Learn Vietnamese With SVFF is exceptionally well-rated by customers. Customers particularly appreciate professional and quality.
I’ve been doing lessons with SVFF and Ms. Mình Trang for a few months now and it has been very helpful in my language learning journey. The one on one lessons add extra insight in addition to the course material. Ms. Trang also adds in history lessons in addition as well as breaks down the more difficult lessons into digestible content. Would 100% recommend her for lessons.
We have been using SVFF for almost a year now. Chi Minh Trang teaches my two young kids ages 9 and 10. She is amazing and my kids have learned quite a bit of vocabulary as well as talk in complete sentences. She is very good at reviewing subjects before introducing new ones. Has many games to break up the sessions and my kids love her class! We highly recommend Chi Minh Trang- very good with kids, organized and always has an agenda before class every week. We love her!
I have Minh Trang as my instructor and she is very patient and encouraging in my lessons. I feel like SVFF is a good resource for those wanting to get a more concrete understanding of the Vietnamese language.
After searching for and trying out quite a few different resources for learning Vietnamese, with emphasis on the Southern accent, I eventually arrived at SVFF. Three to four months later, I'm convinced that I made the right choice, and that SVFF has the most accessible and extensive materials to offer. Their online textbook is fairly rigorous and features plenty of audio examples, conversation videos and activities. It also seems like they are continuously improving or extending the material. For absolute beginners, SVFF starts with a focus entirely on pronunciation, which has been a great introduction to the language, as its sounds and tonal aspects are bound to be a stumbling block for most learners. My teacher, Minh Trang, has been a terrific guide through the pronunciation section and the beginner materials. She has been patient and understanding, but also willing to point out when my pronunciation is unclear, which I appreciate. She has always been well prepared for lessons, brings a positive attitude, and has taken the effort to create some extra materials outside of the textbook for me. It's also worth noting that here English skills are great, which helps when it comes to explaining nuances in the language or cultural aspects in Vietnam. Overall, a great experience in starting to learn a tough language.

My tutor, Minh Trang is awesome at explaining the basic structure of Vietnamese grammar and pronunciation of the different tones. She is very detail oriented in teaching the differences between formal vs what Southern Vietnamese locals use in their daily lives. I appreciate the cultural and historical lessons as well because it goes back to my roots and heritage.
I've been learning Vietnamese with Miss Thảo Nguyên for about a month and a half and it has been a fantastic experience so far! Although I know basic Vietnamese, I didn't have a strong foundation as I never learned the alphabet, tones, etc. as a child and I wanted to improve my Vietnamese. After a few months of trying to learn independently, I decided to do the trial lesson with SVFF to see if this would be more beneficial and it has been! Miss Thảo Nguyên is an amazing teacher who makes the lessons fun and applicable to real-life conversations. She is also patient with me as I have difficulties pronouncing certain sounds and has given me helpful tips that have helped me get better. Having someone who can correct my pronunciation or sentence structure instantly has been super helpful in improving my skills and I look forward to taking more classes.
I've been taking Vietnamese lessons with SVFF over the past few months, and the experience has been excellent. I spoke Vietnamese when I was younger and am now relearning, and my instructor, Minh Trang, has been amazing. She is patient, connects lessons to real-life situations, and provides valuable cultural insights, from holidays to everyday life in Vietnam. Due to work, I've had to pause for a bit, but I’m really looking forward to resuming our lessons this weekend. I would 100% recommend this program to anyone looking for a great learning experience with a fantastic teacher.
This is my second stint with SVFF. First time as a beginner and now I’m back to improve my Vietnamese. Minh Trang is an excellent teacher, with loads of patience. and the materials are great for navigating daily life in Vietnam.
The SVFF system and courses offer a wealth of material to dive into. I'm an absolute beginner with no real background in the language and love the way they've structured the lessons and how they build on one another. It may not work for everyone, but starting first by learning pronunciations, tones, and reading, has built a strong foundation that's allowed me to see or even hear a word (in a lesson or in real life with native speakers and business names/menus) and be able to break it down prior to even knowing the meaning. The actual website and textbook has a lot of tools for bettering your understanding, listening, and pronunciation. I actually think that when you look at the "textbook" page it's easy to undervalue what you're seeing, but the top navigation bar alone holds 3 or 4 resources for vocabulary building along with proper pronunciations. The left side navigation bar then has another 2 or 3 resources, as does the right side bar, with the actual lesson content making up with center of the page. So that single lesson page has a ton of value packed into it with audio, video, dictionaries, pictographic explanations, crosswords (among other language useful games), and the actual lesson itself. My teacher is Miss Thảo Tâm (Cô Thảo Tâm) and she has extreme levels of patience because I slaughter Vietnamese pronunciations constantly. She's great in personalizing the lessons to what I need to work on, answering questions that I have that are ancillary to the lesson, explaining the "why" of particular language usage, and not letting me be lazy. She's also been diligent in explaining the differences between the pronunciations when reading (reading pronunciations can differ from spoken), and Northern vs Southern dialects (I'm learning the Southern dialect but still need to be aware of Northern differences). I'm not sure if all the teachers are as well prepared and insightful, but it goes a long way to helping me reach my language goals. There have even been times when I'm with relatives and have messaged her on Skype to help me with being able to say a word or phrase. I speak 2 other languages (Japanese and some basic Spanish), but Vietnamese is a completely different ballgame and so far I'm definitely seeing great progress via SVFF and it's noticeable when interacting with friends and family. I was skeptical about not having an in-person lesson (since I'm not located in Vietnam), but so far so good.
I started learning about 5 months ago with Cô Tâm, and it's been night and day. I improved so much, and I am still learning every day. As a kid, I didn't really learn the basics, so Cô Tâm was helpful in building that foundation with me. I am able to communicate with my loved ones, and I can tell my family is so happy to be able to speak and write with me in their mother tongue. I am happy too. Cô Tâm is great teacher. She is really engaging, and she helped me go from being shy to being confident when speaking Vietnamese. That made a big difference. I really like the textbook and all the interactive activities. It definitely helps with my learning! One thing I would love to see is a way to interact with other students online like a Discord channel. I have family that speaks to me in Vietnamese, but I would love to talk with other learners. I think it would be fun!
I've taken 3 lessons with Mr. Hiệp Mậu and have had an amazing experience so far. I'm relearning Vietnamese and Mr. Hiệp Mậu is helping me build confidence by patiently guiding me through the lessons and addressing any question I have. The SVFF team is responsive with messages and provides an online textbook that is super helpful. It has instructive videos and activities for you to get extra practice. I already feel an improvement in the way I read and speak to my family! If you're thinking about learning Vietnamese with SVFF, give it a try!
I’ve been learning Vietnamese with Mr. Hiệp Mậu at SVFF for nearly a year now, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. Over the past ten months and 40+ one-hour lessons, Mậu has been incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging. Beyond just language, he has shared so much about Vietnamese culture, traditions, and everyday life, making my learning journey feel truly immersive. His ability to explain complex concepts in a clear and approachable way has made a significant difference in my progress. Whether it’s pronunciation, grammar, or understanding the nuances of Southern Vietnamese, Mậu always takes the time to ensure I fully grasp each lesson. SVFF has provided a fantastic structured learning experience, and I highly recommend both the program and Mr. Hiệp Mậu to anyone serious about learning Vietnamese. If you’re looking for a supportive, engaging, and culturally rich way to learn, this is the place to be!
