As French living in the south of France, I discovered recently your podcasts ans I find them amazing specially the Short stories - But all are so interesting, clearly explained - many thanks this enormous work for us

Luke, thank you for this great episode. Actually, when we hosted the Olympics in Sochi, a vast majority of people opposed to it, because it was too expensive. But now, from my perspective, I can say, that it’s much better to spend money for the Games rather than for wars… ☮️

Thank you Luke for your efforts and explaining bit by bit and word by word..

I'm French, I can say I'm afraid about Olympic games in Paris. There are many problems. Anyway I hope it goes well

well done! always incredible to improve my english skills.. i love it. thank you so much!

i listen to you a lot . constantly. but today i am watching and listing to you at the same time. thank you Luke . thank you teacher !

Thank you for such a profound analysis! it is priceless for English learners and me in particular ❤

Thank you so much for the podcasts. They are very useful and valuable. ❤❤

Hello Luck!! I really was hoping for another walk and talk one! 😂 It's always great pleasure to see you again. And about Islam, the face covering is called, Borghe that is banned in most of the countries but wearing scarf to cover the hair is fine. Olympics in my thoughts has lost it's meaning because I think it has been created to bring the world together and help a less known country to be known but in these years it became a belonging of rich nations to pass it between themselves

Thank you very much for a wonderful lecture for teaching us vocabulary in order to know and be able to use it you are the best 👌 👍

Thank you, Very Much. God Bless you my friend!!🤗

We all wonder. Step up to the Games. Safety is under the radar. God bless France!

Great theme treated in light moment. Thanks teacher.

hey luke from 🇪🇹Ethiopian

Really enjoy your way of teaching, with both well prepared and impromptu presentations 👍

Luke,this has been a MASTER CLASS. Thanks a bunch! You really have a knack for teaching

Hi Luke! Thank you for the episode. It was interesting, informative, and entertaining as well. Talking about the Olympic Games these days, I would say that is a controversial event because our world is facing such problems as climate change, economic recessions, and wars. Why do governments waste so much money for this and not for more important things? On the other hand, it gathers people around the world together and potentially creates an open and friendly society, where competition exists only in sports. Furthermore, there are professional sportsmen for whom this is the main event in their careers, usually quite short. I used to watch the Olympic Games when I lived with my parents. They were being broadcast on TV which was often turned on during some competitions. Now I watch KZfaq mostly and I’m not interested in sports so much. I prefer to watch corgi races instead 😆

Hi Luck go on like with these sort of articles ,thank you ,i have not seen but i believe it is better than l expected

You are the best LUKE I enjoy to listen to you for eng learning, please countinue creating your great podcasts ❤

Thank you for your job ❤❤❤

Thank you very much. Very interesting article and excellent lesson.

Luke, in this video you can be heard using the Olympics as a singular noun. I'd expect both the Olympics and the Olympic games to be plural and used with plural verbs. Would appreciate your explanation.

Hii Luke love from INDIA 🇮🇳

Yeah! It’s really hard to Olympic Games in Paris Stadium when I am in the stadium so everyone so excited! So many exciting! And the atmosphere was great to watch and the 😂 celebrations! Good luck! USA team! 😊

It's very useful and valuable. Thanks so much

Luke is so excellent. Thank you very much😊

New subscriber. I’m glad I’m here..❤ love ur podcasts

Amazing as usual, Thanks Luke ❤

One of my favorite episodes this year! It is very interesting and entertaining with great company like Sting, Robert De Niro (amazing!!!!), or Liam Neeson. I stopped it many times to listen to the great explanations or your jokes again and again. You are my traveling companion every morning and afternoon on the way to work and back home. I laugh a lot while in my car, and you really make my days!! Thanks a lot!🥰

Given the upcoming winter Olympics in my hometown Cortina, your video was very interesting! I share the same fears and worries. Fingers crossed, let's hope everything goes well.

Thank you for such interesting talk.

Luke, thank you very much for your podcast, I watch it periodically and I like it very much. I live in Russia, and this situation with the invasion in Ukraine and the whole war that is currently taking place in this region, of course, is concerning all of us. It's terrible, exhausting and unhuman action. We're all against this war , we're against putin and all what he's doing in the world. We're getting very scared for what this so-called politician is saying about the nuclear strike, about the invasion, about the war, about killing civilians and killing in general. Thank you for your words and your understanding of this tense situation. I want you to know that we against the war and it is very dangerous to have such opinion in Russia nowadays. I could go in prison for these words and all critiсism of russian system. Sorry for my poor English ..that's why I listen for your lessons.

