Thanks Luke for sharing my story. While writing it I didn't even think about the possibility that you may want to make it public. For me it was a bit of a therapy. Writing it helped me to get better from what I had suffered only 1 week ago. Also it was my genuine desire of just saying "thank you". These days some of my friends have listened to the episode and they were shocked when they realized how much I suffered. I think that when I told them (while having a beer) it didn't sound that bad... Maybe I didn't tell them the rougher parts. Thanks!!

Hello. I'm from Ukraine. We live in a safe region. We do not have hostilities, but missiles are aimed at the energy infrastructure. In recent weeks, there is often no light for four hours several times a day. Power engineers are offloading electricity consumption. Then there is no Internet either. I download your videos when there is light and watch them when it goes out Your videos are made in a very high-quality and understandable manner, although my level of English is not very high. It was my hobby in the past, and now, during the war, it came back to fill my brain with something good and interesting and to get out of this stress and unreality of events. Thank you very much for your work.

Hi Luke. Thanks from Ukraine. Listening for the stories on your podcast gives me a short moment of going from reality just to normal, carefree life. Your podcast really helps to keep mentally. Reality of our country since russian invasia is like a nightmare. We witnessed awful atrocites and are full of pain. You can't wake up, no matter how to try, the only option is to study how to live with it. Wishing you the peaceful sky over your head, keep on doing your job 🙌

Hello Luke. I live in Canada. I recently found your KZfaq page and since then I listen to it everyday while going to work and coming back, even on my breaks. The amazing thing about your work is that It never gets boring , because of the way you narrate and the choice of stories. I enjoy each and every story. Thank you for the great great work. I’m so glad I found you. T❤

Fascinating story! I agree that your voice is very calming and it somehow gives us positive, energetic state of mind! Thank you Luke, lots of blessings!

Luke ! Look at yourself ! The ENGLISH Healing doctor! You got the gift ! You have such a smooth voice! And your English pronunciation great . I have taken my dose today! Thanks from México City

It's an amazing story. It's so great to find how a person could influence another, how one could comfort another and make a difference in an unexpected way. Well done, Luke. 👏 👍

Luke, my name is Marianna Ho. I now live in Belgium with my family. Originally, I live in Hong Kong. My husband and I visited my son and his family in Belgium 3 years ago. Due to the pandemic we stayed here and finally get our residency. I started listening to your Podcast about 6 months ago. I realise the more I listen to your program the more I love it as it covered a wide range of knowledge which I find it very interesting. Most important is you invite guest speakers to talk in your Podcast like your father and they are very good and funny. Thanks again your program not only helps us to improve our English but open up our knowledge as well,

I am a new here, so happy that I've found this amazing teacher

Hi Luke, It is to thank You for all Your work that helps me not to forget my English. Your podcasts are so interesting that I simply can' t stop listening to You 😊 even I almost don't use english any more.. Any time I am scrolling YT for something to listen to going through hundreds of other podcasts in my own language in some 80 % I come back to You thinking : " no, I must check LEP. He certainly has something new and more interesting" Also Your way of presenting it, sound of Your voice is absolutely the best among any native speakers (. clearness, descriptive skills and care for the your foreign listeners Making sure that they understand) Thank You for all Your time and all Your work to edit Your podcasts. Any time I listen to You I am sending You my thanks and good vibrations 🖐️💚

I’m not LEP Ninja any more 😂! I enjoy your teaching. I’m blind, pretty old (58) ”mama” from Finland. At school I (9 year old) was too lazy to learn English🥴, because I thought, I do not never need it🙄. But now I have British son-in-low 🥰! And now I really NEED English language😅. I have LEP Premium and it’s really good, thank you❣️. But you see, I have much to learn yet, but I’ll try hard💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼🤭!

