Tuân Huỳnh

I've been taking lessons with Tuân for nearly 4 months and my Vietnamese has improved greatly! I started taking lessons to speak with my in laws and can now hold basic conversations. 4 months of lessons have done more for my skills than years of apps, books, and self study. I started taking lessons so that way I can continue the language and culture for my unborn son. Tuân teaching style is engaging and practical, which makes language acquisition fun and purposeful. I used to take lessons once a week, but now take them 3 times a week. I will be very sad to take a short break during my maternity leave. I look forward to resuming lessons until I've mastered fluency! I have even occasionally found myself to be dreaming in Vietnamese and encouraging my friends and (non-Viet) family to start taking italki lessons as well! You can tell that Tuân is passionate about teaching, sharing in cultural exchange, and has genuine interest in your development as a speaker!

Another excellent lesson with Tuân. -He speaks English very well and can explain grammar so it is easy to understand. -He is patient and adapts to my low level of Vietnamese. -Although Vietnamese pronunciation is difficult he shows the correct way to make the sounds. -I have gotten some insights into Vietnamese culture and food also. Recommended!

Tuân is very knowledgeable in language learning, and is able to make difficult concepts easy to understand. I love the cultural exchange we had in the last couple of lessons!

Today was our first class. I appreciate Tuan's patience with me. Thank you for helping me. Looking forward to more lessons.

As the other reviews said, Tuan is great at what he does. You wanna speak only Viet even though you are still a beginner? He will accommodate you. You want grammar explanations? He will accommodate you. He is friendly and easy going but pays attention to detail. Great instructor. Should raise his rates!

After a couple weeks of classes, starting Vietnamese from absolute beginner, we are now practicing sentences about activities we like and what we did today. It is fun to do the role play and learn some Vietnamese names for people and places! Tuan makes sure my vowel pronunciation stays on point. Thank you, Tuan!!
