Foreign you're listening to Luke's English podcast.
For more information, visit teacherluke.co.uk hello listeners, and welcome to this end of year rambling episode on Luke's English podcast, Season's Greetings, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
I recorded most of this episode that you're going to hear now a few days ago, and I'm just coming back to it now a few days later to add this introduction and a few other little bits in this episode.
You can hear me rambling about these things.
So some good wishes from me to you for the seasonal holiday period at Christmas time.
Some news and updates about the podcast, including some comments about recent episodes, some responses from listeners to recent episodes, and what you can expect from this podcast over the next few weeks.
I'm going to tell you a couple of anecdotes about seeing Paul McCartney live in concert, recently visiting London and also playing a concert myself at the British Ambassador's residence in Paris in a big fancy room.
There's going to be a section of this episode later with about 14 jokes and their explanations, so some joke dissection later in the episode.
And also at the end there will be a vocabulary review with various bits of vocabulary from the episode summarized and explained briefly.
And there'll also be a vocabulary quiz which you can get on the PDF.
So check the description for this episode for a PDF with jokes, with the jokes that I'll be reading out, some of those listener comments, and a vocabulary list for your reference and also a vocabulary quiz so you can sort of check that you've learned and understood a lot of the words that I'll be explaining later.
So all of that rambling is going to start in just a moment, but first I would like to make a request to you right at the start of the episode here I'd like to make a request for your help with an upcoming episode, episode number 916, which will be the first episode of 2025.
I would like some help from you with this one.
So in January I always like to do an episode with advice about learning English and how my podcast can help.
This is important, I think, to establish the aims of the podcast in the new year and to give listeners, including new listeners, plenty of good advice for Learning English in 2025 to start the year in a good, positive way.
And so that will be the theme of episode 916, the first episode of 2025.
That's going to be the I want your help this time.
I want your input for this one.
So this is my Request from me to you, Please write to me, send me your comments, messages, emails.
Okay.
