It was yet another productive and fruitful lesson with Chị Thảo today, as we did two listening exercises and reviewed vocabulary related to time and schedules. Chị Thảo has also made it a point to correct my homework, and I am very heartened to see how I have managed to use the words and structures learnt so far to describe my daily schedules and activities - definitely looking forward to more lessons!

Thao is a serious and committed teacher. She knows how to make the lesson interesting, how to give strong grammar notions and how to help you reach fluency. I will continue learning with her as long as I'll be learning Vietnamese! Thank you so much!

Today, I learnt about the system of first-person pronouns. It’s quite complicated, but it’s really important when greeting people. First of all, I’d like to revise what I’ve learnt and try to memorise it.

Thảo has great lessons. She is friendly, I feel more relaxed with her than the other tutors I tried. She also integrates some of the culture into the lesson. Today we practiced tones and used vietnamese cities to practice those tones. She took the time to say a little about each city, and it was nice to have some culture in the lesson. Lessons are paced well: a quick test of last lesson's material, and then the rest is new vocab!

Thảo is an excellent teacher. My wife is a Vietnamese speaker and she is very impressed with my progress and how I am being taught the language, would highly recommend. She also has excellent English which is very helpful when learning.

Today I learnt the pronunciation of Vietnamese. I found that how different and difficult between my mother language, but it was so fun.
