   This is emotional story. That is amazing how the writer hides in the story that is over man or woman, just one time, she mentioned that it is over a mom. I noticed when her children compared her with father.

8. I Love you Luke

11. It isn't an interesting story. Probably, it didn't match with my taste. Anyway, thanks for your story telling. I'm learning English, it could help me learning some words from your videos.

12. I hope all your videos are presented with this style, with this treatment of vocabulary. I don't feel good when I have to stop the video to use the dictionary; so thank you, if you keep the style of this video. The best thing about Luke is the presentation of the vocabulary.

    Below, there are some hints for russians:
    22:07 As the fourth of five she had a lot to deal with before she could get to me.
    – Т.к. я была четвертой из пяти, ей пришлось многое сделать, прежде чем она смогла добраться до меня.

    siblings – братья и сёстры
    to shrug – пожать плечами.

    26:26 I just gritted my teeth and hopped along. – … and "jump" aĺong ? 🙂 first I thought it sounds like "I just gritted my teeth and jump along". But I found the meaning: "I was moving hopping along" – Я просто стиснула зубы и передвигалась подпрыгивая.
    So, luckily she's not a masochist. 🙂
    28:17 a cripple – калека
    29:05 my little sister Sofia was getting picked on by some boys.
    – к моей младшей сестре Софии приставали какие-то мальчики.
    30:28 I switched out her too-small uniform skirt for mine. – Я заменила ее слишком маленькую школьную юбку своей.
    33:45 When I got catcalled wolking across campus. – Когда меня оскорбили, во время прогулки по кампусу.
    38:25 …shoving money at me. – …тыкая в меня деньгами.
    38:49 …take the goddamn money. – …забери эти чёртовы деньги.
    41:22 stunned – ошеломлённый
    43:00 sneak into – залезать крадучись в…
    45:32 jerk – придурок
    46:51 to freak out – взбесить
    48:20 If you didn't take out the trash like you said you would.
    48:55 When you noticed I'd done your chores, you felt so bad that you'd do some of mine to make it up. – Когда ты заметил, что я сделала твою работу по дому, тебе стало так плохо, что ты сделал кое-что из моей, чтобы загладить свою вину..
    51:44 And eventually they'd cave – И в конце концов они сдались
    53:34 outbursts – вспышки гнева
    53:51 sobbing – рыдая
    55:19 you deserve better mi amor – ты заслуживаешь лучшего, любовь моя.
    56:52 serene – безмятежные
    57:39 are the deadliest – являются самыми смертоносными

36. I like this way of teaching. I think that Algebra is the name of the professor.

37. Thank you for the video. It's very interesting. The protagonist is really female, because her child told her, she'd like yelling like dad did. So the protagonist was mom 🙂 <3
