Hi my name is Lien and I’m 28 years old. I was born and raised in Germany but my parents are Vietnamese. I’ve bin living in Vietnam for two months now and one of my personal goals is to improve my Vietnamese language skills and to get to know my culture better.
I studied linguistics, specialising mainly in German studies and partially in English studies. During my studies, I “dabbled” in many languages like Chinese, Spanish, Turkish,… so I know exactly what it’s like to learn a new language as an adult.
Me as a Teacher
I am naturally very detail-oriented and can pay more attention to specific things upon request. At the same time, I understand that being overly critical of mistakes may not be very helpful. Depending on the level, I will adjust accordingly. I would describe myself as a very patient, attentive, open, and casual tutor.
My lessons & teaching style
My main goal is to motivate my students to speak freely and not be afraid of making mistakes. Although I have Vietnamese roots, my Vietnamese is not perfect. Since I've been in Vietnam, I've noticed that I lack many vocabulary words and sometimes feel uncomfortable when speaking with locals.
I would like to help you eliminate this in class. Speaking, in my opinion, is the key to mastering a language. I'd say my teaching style is more casual than formal.

Ich fühle mich jetzt viel selbstbewusster beim Sprechen allmählich. Danke schön!

I had a really great first lesson with Lien who helped me revive my dusty German and provided a fun space to chat about a variety of topics which helped get some conversation practice in - danke Lien!

Lien was incredibly helpful in correcting my mistakes. She asked about my expectations for the lesson and how she could best assist me. The conversation flowed smoothly, and she posed insightful questions that encouraged me to speak more.

Es gefällt mir sehr gut, dass man sich im Unterricht mit Lien von der Hektik des Lebens beruhigen und in einer komfortablen Umgebung die deutsche Sprache üben kann. Viel cooler und effizienter als an der Universitä!
