安東尼國際魔術大型情境魔幻秀！！ kzhead.info/sun/qM-GmLCDsZSiZJ8/bejne.html
i'm a native english speaker and i thought he said the woman was "8 years old." makes a lot more sense now.
Wonderful, I stoped the vedio more than three times to try to undrestand mr. Karl, but I totally failed to undrestand. Thank you so much Luke, actually many people would not undrestand without your help.
I’m addicted to your podcast. Thank you so much, Luke.
I’ve subscribed his premium membership as well, and it’s so funny too 🤣
It's a big gift to discover your channel Greetings from Algeria
Brilliant ! Perfect ! I love this kind of episodes. Can't wait for the second part 👏
Now I I understand why it was so interesting to read “An idiot abroad’ and so disappointing to watch Idiot abroad cast!! I couldn’t get Karl’s Pilkington’s Manchester accent! Your podcast was amazing discovery for me. Thank you and best wishes 💝
I've been living in Manchester for few years now so my ears are used to the accent. But I laughed a lot by the speech of this guy 😂😂😂
Big bang isn't actually big just because there is no noise to drown it out XD I am dead. I mean the bang has to be immeasurably larger than even the sun.
How I love YOUR English, Luke ! 😆😆🇦🇷🏴🇬🇧
This episode is simply....priceless. Thank you very much, Luke. You are such a good teacher. Kudos, Luke 🏆 Warm regards from Argentina 🇦🇷
Fantastic episode Luke!!! Hilarious. Your explanations awesome as always. From my humble opinion you should do more like that, it's not an imposition only a suggestion. Thanks a lot , you're the best not just because you did that for free but because it's true. All the best.
Your approach to handle this difficult field as the understandig of different accents is Now perfect and enjoyable. Furthemore, I completely agree with Karl that too many things in museums spoil the main Point of them. i was so happy to Hear HIM say that. i also think that it is important to follow common Sense and moderation above all that commercials and ads. This is quite an interesting and challinging episode.thanks a lot.
Hi thank u so much l am from kurdistan and l listen to u everyday l am so happy that l understand what you say and get benefit a lot
An interesting specimen of folk urban culture this “Karl”! Your video, Luke, as most of the times, a chef d’oeuvre! This time, of “Listening Practice”. Thanks a ton!
Hi Luke, thank you for everything that you're doing for English learners! I feel so lucky that one day I've found your channel on KZhead and now am having the chance to enjoy the natural speech along with practicing my vocabulary and listening skills. Your podcasts are absolutely fascinating, capturing my attention every time you're releasing a new video. Regarding Karl Pilkington's comments, I find them very honest, a bit sarcastic and in some episodes revealing the truth of our society nowadays, something that worth bringing on the surface. People are never satisfied with what they have so they are making up new ways of entertaining themselves, sometimes those ways are just too much. Anyway, thank you so much for your work and efforts, we all are very appreciative out there. Look forward to seeing new videos!
This one is literally awesome!!!!! Thanks a lot for coming up with it！♥
Hello from ChiangMai Thailand ...Luke : Thank you for your hard work !!!
I find it hilarious that we non-natives need a native speaker to "translate" what another native speaker is saying, that's the beauty (and the cursed part) of accents :)
Really helpful and funny like always. Love your podcasts, dear Luke. 💙
Really love these accent episodes👌👌. Thank you Luke🙌
Thank you for explanations! ❤️
I love the way that I can lean vocabulary in a real context while improving my listening and reading comprehension 🍎 it doesn’t matter what kind of accent’ , both British and American English are the best/ popular 🍎 thank Teacher Luke so much for being our excellent number one teacher 🍎🙏
I simply loved your episod I did learn a great deal of English today. I particular paid closer attention to the differences between Brittish regional accents; it was releiving to learn there is a guide or pathway se can follow to understand spoken English. And the vocab is highly educational for me. Keep up doing these podcasts. Thank you. God bless hoy!
Thank you so much, it's really helpful.
52:36 when I was listening this my washing machine also beeped 🤣🤣🤣
A big thumb's up for you & for this stunning episode... You are absolutely fantastic in your presentation..
Thanks for this yet another delightful podcast Luke! I really enjoyed being exposed to this wonderful sort of variety in English. Manchester accent looks cool. And your explanation made it all the more interesting and enjoyable. Thanks!
I was listened this episode when I was in the gym yesterday. I like it Even I know the way Karl's talk is very...very hard to understand and can get easy to misunderstand it. but love it. 😁
Es el mejor profesor de inglés!!! Excelente....
