"One on One Lessons"

I have been taking one on one lessons with Mr. Hiệp Mậu for about 6 months. My only regret is that I didn't start sooner.
I am a native English speaker that has studied Tagalog and Spanish, but had no experience with a tonal language. My wife's parents speak Vietnamese and Teochew. Since there are no real resources to learn Teochew, I decided to try learning Vietnamese on my own with various apps. I didn't get far before I quit trying.
The resources and learning material available as an SVFF student are amazing. The activities and exercises are engaging and useful. The videos are so helpful and are actually usually pretty funny.
I don't think I can say enough about my instructor. First, as a busy Professional, I'm glad someone could help me during my only free time. Mr. Hiệp Mậu is always flexible about scheduling. I enjoy our lessons, I don't think there has been a lesson where I haven't laughed. I might be laughing at my mistakes, but I still have fun. He always has answers to my questions, including etymology of words which helps me remember vocabulary. Most importantly he has helped me improve my Vietnamese skills. I always look forward to our lessons and hope to continue learn from him and the teachers at SVFF.

"Up-to-date and supportive"

SVFF has a great amount of various studying resorce, such as videos, podcasts,... available on different sites like Youtube, Facebook, Tiktok,...I'm also really impressed with their active textbook, which is not only a book, but also a source of all kinds of references. What you need to do is just clicking into the activities, the audios, or videos right there on the lesson's page.
Teachers here are amazingly friendly and active, too. They always bring you the most practical way of speaking in Vietnamese.
Lastly, it's great that SVFF always listen to either their students or their teachers. This is known by the way they let students comment or report on any lesson of their textbook or activities by the "flag"icon.
Therefore, I believe this is a reliable site for you to learn and improve your knowledge of not only Vietnamese but also Vietnamese culture.

"The Best Vietnamese Teacher I Could Ask For"

Thuong Nguyen has been the most patient and supportive teacher I could ask for. I look forward to my lessons with her because she always encourages me to be the best student I can be.

"Online classes with SVFF has inspired me to learn Vietnamese again"

I've watched video lessons on youtube and various other sites for a couple of years now, and written down words that I could memorize. It worked for a while, but eventually I practiced less and less. I was quite satisfied with their video lessons, especially the one teaching pronounciation (southern accent), so I decided to try 1-on-1 online lessons with SVFF.

I have been studying with cô Thương for a little over 2 months now, and I'm learning a lot. She's very patient, and always gives me useful tips when I ask about things. The online text book is very useful, with audio, videos and texts to read. There are also quizzes and various interactive activites.

I went from learning 5 words (or often no words) per week to 20+ words every week. I'm also starting to recognize more words from conversations on youtube, and when my family is talking.

I'm very satisfied with my lessons, and if you're in doubt, I'd recommend trying it out. It's much more effective than learning on your own. I wish I had started my 1-on-1 online classes years ago.

"Life changing experience with SVFF"

I have been conducting lessons with SVFF for at least a couple years, and the degree of professionalism is far above any other teaching resources on the internet. I would consider them a mini University at your pace for any level of student. They constantly take feedback, and adjust the course material according to your needs so that you make deliberate progress. For myself, I have gone from a street speaker to learning how to read and write (to a degree) and I am much much better at listening and speaking, I am not even starting to think about reading books which I would have never imagined before. I can't imagine life without the resources of SVFF. If I could give them 10 stars, I would.

"Superb Southern Vietnamese Lessons and Resources"

They have a wealth of useful learning resources and I've found the 1-on-1 lessons to be invaluable. Within a couple of weeks I felt like I'd learnt more practical language skills than I'd had from one month of learning with a textbook.

I've been fortunate enough to have Khành Hưng as a my teacher and highly recommend him to everyone that has the opportunity to learn with him. He quickly picks up on, and corrects my mistakes, is very encouraging, enthusiastic, and endlessly patient.

