TIENG VIET OI

​Teaching Vietnamese, from just an extra job to afford my first European trip in 2012, has now become my whole career, my dream and my passion. There's a saying that goes: "With languages, you're at home anywhere". And my dream is to make Vietnam a second home for you all.

Teaching Tiếng Việt has brought me insights into my mother tongue, chances to meet new, cool people, and a sense of how rewarding it is to be a teacher. I hope to catch up with you some time somehow in your journey of learning the language.

I enjoy every single day of teaching. Teaching Vietnamese has given me a whole new perspective on languages and cultures and I hope learning Vietnamese will have the same impact on my students.

When I studied English Linguistics, I - myself - found that I would never reach to the end of its nature. The more I learn, the less I know. Then I wonder about my own language - Vietnamese. How does it work? Therefore, I started to study it and decided to become a Vietnamese teacher.

The career switch to teaching has been one of my best decisions. Not lipsticks but markers are my inseparable items. It is super fun witnessing every single moment my students utter a Vietnamese word or sentence. It doesn't matter how many mistakes there are, all that matters is their sincere efforts in trying to learn the language.

Being a Vietnamese teacher is the most amazing thing I've ever done. I love seeing my students' improvement day by day, it makes me happy every single time I think of it. Inspired by a lot of teachers all over the world whom I've had chances to work with, I promise to bring you a real and pure experience learning my mother tongue.

Being a studious person, teaching Vietnamese has given me chance to learn so much from my students all over the world. That's the best thing about languages, you don't just always teach and learn the language itself but you also learn to see the world in a different way.

I started my teaching career as an English teacher, and had never imagined myself being a Vietnamese teacher. But now I'm here loving my job more than ever. For the first time I take that much pride in my mother tongue and I'm confident I can make you fall in love with my language too.

I feel like it's my fate to be a Vietnamese teacher. After graduation, I've tried many different jobs but everything seemed like a mess. Teaching Vietnamese brings me the kind of excitement and enthusiasm that I've never experienced before. It feels so good to finally love what you're doing!