Hello Luke, as always, this was an amazing episode. The best of listening your podcast is that you never gonna be boring, it's a very fun way to learn. I would like to hear you talking with Ali, from Papa teach me, I think that you both have the same sense of humor. Thanks for all that you do.
Sorry, I don't even know if you have heard or if you know Ali. He is an English teacher on KZhead.
Please more of Karl :) Really lovely :)
I enjoyed it and i couldnt sleep a wink last night till its finished. Thank you for your clear voice and pronounciation also its always great to see ur face during the episode, i learn alot from ur face expressions. Thank you ❤️
Great as always
Hello, master Luke! We adore your superb podcast! Thank you very much for your youtube channel! We are happy to see and hear you here.
Spent time with benefit and pleasure, thank you!🙂👌🔥
Amazing Luke, well done
This episode that I listened to before watching the video was a fantastic experience, because I found so clear your explanations about this different accent. Only at the end did I realize that I was listening to you who has been spoken English all the time, but it was as if I was listening to my language. It is so exciting for me, that in march of this year I was not able to understand even children stories in English. I am not so smart, it is just I think that this kind of podcast is really useful, because our brain focuses on a more difficult level of comprehention and flows in some road where the every known part of the foreign languague becomes natural. I really think this mechanism could be effective for many people. Thank you very very much
Amazing!!! Thx for ur effort
Hi, Luke I'm Nokky from Thailand. Great to found you and listen to your Podcast: It very helpful, I love the way you talk and teaching and so on. So far, You're number 1 Podcast as I like to listening to. :) 😁
It was such a good episode i enjoyed whole episode without getting bored.😍
Maravilloso!!!👌👌👌
I came across this episode and I found it really useful and interesting.
Thank you very much for your explanation.It’s very useful.
Yess I love Karl pilkington thank you so much for doing this I love it so much haha
Hi sir Luke i love your podcast 👍
Wow an another amazing clip!
The best podcast ever!
I find this episode very helpful! Getting to know the details of the accent is really useful. In fact, I think this episode will help me to better understand my colleagues from Manchester 🙂. Also, I have to say since I discovered your podcast a few months ago I have become addicted to it (yes, I have been a ninja all this time 😂). I find it very nice, enjoyable and I feel my English improving. So glad that I have found you. Looking forward to next part 2. PS. I have no interest at all for Karl's opinions/thoughts, but it is helpfulto get to know people who are or have been in the public eye, as cultural references to them appear in conversations with locals or those who have been in the UK for a while.
Do you think it’s his opinions? I have an impression that he’s rather acting as a standup comedian just not on stage and sounds really funny
Great video Luke! I'm living 50 miles from Manchester and people here have also a different accent. There is someone similarity to Karl's but it's Yorkshire accent here. That would be nice if you do video about a weird Barnsley slang. 😉 I know a few words from my colleagues, but still have problem to understand them sometimes 😅
Thank you so much Luke
Great job!!!
I like Karl’s philosophy about everything. Sounds like from child’s mouth the truth comes. Very funny and interesting 🤨
thanks luke
You’re my favourite podcast .
You sir are a legend!
Just call it a day, impresive Luke, if it wasent for your helping hand i wouldnt be able to undertand Karl, let alone his humour... karl just a small little question, how big would the octopuss be ? coz from where i am we do eat octopuss, not alive but even thought just to get chocked with his legs aroung your neck it should be a big piece, do you eat the whole thing at once??? 😂😂😂 OMG that,s impossible. Hilarious anyway, and Luke a very good way to learn new vocabulary . Looking forward to the second part. Cheers
Huhuh 'with legs around neck' There's a version that guys give 'em the muscle relaxant or lots of beer or stuff and then are eating 'em alive
Beautiful Mr. Luke!
I like Karl's accent.And also yours,Luke🤓.
I like this episode which works on the listening
Great job Luke 👍🏻
Wonderful 😊
Thank yooooou sooo much luke i love you so much
Thank you vers much.
I don't know why I've always loved Karl's accent, even though I don't get it 100%, to me it's so funny. I was just looking for someone to explain it to me. I also love Diane Morgan's accent, who apparently is from Manchester too (Bolton), but her accent seems a bit different. Anyway, this is very useful!
You used to be nervous in front of camera, now you look more relax.Keep up the good work
Karl is king!!
I really enjoy videos about accents! Thank you, Luke! What do you think about US-UK show Ted Lasso? Have you seen it? There are many things about accents!
