I cannot recommend VLS enough. The team here have cultivated a great learning environment to help those on their Vietnamese learning journey. For me, VLS met my key criteria:
1. Structured lesson content
2. Holistic learning approach with focus given to speaking, listening reading and writing
3. Most importantly, a supportive environment that genuinely gets me to look forward to attending class each day thereby keeping me motivated
Looking back 2 months on and 80 class hours later, I am truly grateful for choosing to study here, especially for the efforts of my teacher Co Hoa. Thank you to all those that have helped me. See you again soon.

I came to VLS after a terrible week of class at another provider. It was clear from the get-go that VLS offered professional, practical and engaging conversation and warm and welcoming environment. I've greatly appreciated the creativity, the varied teaching methodologies and the enthusiasm from the whole team. Here's to more!

After a month of intensive language classes (80 hours) my increase in level has exceeded my expectations! All my skills have improved significantly, especially my speaking. The teachers and staff at VLS are friendly and super invested in my learning. This personal attention really makes VLS special. All of my teachers are highly skilled and all have personal experiences & backgrounds that enrich my studies. I feel so happy to be instructed by them. Not only do you learn Vietnamese but also the culture, which is incredibly rewarding. It was an amazing experience!

I highly recommend this school and their methods, but also VLS makes learning fun through their activities & great staff! I will be continuing online with VLS in my native country and hope to be back for future intensive lessons! Thank you so much! Cảm ơn VLS! Tháng trước ở VLS tôi học rất nhiều! Tôi vui vẻ và nhớ tất cả các bạn!

I had a wonderful experience with VLS. I studied with cô Phúc (a couple of weeks), cô Diệp (a few months), and cô Nhung (nearly two years). The school was great to work with, flexible, and accommodating.

For example, after my initial evaluation with cô Phúc (a wonderful instructor), I specifically requested a very rigorous teacher to help me achieve my ambitious language goals. Cô Diệp fit the bill perfectly as a degreed linguistics expert. When cô Diệp left the school to pursue additional studies, the school assigned cô Nhung to work with me. Cô Nhung is literally one of the best instructors I have ever had, in any topic. She was relentless, knowledgeable, and demanding, just as I had requested. She even designed an entirely new curriculum based on Vietnamese classic literature that helped me score a 4 out of 5 on the U.S. State Department’s language test.

As you can see, I can’t say enough good about VLS. I unreservedly recommend them to anyone wishing to learn Vietnamese.

After studying at 5 different language schools across Asia, VLS is by far my favorite. There is a combination of effective, flexible teaching with an incredibly kind and fun staff. I can not recommend VLS more to anyone interested in studying Vietnamese.

Thank you so much to Cô Thi and everyone in VLS for helping make my time in Vietnam a great experience. I learned so much in my short amount of time here and can leave Vietnam being able to speak some Vietnamese! I felt very welcomed into the VLS community and really appreciate everyone who was a part of that. I can’t wait to return and practice my Vietnamese!

Cám ơn VLS!!
