こんなに楽しいとは思っていませんでした。
学生の時に、りあ先生のような先生が教えてくれたら、古文アレルギーにもならなかったのに。
自分オリジナルの枕草子を作るのも、とても楽しいですし、なによりもりあ先生とのやりとりが、とっても楽しい時間となっています。日本人の方々に大推薦したいレッスンです(^^♪

Tutor Comment First of all, I would like to thank the Cafetalk management team for organizing this project. As a Cafetalk instructor, I have realized that it is not just the instructor that helps the students. All of my students are helping me to grow as well. The amount of knowledge and experience that each student possesses never ceases to amaze me. I cannot believe how far I have come. But I must always remain humble. This is just one stepping stone to the beginning of my long teaching career. I have the best students in the world. Thank you very much!

Tutor Comment Thank you very much for choosing me for the Cafetalk Awards Grand Prize. I'm simply amazed and thrilled at the honor bestowed upon me. I know it's still difficult for my students to travel to Korea, but I am always inspired by your positive attitude toward learning Korean regardless. I hope that you will be able to come to Korea and experience the excitement of being able to communicate in the Korean language that we have learned together! With these thoughts and the warm words that I always receive from my students on my mind, I will continue to strive to provide even better lessons.

2022 Cafetalk Spring / Summer Lesson Awards: Hall of Fame Tutors
![](/resources/images/campaign/vote/hallofFame.png)
Past Hall of Fame!
What is the Hall of Fame?
Tutors who have won an award in the Cafetalk Awesome Lesson Awards at least 4 times (between June 2014 and June 2022) will be added to the Hall of Fame. Students will still be able to vote for these tutors in the next awards, but they won't receive any additional awards.
Data Based Awards
In addition to the vote-based awards this time we are happy to announce a new type of awards, which are based not on student votes but on data accumulated over the past 6 months. Tutors who have already won four or more student vote based awards are still able to win a data based award.
Online Seminar Award
Repeater Award
Online Standby Award
Tutor Column Award
*Please note that student feedback is subjective.

Tutor Comment I am very honored to receive this award. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the students and staff who have supported and cheered me on during this first half of the year, which has been filled with new challenges such as holding seminars ♥•ᴥ•♥ This during these 6 months I have had some inspiring moments when I received comments from students saying that through the lessons they have been able to expand their repertoire. I hope to continue to offer lessons that will gently light a fire in your intellectual curiosity. See you again in the lessons!