I didn't get more than 10 % from Karl, but, by the way, if someone will start to talk with me about such deep topics in Russian, I'm not quite sure that I will strictly follow it either 😅. And big thanks for the podcast, Luke !
Excelente! El hígado hace otras cosas, participa en la digestión
Thanks
If I could read a script I could understand everything he said but have a hard time understanding the words he actually spoke. I will move to Manchester in a few months. Hope I can communicate with the locals and make friends at least lol No issues with RP. You spoke with great clarity.
Hey Luke, I hope you’re well. Even though I’m a native English speaker, my interest for British English regional accents has peaked over the past two-three years. Your videos on Manchester’s Accent are informative and I was wondering if you could give precise time intervals where Karl Pilkington structures the following sentences Look, how many do you need? I’m not surprised they went extinct, they’re all in here. She’d had a new lung, a new heart He puts his hand in and goes “Yep, it’s broke” They weren’t doing anything. They weren’t jumping through hoops. I know if it’s cruel or not, to have them in there. I’m 32, I think I’ve got the hang of it. I’ll have a look at the meteorites. If you’re going to eat a live animal, don’t eat one that’s got eight arms that can get hold of your neck. Let me see them again when they’re better. What’s he going on about now? If there were dinosaurs about now and that. If we’ve run out we need to go outside and get some more. You’re not supposed to eat them alive. We’ve got to stay inside if we want to survive. If they were running about fighting and dying and that. Running riot (sounds like “roonin raiyut”) In all these phrases, he applies many of Manchester’s phonological features.
This Ninja is the first here !!
I’m not the first but not the last I think 😃
What kind of fella is Karl Pilkington 😃 His reflections are quite interesting and ironic, a funny and wacky way of interpreting things that might also make sense somehow (even though I only managed 30% of what he said without your help ☺). Speaking of nature and extinctions, I think it is not right and indeed wrong to interfere with Nature unless....unless interfering means repairing the damage we have caused with our selfishness and arrogance (as for pandas, for example). Thank you very much Luke, I really enjoyed this video lesson which confirms, once again, what a talented and genial Teacher you are 🖖, so I'm ready for the second part 👍
Octopuses are fine, a very special dish...! very very good
Good evening I want to say thank you I become a good student and your channel helps me in my exams , I hope happiness accompanies you wherever you go😩💖.
Part 2 pl 🙏
Difficult accent but very funny guy 👏👏👏👏 Thanks
I found it very interesting and funny
The very accent is interesting, but the pitch of Karl's voice, alas, seems rather dull and unimpressive. But the total episode is pepped up by brilliant Luke's explanations. Sorry for sounding a bit at a tangent, but I think more interesting samples of Mancunian accent can be found in TV shows "Life on Mars" and "Ashes to Ashes" with Philip Glenister and John Simm, or in "Mad Dogs". And one more funny accent - what do you think, Luke, about clips of Al Murray's show? Unfortunately the automatic transcription in youtube fails doing them well. Al Murray now is a partner with James Holland in a splendid podcast "We Have Ways of Making You Talk".
Замечательно. я понимаю вас, а Карла после вашего разъяснения
Вы знаете, есть канал на ютубе, называется Кирил’s изи инглиш. Конечно, все на английском, имею в виду название. Если не знакомы, то посмотрите. Может, понравится.
We want videos about Shakespeare or Dostoevsky novels.
And I want you to address with a proper request:”Luke, could you do podcasts on …, please?”
Thank you, Luke. Karl's accent is quite hard to me to understand, I need subtitles. But I don't even understand local italian accents, you know. :)
Karl is very funny 😂
Yes, octopus can choke you. See, for example, wiki, the article "San-nakji". So chew them well or never.
❤
Yes, he has opinions
Carry on
Now I feels like mummy and dad are rebirth of Tony and me
Karl's thoughts are rather interesting. His accent is a challenge for me.
If you listen to Luke’s podcasts you can understand easily. He gives some clues what is what on many kinds of accents.
I have no idea totally what he's saying....thanks for explanation..haha
Luke: 'We're eating octopus Why are dogs getting away with it?' me: Why the hell are People getting away with it?' I mean ...maybe...they just ain't going too far
I think he is right
Do you have these videos on an Android app ?
There’s a KZhead app on Android.
i like it before started listening but i dont understand nothing ) (i mean those guy from Manchester)
Wow gorgeous
im just watching this to try and nail down a manchester accent
What does pander mean?)
You are bit speed reader teacher !
Looks like that I know nothing in english when I listening the Pilkington's accent. It's so frustrating. 😭
