👨🏫Learning Vietnamese is a courage-needed journey I will be a supportive and passionate tutor to you.
👩I will help you feel less stressed (with A.I help) when you want to learn how to pronounce Vietnamese and speak nearly like a native.
🔥At that time, you can answer by yourself some of the common questions like:
- Is Vietnamese hard to learn?
- Which level did I reach?
- What are Vietnamese accents?
😄 For example, if you wonder how to say no in Vietnamese, I'll tell you that you can say both to answer a no question. My lessons & teaching style
- My lessons and teaching style are tailored to your preferences. Due to individual needs, every lesson is different.
- You can discuss any topic you like. By asking and answering questions, I can help you learn a few things about Vietnamese naturally through my online guide.
- Furthermore, you can have preferences to practice at home to deepen your understanding. My teaching methods and materials vary from videos, current affairs, recordings, MS Word, music, books, and comics, you name it.
🤩 I can assure you that you will have a little of a Saigonian accent (or even can swear like a Saigonese). I can also be your food tour guide in HCM city if you want to.My teaching material

Chi's lessons are exactly what I was looking for. She goes at a perfect pace and makes sure your pronunciation is correct. I love that she includes tips and tricks for speaking in every day conversations and education on Vietnamese culture. I learn something new every session and making such quick progress with her!

Chi's teaching method is perfect for me, and I have pretty high standards 😅. She is helping me improve my listening, and every class she lets me listen many times, asks me questions to help me get the meaning, and helps me learn some new words that are natural in southern Vietnamese. Honestly, these classes are invaluable to me!

Chi demonstrates remarkable patience and attention to detail throughout every lesson. As I practice speaking Vietnamese, she provides real-time written corrections on grammar and conversation, which greatly enhances my understanding of how to refine my Southern Vietnamese accent. The visual feedback she offers is instrumental in helping me improve my pronunciation and speak with greater clarity. Her practical and precise guidance has significantly advanced my speaking skills and confidence.
