Hello, 

I hope your summer is bright and wonderful. 

This is just a message about something I've already told most of you.

Due to my crazy work schedule, I have made the difficult decision to stop teaching on Cafetalk. I have loved every moment and am so thankful for you all. I've said it once, but I'll say it again: my students are the best! 

I feel so lucky to have met you and heard your stories, ideas and opinions. You keep me in touch with Japan, a country very dear to my heart.

I hope that I can return to Cafetalk in a few months. But, for now, I'll say sayonara. 
 
Warmest regards,

Ruth
