Let’s Speak Vietnamese
Let’s Speak Vietnamese was created in 2014, out of a strong passion, a shared vision and a ceaseless commitment from Ms. Phung Thi My Hanh (Hanh Phung) and Mr. Valentin Constantinescu to make Vietnamese learning easy and accessible for everyone who has the interest. Our main customers are foreigners who live and work in Vietnam and/or having a Vietnamese partner as well as the Vietnamese 2nd-3rd generations living and working abroad who wish to speak their mother tongue.
“Our mission is to help expats living and working in Vietnam feel like this country is their second home, by creating a community for both expats and locals to meet, make friends and exchange their knowledge of different cultures’. We choose to offer Vietnamese lessons as an essential step in the journey of acquiring this mission because we believe that language is not merely a communication tool. It also carries cultural, historical and religious values.” – Ms. Hanh (Founder of Let’s Speak Vietnamese)
Known as one of the first 2 private Vietnamese language schools in Hanoi
We provide a wide range of courses (private and group, offline and online, etc.) to support students from all backgrounds and levels. With the first 5 years, LSV had over 5,000 students, from more than 20 countries around the world (such as France, England, USA, Australia, Canada, Russia, South Africa, China, Korea, Japan, Philippines, etc.).
By 2018, the monthly number of students had reached over 100. We have taught employees from renowned language centers, international schools, international companies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). We also published our own Vietnamese language books, which are currently used as guidance for our tailored curriculum. By 2019, we started our Youtube channel where you can find free and useful lessons.
In addition, Let’s Speak Vietnamese has been organizing dozens of culture-exchange events between LSV students and Vietnamese locals so they can exchange their knowledge about Vietnam. Culture-experience trips to beautiful regions in the North of Vietnam are also one of our favorite activities to help our students explore Vietnam and connect with the friendly and kind-hearted Vietnamese locals.
LSV is a R.A.F.T

I joined through a friend's suggestion and it has been fantastic, very nice classrooms and I have had the most friendly and helpful teacher. Not only has my Vietnamese improved greatly but I have also learnt a lot about the cultural norms and values through my teacher, something I have found just as valuable as learning the language. I'm looking forward to continuing onto the second course!Daniel McGarty2023-10-29Great sessions so far at LSV. Completed the first set of 10 lessons recently and our group have decided to continue with another block of 10. Very well organised and delivered by our teacher Giang who speaks English fluently. The price is very reasonable and includes a course book. Highly recommended to anyone looking to learn Vietnamese!Nigel Butler2023-08-28Great place to learn Vietnamese with experienced and patient teachersOlga Eland2023-07-17I really enjoyed studying at LSV, the teacher was very helpful and attentive, nice attitude and friendly atmosphere!
