes!

This episod has really been a great one. Looking forward for more episods like this one. Thanks for your awesome work.

Natural conversations in your podcasts are very helpful for us as non native english learners, keep that way Luke and we call Mars chocolate bars in here Srilanka.

Hi Luke! I haven't eaten Mars-bar, I'd like to taste it. Thank you for this episode, it's fascinating, as I understand more and more. Comprehension comes from repeating listening).

Nice to be together again

Luke... I am listening to you for years. Honestly, I am addicted to your podcast. Mithu from India

I'm really proud of myself. I had no problem understanding your engaging conversation. Probably because both of you, Luke and Rhiannon, speak beautiful English and your pronunciation is pleasant to my ears. I also believe that the last few months, during which I have listened to many episodes of your podcast, Luke, have made me more proficient in listening to the English language. Thank you very much, Mr. Thompson😊

Thank you Luke and Riannon for this delighful conversation. I started to salivate with your description of the deep fried mars.

A nice feel-good episode. Thanks, Luke. I

I enjoyed the dialogue. Thank you both. ❤

I enjoyed these conversation, as always🙂

Really amazing podcast

Thanks Luke and Rhianna for that great conversation.

I loved the healthy and straightforward conversation. You guys are amazing. Sois increíbles!!. Gracias :)

Thank you!

I enjoy this podcast in the morning with a cup of tea! A fresh start for my Friday morning, I love the idea about having conversation with a new person and this is also so helpful with my English, especially I can try my best to follow up the chat like join my friends conversation. I was so afraid that this type of chat before, as I couldn't join my classmates' chats. This builds my confidence. Thank you Luke!

Thank you both for such a great pleasure, it was an absolutely amazing conversation and vibe❤

I really enjoyed. Thank you very much teacher.

Thanks 🙏🙏🙏🙏 I have enjoyed the conversation so much Keep on the good work

Perfection is so prized. Imperfection moulds you to adjust in any sort of situation. Imperfections are the only things that make you separate from other people.

Thank you for such Podcast .I enjoy really here

Veeeeery amusing!!!! I love your podcasts Luke😊

Since I could access to this website, I've watched so many videos from your channel on this platform.谢谢。

It was really nice. Thanks for such interesting conversation 👍🏻🤗

Thank you for your work ❤❤❤❤

Thank you! 👏👏

Really enjoyed this conversation! She's funny ad so genuine! I am going to London next year, and I appreciate the introduction of deep dry fishing chips 🍟

Hello Luke, Thank you very much, The episode is quiet interesting and useful. One thing I'd like to say is, that England's rugby team really is to be proud of. They played great rugby in France, and won bronze medals which are more valuable than the silver ones from the previous championship. Cheers Good luck.

Hi Luke, I really enjoy the last episode, especially when Rhiannon explained her coach approach, I believe that it is very helpful for many professional that have a good or excellent English level but some physiologic feelings such as shy, anxiety, uncertain and etc need also to be worked. I recognized that sometimes I missed some words during the conversation, but it´s totally fine, it´s part of the processes. Cheers!!

Diving into the studying of Theology probably will help you find answers for questions you couldn't find in your normal life.

Thanks you so much Luck's potcast i am from Uzbekistan i was born in samakhand i am a program

oh my goodness!! I was wondering what those Maz bars would be >>>>...lol... then after the interview you explained it then!!! bang~~here we go~~ I realized what it was.. !! That Mars bars~~~haha. I loved them so much when i was in Brisbane (oz). I have been there for 10 years.. i did not know the 'Mars' was that famous.. thanks for these beautiful learning materials. I came back to Korea since 2019 and become less familiar with English even though I have been teaching English for my students. Your podcasts are great breakthrough and real help for me to keep up my learning,, I love English so much and listeing to podcasts and reading English books are my all time favorite learning method. but teaching is quite complicated. i feel i'm still learner and i love to be that position. That's why I love watching your you-tube channel. I loved one of the ABC RN which called [All In The Mind] (Australia radio) and I had listened to that program for 6 years as I love the presenter her name was Lynne Malcolm. I dont know why , but her voice was just so much my kind of person. it helped me a lot to improve my listening and reading too as it was a bit academic type of program. and here we are i met your program since then as i was trying to find that kind of a good-matching-with-myself mode. too many English you-tubers and programs. but once I found out for what could be lasted for myself and my nature.. then choosing right learning materials would be so much easier.. its just for me. i was like that. I am my early 40s and and i hated about English till 20s as I had studied about Korean language ans literature and changed my major later into History in uni. So i was never ever interested in English back then. But i went to oz 2011 with my working holiday visa (is that right in English? just translated from Korean term.) that was my life game changer.. i loved English since then. bc it wasn't real English at all that i had learnt during my entire school life till high school. it was... just rubbish. sorry for saying like this.. but so many students hated English as it was one of subjects that made them overwhelmed with lots of grammar rules and not interesting materials for reading. but what i experienced in Australia was completely different than what I got my learning from school in South Korea. .... oops.. i should go and i wrote too much here. anyway i wanted to say thank you Luke, your channel is so much helpful and you are doing great work for English learners like me. i really appreciate what you are doing. have a wonderful day and night with your loving people in FR. 🥰

What a sweet woman! I loved her.

loved the conversation it was nice to get to know Rhiannon, i have to try deep fried mars bar

A lição é de fácil acesso e não tem muita repetição. Gostei muito.

