  • Learn English with another short story. I'll read the entire story to you, and then go through the text again explaining and clarifying the main events and plenty of vocabulary. This is a wonderful adventure story written by HG Wells, a very influential and imaginative English writer from the late 19th century. The story is full of vivid descriptive language, action, adventure and extraordinary moments. I hope it captures your imagination and lets the English come alive in memorable ways.

    Hi Luke, I have been listening to your podcasts for years. Sometimes I don't even pay attention to what you say, I just play the podcast and go to sleep as I love your tone of voice. I wanted to unsubscribe LED for months, as due to my personal reasons I had to cut costs of living however you have replied to my email asking for a help on how to unsubscribe in such a nice and polite manner. You have provided me correct details I should use to login to my account. It blew my mind, honestly. Thank you so much for being such an amazing person. I have tears in my eyes, that's why though to leave you comment on yt. THANK YOU LUKE!

    It took me the whole week to listen to the end, I fell asleep each half an hour while listening)), that didn't happen because the episode was uninteresting but because of my tiredness after work and your pleasant peaceful voice). Finally, I managed to go to the end of the episode at the weekend. The story was really touching..Thank you very much! I learn a lot and also have much fun and joy listening to your podcasts . Yours faithfully , Olga from Russia.😊
