Fantastic! Chị Thanh is a wonderful instructor. She is very prepared and provides helpful examples and context for what you are learning. She will make sure your pronunciation is spot-on to ensure success in Vietnamese. Most importantly, the lessons are fun!!I would highly recommend.

As an overseas Vietnamese (Viet Kieu) I've been trying to reconnect with my family heritage and culture by learning Vietnamese for the past few years. I've taken group beginners classes in the past and only recently started having 1:1 lessons on iTalki. Thanh is easily one of the best language teachers I've ever had (and I've had lessons for French too)! Chị Thanh's lessons are suited to your needs which was really important for me as someone with a basic understanding of Vietnamese but did not want to keep going over beginners content again. Chị Thanh is always very encouraging and makes lessons fun and engaging - this helped me a lot because I worry about making mistakes with pronunciation. I always come out of the lesson feeling like I've learned so much and am closer to reaching my language learning goals (being able to speak confidently to my family in Vietnam). I hope you enjoy your Vietnamese classes as much as I do. Thank you Chị Thanh!

Thanh Thanh is an exceptional Teacher. She is gifted in the ability to guide a student in the task of successfully attaining the ability, to pronounce Vietnamese to satisfaction . From my experience with her so far, I feel more confident in approaching the task of being properly understood in Vietnamese. Yes, grammar is important. But if you are not able to have the listener recognize what you are saying, then the battle is lost. I feel like I'm winning having Thanh Thanh as an instructor. And I look forward to more informative and productive sessions with her.

So far I've taken several lessons with Thanh. She is a teacher that takes a very hands-on approach to ensure you get the Vietnamese tonal system (southern accent), with a deep emphasis on the mechanics on how your mouth and/or tongue should be positioned in relation with certain vowels. Thanh has been not only an educator but she is also a great encourager. Thanh has helped me improve my pronunciation and sometimes has enough flexibility to pivot the lesson plan to what I'm learning through outside material. Furthermore, she has demonstrated flexibility in her lesson plans to not only include vocabulary but also culture, cuisine, ethnicities, history, the nuances between the Vietnamese dialects, and much more. Even though I'm still a beginner, I'm confident that she will help me progress further with the language. Cảm ơn em.

I had such an amazing first lesson! We covered so much material , and I learned many new words. Looking forward to our next one!

Chi Thanh makes learning really fun and was always happy to answer any questions during lesson (even if I constantly interrupted to ask questions:) ) I appreciate her use of visuals/screen sharing to break down words and sentences. She made the lesson really fun by having the topics relate to everyday and your background. Looking forward to book another lesson!!
