    Hi Luke,
    It was about 13 years ago when I first listened to your podcast. I was very interested in British music, culture and accent back then. Then I studied English in Edinburgh for a year. (As I remember, when I was there I messaged you on Facebook and you replied to me!)
    Anyway, found a partner there, have my own English school in Japan, and then I started my podcast being inspired by you!
    Your podcast gave me good inspiration. And still is!
    Thank you, and I'll keep on listening to your podcast 🎙️

    Such a perfect Video to watch after Lunch...Since I only watch CZcams on my TV, I made myself a cup of tea (Here in Spain We also drink Tea)sit comfortably on the Sofa and I watched the whole Video. It was even better than watching a movie and definitely easier to understand.Well done. Thanks so much for your dedication and keep on posting Videos like these👍

    Hi, Luke!
    This is Yuri from Kyiv, Ukraine. I have a National University Diploma (The English language and literature, translator, interpreter, and teacher).
    I did not see myself teaching English after the uni, but I have obtained a lot of experience in translating and interpreting. In the 90-ies I used to work as a manager for big companies, including abroad, including India and Singapore. Communication with English-speaking Indians and Chinese had a bad effect on my pronunciation, though most of the people I dealt with were well-educated top managers. Unfortunately, I have never been either to UK or to USA. American English sounds somewhat unnatural to me, I often struggle to understand it, whilst all the words are well-known to me. On the other hand, British English is like a music to my ear. I enjoy listening to native British very much. That is why I often get to the educational CZcams channels. Among Lucy, Harry, Greg, and others I came across your channel. Now, you are #1 for me. Firstly, your London pronunciation with a slight hint of ‘Oxford stutter’ sounds perfect (as it appears to me). Secondly, your content is always interesting, profound, and meaningful. Good job, Luke, thank you so much!
    We, Ukrainians are very grateful to the people of UK, Mr. Boris and Mr. Rishi for your support and standing up with us in this rough and challenging time. By joint efforts, we will defeat the evil, no doubt.
    Thank you ever so much!
    By the way, I have a question related to the subtleties of English. Sting in one of his well -known sons sings ‘He does not play for the money he wins, he don’t play for respect’. Of course, it’s all about semantics and connotation, but I don’t have a clue what exactly he means here. Would appreciate if you can clarify.
    Regards, Yuri.

    Hi Luke!
    This video is fascinating!
    I loved it!
    Greetings from Chile.
    Chile is the Latin American country with the most British ancestry.
    Reason why, Chile is the Latin American country with the highest per capita cosumption of tea.
    And also, it is the only country in Latin America where the cosumption of tea exceeds that of coffee.
    We Chileans love to drink tea at any time of the day. In the morning, in the afternoon at night…
    We usually drink approximately 4-5 cups f tea daily.
    And just like in the UK, here in Chile we also drink milk tea. Although, not all Chileans like.
    Some prefer tea without milk.
    It is said that it was a British sailor who gave a packet of tea to a neighbour in the city of Valparaíso.
    In the past, here in Chile people used to drink yerba mate. There are still some Chileans who consume it.
    The British instilled in our country the custom of drinking tea. Because they didn’t really like drinking yerba mate.

    Another reason why tea consumption became very popular here in Chile, is because in 1767 there was a tax on the consumption of yerba mate, in order to pay for the construction of the Cal y Canto bridge. Therefore, the English, who were already installed in a large part of Chile, took over the importation and distribution of tea in our country.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Actually laughed out loud. 😂 Thank you both. She's hilarious.
    I'm a Korean. So I'm going to try explaining things that confused you.
    A blood type group 'worry about nothing' must be meant to be 'worry about petty things' .
    And toilet papers as housewarming present has a deeper meaning than giving necessities. It's a symbolic present wishing that everything will go well, like toilet paper roll unwinds well. 잘풀리다 means both go well and unwind well.
    Am I making sense? So we think of A blood type a worrier as you said. ;)

  • @joek6023
    @joek6023 Před rokem +3

    To clarify my earlier comment about toilet paper as a housewarming gift, the phrase 잘풀리다 (well-unwinding) has a meaning that things work well or go well.
    The gift of toilet paper is seen as a wish for the new homeowners to have good luck and success in their new home. 😅

    why Korean gives someone the toilet paper for the gift of the housewarming party is we hope that, as if toilet paper is easy to roll down, your life like is going to be alright, and go through without a hitch, like toilet paper being rolled down, in your new house to be better than in the old house, which has this meaning.

    As a curiosity, it's true that in Spanish bassoon is called "fagot" but the stress falls on the last syllable so it is pronounced as "faɣOT". The G in the middle is not like the g sound in English but is actually like the letter غ (ghayn) sound in Arabic. That's why I didn't understand a first what instrument Kate was referring to when she said the insult.
