Luke Likes 'Four Seasons'

And so for today I have seasons. The weather, a very emotional, emotional topic. Intriguing topic, very. The weather, the weather. And why? If you want to, if you want to complain, complain about something, here you are - complain about the weather, complain about the weather. I'm not going to, I'm not going to do that. Just a little bit maybe, just a little bit.

Alright, so imagine that, imagine that. I wake up today, I wake up today. I go out in the morning, I go out in the morning and I tell myself, I tell myself 'where is my car? Where is, where is my car? I can't see it, I can't see my car. Where is it? Well, there it is, there, there it is, there it is, over here. There it is, under that big, white, soft pile of snow, snow, oh. A lot, a lot of snow. All white, all white.

Because it's winter time, it's winter time. Not in calendar, but outside, outside. A lot of snow, big surprise for everyone, for everyone. And for me too, so this is winter. It's cold and snowy, but a little bad, but a little bad part is that, is that the days are so, so short, so short. And the night and the evening are so long. I can't see the sun, I can't see the sun. All day long, all day long, I can't see the sun, and that's not so good. So winter time. Thank God, thank God,we have Christmas coming, we have Christmas coming.

After that, after that, the spring. Around March, April, March, April, it is much better. It is much better, and a lot more, a lot more sun, a lot more light, and the days are not so short. So it is warm, but not hot. Rainy from time to time, that is spring. And the best part is when the plants start blooming, blooming, yeah, it is wonderful, wonderful, over here.

The summer time is full of sun, the summer time is full of sun, long, long days, hot, hot days, and warm nights and evenings as well. So people hang out, outside, hang out outside much longer, much longer, and it is a lot, a lot of fun, a lot of fun.

Finally, my favourite autumn, or fall, autumn, fall, around September, autumn, fall. It is also, it is also wonderful, wonderful, because it has all those colours, all those colours - brown, red and yellow. It looks just like a picture, like a picture.

The days are not as short as in winter, and it is not as hot as in the summer, so everyone, everyone should be happy about this, everyone should be happy. I'm not sure, I am not sure, if they are actually, if they are actually, but me, I love that season.

Four seasons, I have to say, I have to say that all seasons have something to offer. Well, maybe November is really, really tough, really tough over here. But I'm not complaining, not complaining at all, not.

Well, it's your turn now. Embrace the day, people!

Luke Likes 'Language Every Day'

So Luke likes languages and Luke likes his day. He starts, he starts the day and language learning and language teaching is a big part, is a big part of everyday, everyday.

So he wakes up, he wakes up at 7am in the morning, 7am. Well, a little past 7, maybe 10 past 7, and he does some morning exercise, morning exercise. Stretching, stretching exercise. That's very, very important, very. That's grandma's order, grandma's recommendation.

And then he gets dressed, gets dressed. He never skips breakfast, never. So he has breakfast every day, oatmeal with nuts, fruit and things like that. Very light breakfast, very tasty, very tasty. This is the perfect, perfect time to revise, revise some language, revise some language.

He doesn't, he does not, he doesn't, he doesn't have time for coffee or tea because he leaves home, he leaves home and quickly jumps, he jumps into his car, into his car and on his way, on his way he listens to podcasts, conversations because it's a perfect situation for languages, perfect situation to listen, to listen and understand, understand.

Then lessons, he starts his lessons at 8, at 8am, at 8am every day. That's so early for me. At 8am. He has classes with his students, classes with his students, then a break, a short coffee break, around 10, 11. Then some more lessons. He has lunch and this is also some time for language, learning and preparing, preparing some classes later in the day.

He comes back to work at around 3pm and he has some more work to do. So he works with his students, he works with his students Sometimes he is very proud, he is very proud and his mood, his mood is up. But sometimes, not often, sometimes, from time to time, not often, sometimes his mood is really, really down because his students don't do the work, don't do the work, they don't study enough. That's bad.

Okay, anyway, anyway, anyway, around 6pm he has another short break, another short break for something to eat and also he has his evening green tea. Then after that the last, the last round of lessons, the last round of lessons at about 7pm. At about 7pm some more lessons with his students, sometimes good, sometimes not as good, and he finishes in the evening quite late, quite late.

He comes back, he comes back home at around 9, 10pm, 9, 10pm. But this is some fun time, fun time with languages, studying, listening, speaking and reading. A lot of fun but a little late, a little late.

In the evening, in the evening, he really likes playing some music and just before, just before he goes to sleep, he has five minute time to calm down and meditate a little, he meditates. Finally, finally he finishes the day at midnight, sometimes, well quite often really, around 1am. Yeah.

And tomorrow, tomorrow is a brand new day, a language everyday.

Well, it's your turn now. Embrace the day, people!

Luke Likes 'There Is'

I have a postcard, I have a postcard for you today. I have a postcard but the fun thing, the fun thing is that you are going to, you are going to make the postcard yourself, yourself. Try. So take a pencil and let's go, and let's go.

So there is a square, small square, small square in front of you. And this is actually a park, a park. Yeah, and the square is, well, not round. Tt's not a round square, it's a square square. So it is a square, meaning a park. Okay? Are you with me?

Alright. Around the square, there is, there is, there is, there is a street. Around the square. On the left, in front, on the right, and behind, everywhere, everywhere. There is a street, there is a street. It isn't very big, it isn't very big, but quite busy, quite busy. A lot of people, cars, and traffic.

And along this street, there are buildings, there are buildings. So on the left, there is a taxi, taxi rank . At the left top corner, at the left top corner, there is a small street, and you can see a church over there. It's quite old and very big, yeah.

And at the top right corner, there is a straight street, and there is a cinema. There is a cinema, a theatre, and cultural centre, cultural centre over there. And on the right, you go down the hill, you go down the hill, and there is a food market, food market.

Are you still with me? I know, I know, I know. It is very confusing. It is very confusing, but stay with me, stay with me. Yeah.

So there is a square, and in the middle, just in the middle of the square, there is a café. There is a café where you can buy ice cream, cakes, and wonderful, wonderful pistachio croissant. I really, really recommend it.

In front of the square, there is the main street, there is the main street. And if you, if you go right, you go down this street to the river, go to the river, and there is, there is a bridge.

On the left, there is a bus station, there is a bus station. There are a lot of people over there. It is a very busy place. And on the right, there is the river area, the river area. Small alleys, playgrounds, and places like that. It is very lively, it is very lively in the summer time, and also in the winter time.

And we are done, we are done.

So look carefully, look carefully at your picture, your postcard. So there is this place, there is this place in front of you, in your postcard. I'm sure it isn't perfect. There are many, many things you could do better, and maybe it doesn't look, doesn't look very nice, does it?

Because that's exactly, exactly my town, the postcards from my town, my imperfect town.

Well, it's your turn now. Embrace the day, people!
