Dear Cafetalk Students,
I hope this message finds you all in good spirits and high energy!
As I write this message, I find myself in awe having reached 10,000 lessons over the past nine-plus years. I couldn't have done it without you. As we continue to navigate through our days on Cafetalk, I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt appreciation for each and every one of you. Your enthusiasm, curiosity, and dedication have truly made our time together memorable. Whether it's the lively discussions we have had, the collaborative projects we've worked on together, or the laughter echoing through our speakers, you all contribute to the vibrant spirit of our community. Thank you for showing up, for sharing your thoughts and ideas with me, and for supporting me through the years! Your commitment to learning and growth inspires me daily. Together, we've "brewed up" a delightful blend of knowledge, friendship, and shared experiences. Remember that learning is not just about textbooks and exams; it's about embracing the journey, savoring the flavors of discovery, and celebrating the little victories along the way. So keep sipping from the cup of knowledge, and let your passion steep into everything you do. As we continue this caffeinated adventure, know that you are valued, cherished, and appreciated. May your days be filled with warmth, kindness, and the joy of learning. With heartfelt gratitude,
Greg

I know I should improve my English skills more, but it's also good to tell something in my mind without thinking whether my English is correct or not. : ) When I speak another language, I feel like I've got another personality more or less. Me speaking in English and me speaking in Mandarin are not the same as me speaking in Japanese. It's very nice because even when I get too shy to tell something in my native language, I can do it in another language. I think it's because me in new language is more flexible like a child. So, I can tell there's no lie when I talk to Greg in English...unless I mistakenly use some words.
