About this episode

How many words are there in English? How many do you really need to know? And how many words have I spoken on this podcast? ๐Ÿง Also, what is shadowing, and how should you do it? Can you do episodes about different English accents? What are your top 10 countries for this podcast? In this episode of Lukeโ€™s English Podcast, I answer listener questions about vocabulary size, English accents, the shadowing technique and more. PDF available with transcript and vocabulary list.
