    Without your explanation and a summary of the story, I can't understand it because of the old fashion language, which makes it really difficult to comprehend. Thank you Luke.

    This podcast brings back a lot of memory and enjoyment I used to have for Sherlock Holmes series. Thank you so much. So now I'm rewatching all seven seasons played by Jeremey Brett, I used to watch the dubbed version when I was in primary school on my small TV. And what makes me even happier now is that I can understand what the characters are saying better.

    Hi Luke. Your channel and this video that CZcams recommended me is one of the best findings on the Internet for a long time. After ten minutes of watching I have recommended it to my students. Because you read the story and explain it very well and there is also a text in front of the eyes to help. That makes understanding it quite easy even despite the 19th century language. So what you do is really helpful for the foreign learners. Thank you very much.

    What a wonderful opportunity to have you reading the story and commenting on it. It is long but it is worth the time. Honestly, through my everyday life, I managed to watch the whole video in two attempts. And I can't thank you more for your patience and ability to give us such a great experience of enjoying English without learning it. It's one of the best ways to maintain the language. Thank you so much for your efforts, Luk.

  • @toomasvendelin
    @toomasvendelin Před 4 měsíci +1

    I was taught a ridiculous Soviet dialect of English at school - I'm old enough, you see. Later, while doing my compulsory military service in the 80-s, I've decided to learn English properly, and did it reading Sherlock Holmes stories, grinding through a page or two in a day. The method was to write out every word, and look its meaning up in a pocket dictionary according to the context. The key point was to write such words out no matter how many times I stumbled upon them, but, apart from that, spend no effort memorizing them. This way, the words I wrote more often were automatically given the higher priority, and so were the subtleties of each of them.
    I think I speak a decent English nowadays, so I have no idea why this video was suggested to me by CZcams. But I really enjoyed listening to "The Red-Headed League" story, despite knowing almost by heart. Thank you!

    I am a conference interpreter for French and German and lived in Paris for a long time. Now I would love to book an English course in Paris so that what I always say comes true: "Luke, my English teacher!" I have also already "infected" my sweetheart! Merci beaucoup et bonne continuation et tout le bonheur pour toi et ta petite famille !

I suppose, the video version is much more exciting than the podcast version, because your face expression makes the story telling more thrilling and captivating!

    I feel like my storytelling skills have improved a lot😊, since this time I guessed right from the start what was going to happen. I remember well my teen self being frustrated by how wrong my assumptions were any time I was reading those mystery tales. Fortunately, I don't retain anything plot wise about these readings, then I can't spoil my enjoyment! And now I repeated to myself "If it were me...if it were me..." and it played out as if I was writing it myself😂 Adulthood is scary at times, isn't it?