That was very nice

I think you are lovely, I think France 🇫🇷 and Paris in particular are lovely and this pre-Olympic talk was absolutely lovely ❤❤❤

Рэхмэт, Люк. Инглис теле бик матур

Keep going because you're the best...❤

Thank you so much Luke, it’s really very helpful to learn vocabulary through stories or some news. In the timing 28:36 of the video, spended is my English isn’t yours 🤭. Even in Arabic language we make too many mistakes . Thank you so much ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Peace 🕊️

Dude the quality of video is impressive! Did you get a new camera?

I caught myself thinking: Wow, the quality of the image is spectacular! It doesn't get better than that! New camera? Also, the design of the pod room changed a bit, looks cool👍

Great episode, Luke!

This is for you mr.luke 🌹

tks you i can keep update many information about Olympic. Personally, although this sport even can have some issues, i think it will be successful to support economy for France

As a French living in Paris I can say that apartment rent prices are going crazier than usual because of Olympics. We are not ready yet for the infrastructure like bus and so on. And let’s hope there will be no heatwave 😅

You are an amazing teacher, thank you❤ ❤ by the way it's good to see you with a beard again 😊

Hello Luke I appreciate a lot your podcast, it’s a very interesting subject. I of ten go to Paris and I feel thé same

Hi teacher Luke👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾from Noisiel

Luke, you definitely need to make one long episode, something like 3 hours long, just dedicated to all the accents and impersonations You do. Cockney, posh cockney, Robert De Niro, Liam Neeson, Obama etc, etc, etc...I am laughing every time. Thanks for the great entertainment.

great.great.great.

Very interesting article!!! I don't mind the Olympics at alll

It’s a really good episode, I listened twice to it, learned some good vocabulary and also some good facts about the Olympic preparations😄😄😄love love love to this podcast 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 oh and please name things as they are like you did for Russia and Ukraine, it’s not war between Hamas and israel, it’s a genocide by israel against the indigenous people of Palestine ☺️☺️✨🫶🏻

I pinge watch your talk in the summit .IAM an Arab...I left there a comment to Clare ,saying I join coz of you...Thanks Luke

Hi Luke, from Hong Kong 😊

Great podcast, and very ilustrative of the many problems the whole world is facing. Race, pollution, religion intolerance, and so on. In every story there are many sides you treated them wisely.

Hope we'll be able at least to watch the games here in Russia. Thank you for the lesson!!

Congratulations on the Topic covered. here in Brazil this problem is much bigger they are exchanging nature for increase in P.I.B (gross domestic products) i know the subject is controversial however in my opinion until the issue of overpopulation is resolved it is impossible to reverse ecological devastation. I live in Minas Gerais land of Pelé my grandmother said that when leaving the house on the farm she had to take the dogs due to the presence of Jaguars... today there are not even fish in the rivers... MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON US. 😥😥🙏🙏🌿🌴🌴🇧🇷

Hi from...Italy!

You are right! I live in Rio and all those promises were just a lie. They refurnished some parts of the city, while others are still not good. A good thing about it,it is that "The Porto Maravilha" they rebuilt is still a nice place to visit on the weekends,other than that,we still have a lot of things to be done.

I live in Rio de Janeiro and absolutely nothing has been done!

My babe and I love your podcast

Hi Luke, Did you get a new câmera?

❤❤❤❤

Thank you, Luke, for the almost two hours of enjoyment! Especially I liked your reincarnation into a London’s gangster, despite the lack of comprehension the ascent.

sir it’s scorching in 🇧🇩

Hi teacher from Ukraine❤

I think there are pros and cons … if I were Parisian I wouldn’t want a big event in my city because of the huge chaos it would cause !!

Love from Iraq 😊

かっこいい！！！

The recording of this episode is not perfect, there are a lot of cuts during the hearing

40:46 на самом деле,Кремль больше волнует заявления Макрона о том,что он отправит своих солдат воевать с Россией,чем олимпийские игры

Why did the article say “Plan Bs and Cs” instead of “plan B and C”? If there are more than one plan B, what does plan C mean?

Hey Luke! Have you happened to watch the new series 'Baby Reindeer' by any chance? I think it would be an interesting topic for one of your episodes.

Looking good, dude, looking good! Hey, Luke, have you seen Liam Nisson as Cupid video? It's hilarious!

Now its a new Olimpic discipline Swiming on open water

Our iraqi team will be there in Paris to join in Olympic games ❤

thank you, Luke. topicks become deeper when you light it up with your olimpic torch of thoughts. lol !warning! stupedly created by Human Intelligance after watching learning materials

Hello ❤❤