"Amazing teachers for Southern Vietnamese learners"

I am a regular student with SVFF and have been learning with Kim Thương there for about 6 months in 1-on-1 classes over the Internet. Both Miss Thương and SVFF get my highest recommendations for teaching southern Vietnamese.

I am terrible at learning languages and have never become close to fluent in any language except my own (English). I am easily intimidated speaking in front of others and making mistakes too. Despite this, SVFF and Miss Thương have helped me immensely and made a huge difference in my understanding and speaking abilities.

I live in the US and took a trip back to Vietnam last month. My understanding of Vietnamese and the locals showed an incredible difference in my abilities from a trip a year before that. I do not have anyone to practice Vietnamese with locally in the US, so it has all come from their classes. In addition to a really, really great teacher, the online curriculum is also very good - videos, videos at slow speaking paces, interactive quizzes and learning activities, and more all help. I plan to continue learning with SVFF and Miss Thương indefinitely. Classes are a fair price, the curriculum is good, my teacher is exceptional, and SVFF is a trustworthy company.

"Kim Thương, and the rest of SVFF, are INCREDIBLE."

I've been studying with Ms. Kim Thương for more than 3½ years now. Not only does SVFF have a solid curriculum to follow, Ms. Thương has been nothing short of amazing in helping me recognize my strengths, my areas of growth, and tailoring her teaching method to match my learning style. She's consistently present, warm, creative, and encouraging!

When I began studying with SVFF, there are many benefits that I didn't realize that I'd enjoy in addition to the language. I've gotten to be better acquainted with Vietnamese culture, values, humor, and most importantly - SVFF staff who have also become friends.

Lastly, but certainly not least - I've also noticed a serious improvement between my first trip to Vietnam in 2017 and my 2nd trip in 2022. While on a tour in north Vietnam, a stranger overheard me speaking with my tour guide about where we were going next. He came up to me and asked "Anh ơi - anh sống được ở Việt Nam bao nhiêu năm rồi?" (Bro - how many years have you lived in Vietnam now?) When I told him that I just arrived the Sunday prior, he asked me how I was able to speak Vietnamese like I do, and this really felt like a point of validation that my ability to speak is definitely improving!

Cảm ơn cô Thương, và cảm ơn SVFF! Here's to many more years of studying with you! 🤘🏼😆

"Noticeable progress in 2 months of weekly lessons"

I've been studying Vietnamese with my tutor Thương at SVFF for 2 months and my progress is making me very proud. Thương is patient and great at explaining complex sentence structures, always providing me with lots of examples which helps to truly make them sink into my memory.

SVFF's learning portal and study materials strike a perfect balance with listening, interactive word puzzles, reading, and speaking exercises, seamlessly complementing the lessons. It's fantastic for reviewing and tracking my progress. Now, I understand much more when my Vietnamese family is talking, and I'm confident in speaking simple sentences.

I'm thrilled that Thương was able to cater to my requirement of learning the north Vietnamese dialect. SVFF offers a tailored study path specifically for the northern dialect, aligning all materials with the correct northern vocabulary. Every week I look forward to my lesson with Thương, it's always full of fun and I feel like I am making great improvements. Highly recommend SVFF and Thương for effective Vietnamese learning!

"Great teachers for all levels"

I have been learning with Miss Kim Thương for over a month, and with SVFF for a year. I enjoy my lessons with Miss Thương very much. She is very encouraging and supportive, and always check to make sure I understand everything.

I appreciate that Miss Thương adds her own learning materials, videos and fun facts instead of just following the SVFF lesson plan. For example we spent on lesson talking about Tét Trung Thu and another lesson on a nutrition video. The variety of topics make the conversations interesting and helps me practice new words more naturally.

Lastly, reviewing words at the start of each class and writing down words I don't know is very useful for me. As I have Viet parents, free speaking and vocabulary are much more challenging for me than pronounciation. During the time I have been learning with SVFF, I have noticed much improvement here and can only recommend them whether you are a beginner or intermediate speaker.
