Dear Cafetalk Community!

I'm so happy to announce that I surpassed 7,000 lessons! Thank you so much for everyone who took my lessons! I appreciate you trying out my lesson and for continuing to take my lessons. I want to "thank" each and every one of my students! I'm so excited that I went from 6,000 lessons to 7,000 lessons within a few months.

For every student, I try to do my best in each and every lesson. I try to make you feel comfortable so that you can speak English freely without any stress. I think it's better if you're relaxed in order to absorb new information. Also, I try to come up with new ideas to teach English. Please take a look at my list of lessons to see if any of them sound interesting to you!

I believe in a well-rounded education including speaking, listening, reading, writing, and vocabulary. I have lessons for each discipline. If you take the lessons alternately, you will be able to cover all the English language skills.

Naturally, the more you practice your English skills, the more proficient you will become. Speaking English frequently even for a short time will help you dramatically improve your English proficiency. Also, listening to podcasts will improve your listening skills. I have listed a few below for you to try. I hope to see you soon in one of my lessons!