Very Goodevening Luke I am one of your ninjas who always listen to your podcast silently. I am learning and improving my English through your Podcast and always increase my vocabulary by watching your podcast . Your podcast is very helpful for English learners like me I really enjoy listening your podcast on your KZfaq channel and story time is the best part of your channel I have just heard the story you shared today It’s really very compelling and remind eme of my daughter’s surgery. She used to wear braces , after sometime when her dentist realised that her braces are not working properly They did an ex-ray of hee mouth and decided to do the surgery and move her jaw by operation and fix it with screws It all went well and my daughter’s jaws was adjusted perfectly after the surgery You are a very dedicated teacher and I wish if you would be my English teacher then I would be able to learn English faster and quicker I will be very grateful if you could add more stories. In my opinion learning English through stories and from teacher like you will be more helpful for all the English learners like me Thankyou for doing so amazing job Really appreciate all the hard work you are doing through your teaching expertise

once upon time, I woke up afraid on a voice came out from the window, a few seconds later I realize that my phone was left running on your podcast :)

I'm so proud to be the part of the LEP!!! 🔥🥳

Thanks from Algeria. I'm really improving my English since I started following you on KZfaq. I practice "shadowing" when listening to you on my way to work (driving) and while cooking. You're a great teacher, Luke, thank you so much!

Massive thanks, Luke, for sharing this amazing story of recovery. You do bring extremely positive vibes by your stories. I'm new to your account, I've only listened to 'The mountain' and ''The umbrella man' so far, but I'll definitely stick to your channel as I loved immensely everything I've heard. Not only the stories but your presentation of the vocab is incredible. So thanks again and looking forward to your new stories!

Hello Luke has a refugee in Luton I'm listening to your lessons every day I appreciate thanks

Hi! I'm a ninjia😂....till now, actually. I'm an italian woman of 49 years, I listen to you while cleaning my house, just because I like english very much. I use to read english books (all of Ken Follett's), so I can understand 98%, but I realized I did't know the correct pronunciation ....so, I found you...thanks a lot

Thanks for all these you share with us,you are really valuable either as a teacher or as companionship in difficult moments!❤❤❤❤❤

Hi Luke! I was a little disturbed by the story, but I managed to go to the end, also because you said there would be a happy ending. The voice definetely has a healing power. I like the expression "once in a blue moon" Thank you for sharing this story. Ciao from Italy.

Yeah, I can relate. Not like I’ve had a bad trip in a hospital, but I also find listening to LEP comforting and somehow therapeutic because it reminds me of so many great days in the past.

I am proud of breaking the news that, by only listening your podcasts for 90 minutes a day for 160 days I managed to pass the English speaking exam. Thank you for your great efforts to teach us Luke. Loves from Turkiye

I am the one of LEP Ninjas from İstanbul/ Turkey. I realy enjoy your podcast and learn a lot of things about English. Thank you🎉🎉🎉❤

Thank you Luck, I love all your stories and learn a lot .

Hey Luke, since I started listening to your podcast I always wanted to write you to thank you for your job and say that you podcast is the first one I can hear the whole day or for a long time. Now this story was really interesting and fascinating story for me. Good bless Iñaki and good luck for English learning! I can imagine Iñakis story. You have such a relaxing voice. when I am excited or angry, one thing I can do is listen your podcast and calm down quickly. I can concentrate very quickly. I hope you can understand what I want to say, because my English level is just B1 und I am on the good way to learn and improve it with you. Thanks a lot and greetings from Munich

You are amazing. Thank you for being you :)

Hi Luke, Thank You for the great work You have been doing. I ve been looking for a long time for sthg to refresh my English but all I could find was either too fast spoken english or children or old fashioned stories. And as everybody says in the comments each of your podcasts is so interesting so different and on so many contemporary topics even dialiogs with your family and friends. I especially appreciate the trancripts which help me to "catch" new or missing words. Thank you again Luke

What an unbelievable story, Wow! I am glad to have the opportunity of hearing it. Thank you luke for sharing it, you're amazing.❤️ Greetings from Argentina

You are really amazing and support teacher . I always connecting your lessons. Thanks

I’m always happy to hear your voice! It was an amazing story, I have learned a lot of new words. Thanks a lot

Thank you very much for your amazing stories !!! I started following you three month ago. Your podcasts entertain me and at the same time teach me life lessons and ,of course they are the best tools to improve my English!!!

It is a very good story, it helps to me a lot of medicine vocabulary, and I feel happy that I don’t have that kind of problem . Estela from Argentina

The story really amazed me and also inspired me. Your voice, Luke, really has some kind of magical effect and I can’t live a day without your podcast) Thank you so much for your work!

Hi Luke! That's true! General anesthesia could cause very mental disorder, specially when it's start to going away! Some people have trouble with psicodélic effects!

