If you have never learned Vietnamese before or only know a little Vietnamese, this is the place for you. I will teach you the Vietnamese alphabet and pronunciation system, the basic grammar, sentence structure, and word order in Vietnamese as well as some survival phrases. I will make comparisons with English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and French if you have already studied those languages to accelerate your study process.

💼 Business Vietnamese - How to Start and Do Business in Vietnam

All levels are welcome if you want to have a relaxed conversation, something similar to a coffee chat between two friends, to improve your English fluency. However, if you are Vietnamese and Chinese native speakers with intermediate to upper-intermediate levels, I will be a great help as I understand the differences among Vietnamese, Chinese, and English. 

During our conversation, I will take notes on anything you're struggling with, and give you feedback at regular intervals. I will also summarize your most noticeable and systematic mistakes and recommend the relevant exercises/homework to fix them at the end of or after the lesson.

The conversation will be conducted mainly in English, but I can also speak Mandarin Chinese and Vietnamese in case we need shortcuts or clarifications.
