Very nice to be talking to you again in another episode.
And it's story time in this one.
I I've got a PDF ready which you can download from the episode description or show notes.
Wherever you're listening to this, let's have a look at that PDF right now.
You don't need to follow the PDF with me, you can just enjoy listening if you prefer.
But the PDF is available for you and I'm going to start working from it right now.
So here we go.
So Learn English with a Sherlock Holmes Story hello listeners, back by popular demand, here's another episode of of Learn English With a Sherlock Holmes Story on Luke's English Podcast.
My aim with this episode is simply to let you enjoy a classic Sherlock Holmes mystery story in English in the original text.
This time I'm going to read the Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle, written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and originally published in strand magazine in 1892.
It's available in the collection of stories called the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, which is available from any good bookshop.
Depending on your level of English, it might be quite difficult to understand everything in this story the first time you hear it.
This is because the English here is fairly old fashioned and complex, so this might be difficult.
I'll help you during the story, but if you find it difficult to follow at any point, I would like to encourage you to persevere, meaning keep listening, even if there are moments when you don't understand what's happening or there are specific words which you can't understand.
Persevere, keep listening because I will explain things, but also it's just good practice to carry on even when you don't understand everything 100%.
Try to work out what's happening and try to tolerate a certain amount of confusion to help you.
What I will do is this.