Hi Luke, how is it going? I’d like to say before hearing this terrified story that happened to this friend,I widely believed that apart from those learning issues from your podcasts, your voice and intonation extremely are awesome and make me calm. Thanks a lot and appreciated. God bless you❤

Great job! Amazing explanations! Thank you

Hay Luke, i am your new subscriber from Indonesia. Happy to find your channel, your podcast help me to improve my English. Everyday i enjoy your podcast, give me more energy and more confidence.

It's disturbing but it has a happy ending. I agree with him that your voice is really soothing.

Hi Luke, thanks a lot for posting this extraordinary email and warning us about danger of general anesthesia, about this terrible consequences of it. It was really a nightmare for Inyaki and your voice has a healing power. You saved the day! I am glad that Inyaki back to normal again. I love stories with a good ending. I have never had a similar experience, all my operations were under local anesthesia. Your podcast "Fall asleep in English" helps me to deal with insomnia.

It’s one of the amazing episodes you have been giving to your followers.👌

Thank you for the episode ❤❤❤

Thank you for all your excellent lessons!

Hey, luke! I appreciate your podcasts. They help me alot with my pronunciation. Keep up the good work. ❤❤

Nice nice. Your voice has such a magical power, I don't think Iniyaki lied or had made a story, Even your laugh also has a healing power 😊 Any how I'm wishing good health for Iniyaki always

@Luke you are brilliant. Another amazing podcast. 👍👍👍

Hello, Luke! Thank you so much for your podcast, for those brilliant topics you touch upon! I started watching you quite recently while getting ready for one of the English classes. I've been teaching English at Russian state schools for nearly 6 years. The problem is that we don't get paid well at state schools, and I'm suffering the impostor syndrome as I feel that I'm not a born teacher lacking talent, though I'm a 1st category teacher. Your podcast helps me to relax and feel I'm not alone anyway as a teacher. P.S. I've been to the UK in 2000, being only 16, that was a great experience. I studied at Lancs, Accrington.

Hi I recently subscribed to your channel. It was the first podcast that I listened to, I enjoyed it, and I'm going to listen to your podcasts. Thank you. Please record more podcast😊

Hello Luke. I am from Romania and I listen to you with much pleasure. I am a beginner in learning English and I was a LEP Ninja until now. :)) Thank you a lot.

Thank you Luke for reading this amazing history. I am a new listener and l relly enjoy it.

Very nice story! Luke, you are wonderful teacher. It is a pleasure to listen to you;)

The best teacher I have ever seen❤

Thanks Luke. I hope you are doing well!! I have been following you for a long time, and I love the way you speak, especially random speech. I am a 65 year old doctor, from Chile. Thanks to your interviews I met Christian Saunders and joined Canguro Academy. We missed you at the last retreat in Gran Canaria. I wish to meet you in person some time, probably in the next retreat! I wish you the best!!! Rosana Baytelman

Vielen Dank Luke. Es ist sehr unterhaltsam😊 auf diese Weise english zu lernen.

Hi Luke, I'm a new follower of your Podcast, I'm english student from Valencia -Spain

Good teacher ❤

Normally I listen to your podcast before going to bed. Your podcasts are very interesting and joyful.

Hi! While I was hearing the story I would not think that is about a general anaestethic. Though in December 2022 I survived it myself. It was my first time and it was a disaster. I got conscious after 12 hours. And, I want to say also, Luke, that your podcast is fantastic. I have recommended it to my English teaher and she liked it! Thank you!

Good job

Literally burst into laughter when hearing his wife suggested him to listen to Luke’s podcast, his wife is genius.😂 but tbh I like your accent and voice so much. As an English learner, I learn a lot from you. Big thanks. 🙆‍♀️🫶

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the amazing work you do on your KZfaq channel. Your teaching style is engaging, informative, and truly inspiring. I have learned so much from your lessons, and I feel much more confident in my English abilities as a result. Keep it up the good work 🌹

Thanks luki

I really agree with you. You cure our souls

Hello Luke from Japan, I’m a quite a new listener and have been one of your Ninjas for about a month. I agree 100% that your podcasts give us hope and enjoyment that can change some horrible time to happy one😊 Looking forward to catching up so many programs so far, and new ones🎉

Thanks Luke for sharing this interesting story. Answering your question, this one wasn't disturbing for me at all
