Vietlesson is a hub for learning language to both the Vietnamese and foreign students in Hanoi. We are committed to providing quality training, real results and value to our customers. Our success has come from an honest approach to teaching and personal development by listening to what our students want and delivering what they need.
“Learn language and connect cultures” is our unique learning system that Vietlesson students benefit. In our training centre Vietnamese and foreigners come together to practice their language skills. We regularly overlap Vietnamese and English classes by 15minutes and have speaking clubs at the weekend to practice conversation & correction between cultures. This increases understanding and improves confidence.
At ‘Vietlesson Coffee House’ is where students can benefit from elegant spacious learning in a quiet pocket of Tay Ho district, close to hotels, shopping centres, local restaurants and public transport routes. Our relaxed and traditional setting has large colonial classrooms and a tranquil courtyard café, which brings our fresh, clean and green language school concept to life.
WHO WE ARE
Vietlesson is a unique dual language centre specialising in teaching both English and Vietnamese language.
We bring a wealth of experience to our students by mapping our own curriculum based from over 10 years of teaching. Combining simple and fun learning techniques with useful, day to day subjects which we need for work and home.
WHAT ARE OUR GOALS
Our goal is to help our students achieve the very best quality of life possible through learning. Such as studying and working abroad, progressing to higher levels within their current work, working for international companies, and using language and soft skills to catapult them into new positions.
We do this by sharing our worldly travel and culture experience. Teaching communication and business skills such as manager training, customer service, sales and marketing and business writing for emails. These are just a handful of the specific training courses we offer.
NEW STUDENTS
Our first priority with any new student is to identify their language level. Anyone can book this at any time with a native teacher and will include both grammar and speaking to understand each students strengths and weaknesses. Serious new-comers are also invited to ‘try before they buy’ by attending a suitable class based on their ability. This provides the student with a full understanding of Vietlesson, our teachers, curriculum and location without any pushy sales tactics. Just good old fashioned customer service.
PRACTICE WITH FOREIGNERS
At Vietlesson our mission is to provide real life training wherever possible. So you must practice with natives of the language you are learning. Vietlesson holds weekly speaking lessons designed for this:
Coffee Talk: Is for Vietnamese students learning English. A weekly speaking club with Native English teachers, designed to help you improve your speaking, pronunciation, listening and overall confidence. Held in our coffee shop to promote a comfortable and relaxed environment for those who need more practice.
COFFEE TALK
In both ‘Coffee Talk’ and ‘Language Exchange’ our students gain fantastic results in communication and confidence, as well and have fun, learn about new cultures and make new friends. The smiles on everyone’s faces at the end of these sessions says it all!
In the sessions we focus on a range of different subjects for real life situations, communication techniques and business skills.
We learn new vocabulary and pronunciation whilst listening to each other describe their experiences about different subjects. Some subjects may include: Making mistakes, facing fears or having open debates about interesting subjects.
COFFEE TALK ENGLISH CLUB
‘Coffee Talk’ hones many valuable skills which are required for business, such as personal introductions, as well as talking about your job, education, skills and work experience. Which are vital for a job interview.
We also focus alot on fun and enjoying it too. Every week includes a range of different ESL games to improve your English!
A STUDENT MINDSET
Once a student begins learning, they are encouraged to create good learning habits by using a range of study techniques to keep help them develop everyday. Each Vietlesson course includes two 90 minute classroom lessons per week, 1 speaking lesson per week, given homework, all study materials and our ‘online learning app’ with a course designed to mirror that in the classroom. Providing additional vocabulary and pronunciation practice.
LANGUAGE EXCHANGE
Language Exchange: Here we welcome both students of English and Vietnamese. What better way to practice than with foreigners who are also learning Vietnamese? In these sessions we spend 15-30mins speaking English, where the foreigners can help correct dialogue and pronunciation of Vietnamese natives. Then we swap over and speak 15-30mins in Vietnamese.
In both ‘Coffee Talk’ and ‘Language Exchange’ our students gain fantastic results in communication and confidence, as well and have fun, learn about new cultures and make new friends. The smiles on everyone’s faces at the end of these sessions says it all!
SPEED
We understand that everyone learns at different speeds, therefore we never push anyone who is not ready for the next level. Actually many students choose to redo a course twice before moving on as this helps create a stronger learning foundation.