❤I don't have words to appreciate you Especially Mr. Luke ... I have been exposed to english because of you

You helped a lot Thanks and greetings from Türkiye

Nice conversation 😻😻😻🎉

I'm also a language teacher, I teach Chinese students about Japanese language. I currently work in a training school, and our class focuses on the JLPT test, while I realized that there are lots of students that don't even want to pass the test. They sometimes feel upset when they couldn't pass the exams we prepared, and when they found that they were not prepared to communicate with Japanese people. I want to make changes but I myself still need to become experienced in the school...

This conversation was really good, I aprecieted it. BTW hello from tuscany

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏Goooorgeous, both of you !🇦🇷🇬🇧🇦🇷🇬🇧🇦🇷🇬🇧

Nice that’s what i need this English lesson for children and teenagers and kids and adult

I was thinking of an analogy encapsulating what Rhiannon said, about after learning English for an exam, in that it has similarities to passing your car test then you really start learning to drive in the real world. Very interesting conversation.

Thanks.

Thank you Luke for interesting conversation. It’s was a little bit challenge to understand Rhiannon, unlike you, but I’ve tried. And it was so amazing and joyfully to catch the meaning most of her speech (1 year ago I understood nothing)). And we call bar Mars in Ukraine. Like the planet). But it not my favourite (not healthy food, too sweet). And I want to say that had a little confusion when heard from you about frying Mars in batter (I had to search the translation, because I thought they dip Mars in butter and then fry it in oil😅)

the Jaoanese heater you were talking about at the end of your episode is called KOTATSU, by the way and I absolutely adore it. I wish I could have one of those in my winters in Italy, here in the Dolomites.

Thank you very much! Enjoyed your podcast. Japanese warm table with a skirt - you ment kotatsu! (As your russian listener living in Japan) I think it would be interesting to hear you speak about your experience of living in Japan, someday.

It was good

How interesting all of you guys are just complaining about her laughing. She’s kind of cute and contributes well to a new episode for Luke to be able to do.. 😊

Bon appetit Luke with yours mars bar 😀

Estou aprendendo ingles so ouvido este podcast.

Thank you! It was a very interesting conversation. I've enjoyed especially the part about teaching and coaching. I'm a teacher of my native language and I've finished post graduated course to be able to teach. I also live abroad and speak two foreign languages, one at C1 and one at B1 level. I find it crucial for being a good teacher to be also a student of a foreign language. It helps a lot to understand students and to motivate them. The worst teachers of mine, were ones who have not spoken any other language apart from their native one. Do you agree with me?

yeeh, good recomendation from Zdenek, she's funny

Hi Luke, for Mars Bars, as moroccans, we pronounce it like in french but with the arabic "R"

I have never heard of Mars bars in Peru, but they seem belicious, I'd like to try them

❤❤❤

We also have Mars🍫, it's international... We speak Romanian and pronounce it exactly as it's written, we also pronounce the 'r'. I remember when I was a kid, I liked Mars much more than Snickers, even if the last was more popular. Both taste heavy, but I recall Mars is lighter🤔

❤

could you please have a podcast with POC English.

🎉❤

💙

We have Mars and Snickers and Twix in Turkey. I used to eat Mars a lot when I was a child. In Turkey we have the American version I guess 🤔

Good job 🇵🇸

this great conversation ❤❤❤How can i have the transcript by email??

In Poland mars 😊

It is called “horigotatsu”. Normal style with no hole is Kotatsu.

Mars Bar😊

You can have a Mars bar in Romania!

Mars bars . I havent eaten for ages.

What a pity! If you were here in Mexico City, l would prepare you a delicious cup of tea!😮😅 for being such a Good daddy❤❤❤

How is your baby boy ❤

Why don't have this video the transcription available? We are used to downloading these to analyze the sentences and pronunciation. There isnt the option in the three points. Thanks.

Que nivel de inglés sería esta conversación ? Yo entiendo un 95 % con subtítulos 😊

You wont belive in Russia we call it Mars bar) You had very interesting conversation as always but i think that for many people it would be very fraiten cos if you dont know all about such profession as teather its atractive but when you go deeper its can be not cos you ynderstand how it difficult Many years ago i wanted to be Russian literature teather but i think i cant work with a children Thanks for the lesson

Hi Luck Can I ask you what's the difference between British and English Thank you I was one of the Nenja

美男美女❤

Mars-patukka in Finnish. NAM

It is interesting that a few times Luke didn't understand some words when other a teacher of English said. And they both are native English speakers.

Is it possible to have contract of that college of Theology ? Thanks

If you want to learn English, listen to how natives speak and not translate from you mother language.
