Ich hatte eine sehr gute Zeit in der ltl Sprachschule. Ich habe in der kurzen Zeit viel gelernt. Thư war eine sehr gute Lehrerin. Die gemeinsamen Mittagessen, Workshops und die Spiele haben viel Spaß gemacht.
Vielen Dank an alle!
When my parents first told me we were going to take Vietnamese lessons while traveling in Saigon, I was honestly dreading it so much. I already go to regular school all day, so the absolute last thing I wanted to do was sit in another boring classroom during my free time, memorizing weird words from a giant textbook while my friends were out having fun.
But I am writing this review because going to LTL Language School was actually the complete opposite of what I expected, and I literally ended up loving it so much! The whole vibe at the school is just really cool and not stressful at all. My teacher was a funny girl and she was seriously the best teacher I have ever had. I was super nervous on the first day because Vietnamese sounds really hard with all the different tones, and I was scared I was going to sound silly or embarrass myself. But the second she walked in, she made a random joke and created these made up characters to learn with, and I immediately knew the class was going to be fun. She just had this super bubbly and hilarious personality that made you actually want to pay attention. She didn’t treat me like a little kid, but she also didn’t make it super strict and serious like my normal school classes.
The thing I loved the absolute most was how she actually taught us the new words. Instead of just writing a super long list of vocabulary on the whiteboard and making me copy them down and read it out loud, she used all these amazing illustrations to go along with the vocabs as well. Every time we had to learn a new word, there was a cute or funny drawing to go with it. Like, when we were learning the words for different animals and food, she had these flashcards with the funniest cartoon pictures on them. There was this one illustration of a creature call zebranana that made me laugh so hard, and I still remember that the word "cá ngựa chuối" just because of that drawing! Sometimes she would even draw things on the board herself, and she would purposely make them look goofy so we would remember them better. It made learning the vocabulary feel way more like reading a comic book or playing a fun game than actually studying. I am a very visual person, so seeing the pictures right next to the words helped me memorize them so much faster. I even started doodling my own little pictures in my notebook next to my vocabulary lists, and she totally encouraged it and would even give me funny ideas for what to draw next.
She was also so, so helpful when it came to practicing speaking. Vietnamese tones are honestly really tricky, and sometimes my voice would go up when it was supposed to go down, and I would accidentally say something completely wrong. But she never ever made me feel bad about it. If I messed up, she would just laugh with me—not at me—and then we would practice saying it together slowly until I finally got it right. She would make up these funny little rhythms or hand motions to help me remember which way my voice was supposed to go, and we would just sit there repeating them and giggling. She made practicing feel like hanging out with an older sister rather than taking a test. She would also ask me about my day and my hobbies, and then teach me the words for the things I actually cared about, like my favorite food or activity or how to put those in a sentence, instead of just making me learn random words I would never actually use in real life.
By the time my course was over, I was actually really sad to leave. I can literally go to the local convenience store now and buy my own snacks, or say thank you and hello to the guards at our apartment building, and they always look so surprised and happy when I speak to them! I feel so much more confident living in Vietnam now. If you are a kid or a teenager and your parents are making you learn Vietnamese, tell them to sign you up at LTL Saigon. It is actually so much fun, the teachers are incredibly nice and funny, and you will learn so much without even feeling like you are doing homework. I had the greatest time and I really hope I get to go back and take more classes with her soon! Cảm ơn LTL và cảm ơn cô giáo !
