Hello, welcome to Luke's English podcast. It's an absolute pleasure to be talking to you again.

And I'm for some reason speaking in this kind of way I don't really know what this

intonation or rhythm pattern is that I'm using it's something related to being

like a kind of presenter character. I think that on the news or on the radio

they sometimes speak like this that's why I'm doing it. It could also be because I've had a little bit too much

coffee and that's made me do it because I don't normally drink coffee. You see I

normally drink tea and so if I have a bit too much coffee it kind of makes me start to speak as if I'm a TV presenter on a very serious television program

But I'm not going to keep speaking like that. I'm going to be normal, okay? So this is me being normal now.

Okay, so in this episode I'm going to tell you all about my first impressions of life in Paris.

Some of this episode is transcribed, you'll be glad to know.

You can read a transcript to some of this.

If you go to the website which is teacher luke.podomatic.com

you can find the transcript there you can read it if you want to

you can sort of read it and listen to me while you can sort of read it while you're listening to me

that might help you can just read it if you want to if you don't if you can't

stand the sound of my voice anymore then you can just read it or you can't stand the sound of my voice anymore, then you can just read it.

Or you can just ignore the transcript completely and just listen.

It's up to you, it's your choice.

I'm just giving you a little bit of extra freedom to decide how you want to live your life and how you want to deal with another episode of Luke's English podcast.

So some of this is transcribed, some of it's not, you'll hear me kind of speaking off the top of my head as it were.
