Learning Vietnamese is not only for those who plan to live in Vietnam. Even you are here for just a few days, it is still good to get to know a new aspect of Vietnamese culture, just like eating a new food or seeing a new place. This experience will take you to an absolutely new world - the Vietnamese language! I can teach you some basic and useful Vietnamese expressions. 

First, we can meet up at a lovely Vietnamese-style coffee shop for a theory lesson. I will introduce you Vietnamese alphabet and tones (which is the most difficult), basic greetings, numbers, money, shopping and having meals in restaurants. Through teaching the language, I will explain some culture tips that you should know while in Vietnam, in terms of connecting with locals. Then we will practice in real situations! I will take you to a local market that sells everything from clothes, shoes to street food, fruit. Here, you have the chance to practice speaking Vietnamese to the locals: greetings, ordering, asking for price and bills, paying. You will pay for what you eat or buy to practice asking and paying money. Please note that when the class is conducted in the evening, the local market will be closed already so we can go to the shops instead.
