"Highly recommend Mr. Khánh Hưng and SVFF"

SVFF taught me Vietnamese well, including how to speak, listen, write, etc. Being taught by Mr. Khánh Hưng, I can already have conversations in Vietnamese with my family/others, and it's only been less than a year. I'm absolutely ecstatic with my progress and look forwards to seeing where I am in the future.

"The best way to learn and improve your Vietnamese"

I've been learning with SVFF for a few years with Cô Kim Hằng and it has been a great experience. The teaching style is relaxed but comprehensive and makes each trip back to Vietnam more personal and meaningful. Five stars!

"Cô Nguyên is very cute perfect teacher."

Cô Nguyên is very cute, friendly and perfect teacher. Her lessons are always so much fun. I can learn of course Vietnamese and Vietnamese culture. Through talking with her, Cô Nguyên motivate me to learn Vietnamese more!! Thank you so much!!

"The best southern Vietnamese training available. Period."

I have been learning with Miss Thảo Tâm for around 8 months now and I could not be happier with my experience. She has been an energetic, patient, respectful, thoughtful and encouraging teacher. I am an intermediate learner and I was very pleased with how quickly she managed to get me away from using any English during our lessons. She has significantly improved my speaking and comprehension. Not to mention that we have so much fun and lots of laughs.
Beyond the one-on-one lessons, they provide lots of resources, videos and interactive activities to keep me busy.
The value provided by SVFF is unparalleled. I cannot recommend it enough.
Cảm ơn cô Thảo Tâm và SVFF!!

"My Experience with Ms. Thảo Tâm & SVFF"

I want to preface this by saying, I am Việt kiều and have grown up around Vietnamese speakers but it was difficult for me to pick up the language because I spoke and interacted with mostly English speakers in my daily life. I've always gotten made fun of by family and friends who spoke Vietnamese lol.

Ms. Thảo Tâm has helped me tremendously with learning my Vietnamese. I have been studying with her for about 6 months now and am very happy with my progress. There is a structure to the course but my classes always felt like they were tailored to me because she really puts in the effort to get to know my goals and my life. A typical lesson would involve reviewing the coursework, reading, writing, role-playing, and listening. Recently, I have expressed interest in learning how to type in Vietnamese and Tâm has been incorporating that into our lessons. Pronunciation of tones was probably the hardest thing for me but Tâm has really helped me improved my pronunciation and Southern accent. I am able to speak to my family members better because the barrier between language is getting smaller and people have noticed how much better my Vietnamese is now.

Lastly, I just want to highlight how patient and encouraging Ms. Thảo Tâm is. I come into every class with a dozen of questions and she always makes time to answer them and usually goes past our scheduled meeting time to help me understand them. There was a time I felt like I plateaued because I was struggling so much with pronunciation. She saw how frustrated I was and broke it down for me so that I could understand and build my confidence.

Vietnamese is a pretty hard language even for someone like me who has grown up with it. I had a stint where I was trying to self-learn but the immersion, care, and dedication of Ms. Thảo Tâm and the SVFF team is what ultimately helped me improved my Vietnamese.

"Learning Vietnamese with Ms. Thảo Nguyên and SVFF"

It's been nearly a year since I have started learning Vietnamese with Ms. Thảo Nguyên and wow does time fly. At first, I tried learning Vietnamese by myself for about 3-4 months, just trying various apps and books to try to build a foundation but felt like I did not see much improvement using those methods. I wanted to see improvement and so I knew that the best method to see slow but gradual improvement was to find a teacher to help guide and correct any habits I have formed. I discovered SVFF through their YouTube page and saw that they were constantly uploading videos which was a clear indication that they were active and committed to teaching Vietnamese. I chose Ms. Nguyên due to my schedule at the time and couldn't have picked a better teacher. She has always been helpful, understanding, friendly and patient with me each and every lesson since when I started to even now. Her way of teaching expands on the textbook by introducing outside topics and ideas to help not just teach me Vietnamese but also teaching me about Vietnamese culture. As a student, I constantly find myself struggling to understand certain topics but Ms. Nguyên always goes above an beyond by looking for additional resources outside of our meeting times. After the first month or two learning with Ms. Nguyên, I could already see more improvement than the 3-4 months of self-learning. If you have any desire to learn Vietnamese and are comitted, I really do believe that Ms. Thảo Nguyên and SVFF would be an excellent place to faciliate that learning.

"Very helpful lessons with Thảo Tâm and SVFF"

I have been learning Vietnamese with Thảo Tâm, with SVFF for the past 7 months. She is very kind and patient and will go slower if needed. She is very good for beginners like me. She always comes to our lessons prepared and has various different interactive ways to learn Vietnamese. She is very personable and asks real questions about my life and teaches me how to answer them in Vietnamese. She always answers my questions no matter how many times I ask the same one. She makes me feel comfortable. She also helps me also understand more about Vietnamese culture as well. I am learning Vietnamese to talk to my Fiancé and his parents and she helps me learn the most natural and native way to speak, write and read in the southern dialect. I would recommend her to anyone looking to learn Vietnamese! Chị cảm ơn Thảo Tâm<3

"Amazing 1 on 1 Vietnamese lessons with Miss Thảo Nguyên"

I have been learning Vietnamese with Miss Thảo Nguyên through SVFF for months, and she has helped me progress so much. She is so encouraging and doesn’t rush through our lessons!! She has a way of making complex parts of Vietnamese understandable for how I learn best. Our lessons are always relevant and relatable, so I get a deeper understanding of what I am learning. She has helped me establish a solid foundation in Vietnamese by being patient and thorough. I am much more confident and comfortable as we progress through the lesson content. She is truly a professional and experienced teacher who cares. Studying has become fun, and I look forward to our weekly lessons. I highly recommend SVFF, especially Miss Nguyên, to anyone looking to learn Vietnamese!! Her expertise, passion for teaching and language, and personalized approach make her an exceptional teacher!! Cảm ơn Miss Thảo Nguyên!!!!

"Yes! You SHOULD get lessons through SVFF. "

Miss Thảo Nguyên with SVFF is the best and most helpful teacher I could have asked for! She is personable and super friendly, but she also encourages me to study and keeps me focused on learning and practicing. I came into this program with absolutely no knowledge of the language, and she has been able to help me by focusing on sounds and pronunciation first before introducing too much vocabulary. This is super helpful with language learning because it will allow me to be more clear and accurate when I start speaking more later on. She has also taken the time to learn more about me, and has adapted her lessons to include words and cultural information that will be more useful to me personally to keep me motivated to learn. I came into this language learning journey a little bit nervous and insecure, but Cô Thảo Nguyên has given me so much confidence and has helped me to study a lot. If you are even just starting to consider learning or improving your Vietnamese, I recommend that you schedule a class with her. You will not regret it!! Cảm ơn, Cô Nguyên!! :)

"I've been learning with Phi for over 2…"

I've been learning with Phi for over 2 years now and it has been a great experience to improve my Vietnamese and confidence in speaking. The customized lessons work for me and with all of the online materials available, I can work on things outside of our sessions. I highly recommend him and the team.
