I have been taking Vietnamese language courses at Vietlesson since September 2019. I have taken Beginner 1, Beginner 2, and am currently taking Intermediate. I have been so thrilled with the quality of instruction with Vietlesson since our first lesson. Class sizes are small, which allows for individual attention from the teacher. The atmosphere overall is comfortable and friendly, and I have made great friends through my language class. The teacher, Liên, is absolutely wonderful - her friendly manner, sense of humor, and real desire to help all students learn makes learning a new language fun, even when it is a challenge. The courses emphasize pronunciation from the start of Beginner 1, which is incredibly important when learning Vietnamese. Additionally, the courses balance vocabulary, grammar, writing, reading, listening, and speaking practice wonderfully. Since Vietlesson also offers English courses, students can participate in language exchanges, which allows the students to practice their Vietnamese skills with native speakers. The courses also pair with a vocabulary app (Memrise) which I have found incredibly helpful in learning new vocabulary. Moreover, Vietlesson Coffee House offers a comfortable seating area to chat before and after lessons and offers a nice selection of coffee and other drinks (the ginger tea is incredible). I could not be more pleased with the quality of Vietlesson and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to learn Vietnamese!

I had the wonderful fortune to meet Ms Anh at Essensian. For those who are into natural therapies and health care without chemicals – make it a definite place to visit. Anh is a beautiful soul and you will leave soaked in positive energy. Essensian is more than a shop, it is an experience that you will remember. Anh is a genuine healer who gives you her undivided attention by listening and her advice comes from a place of love and intellect. One of the best things you could do in Hoi An is to make your way to Essensian – it might just be the place you have always needed to go to.
