    From the start, he made sure the pace was okay for me, so I felt super relaxed. The material was simple and clear, so it was really easy to follow. He gave helpful feedback and corrected my mistakes so naturally — I didn’t feel awkward at all. He also smiled a lot and shared some personal stories, which made the whole vibe feel so warm and friendly. Honestly, it was such a good class that I just wanted to keep talking.that made me want to speak more. 수업 시작 전에 선생님이 말하는 속도가 괜찮은지 먼저 확인해주셔서 마음이 편해졌어요. 수업 자료는 단순하지만 잘 정리되어 있어서 따라가기에 쉬웠고요. 제가 실수했을 때도 민망하지 않게 부드럽게 교정해주셔서 계속 집중할 수 있었어요.선생님이 본인의 이야기도 자연스럽게 해주시고, 따뜻하게 웃으셔서 분위기가 정말 편안했어요. 전체적으로 저를 격려해주는 수업이었고, 덕분에 더 말하고 싶어졌어요! ><
