Hi, I’m Châu

    I’m a Vietnamese instructor, language lover.

    I’ve always loved discovering cultures, learning foreign languages, and sharing that passion through teaching. Over the past 5 years, I’ve taught languages, including 3,000+ hours of teaching Vietnamese to foreigners.

   I’m also a visual learner, so I love making language clear, simple, and easy to follow through visuals.

   
    As someone who has learned English and Mandarin Chinese myself and experienced both sides as a language learner and a teacher, I understand how exciting and sometimes overwhelming learning a new language can feel. That’s why I care about creating lessons that make you feel supported, not overwhelmed.
   
   What makes me happiest is seeing my students speak Vietnamese, connect with Vietnamese people, and feel a little more at home in Vietnam.


   I created "Vietnamese with Châu" to make Vietnamese clear, practical, and enjoyable, so you can go beyond memorising words and actually use Vietnamese to communicate and connect.


What my students say

“I have done other courses but felt this one more complete because everything was more accessible and well laid out.

Having it in an organized fashion has helped me even more as well, since I am a horrible note taker and really appreciate having a better version done for me.

But as far as longevity of use and content value… this course has excelled in leaps and bounds.”
PAUL MORISSON - AMERICAN
(Self-study course Pre-launch student)
"The lessons are practical, easy to follow, and well organized. I especially enjoyed the role-play practices, which helped me understand Vietnamese pronouns and how to address people naturally in different situations.

I love being able to learn at my own pace and track my progress. The course offers great value for the price, and I’d definitely love to take the next course"
Thies Hartnann - German
(Self-study course Pre-launch student)
"I had a wonderful experience in Cô Châu’s Vietnamese class! She is an incredibly patient and knowledgeable teacher who makes learning both fun and effective.

Her lessons are well-structured, engaging. I feel that my Vietnamese has improved a lot thanks to her clear explanations and supportive approach.

I highly recommend Cô Châu to anyone looking to learn Vietnamese!"
Evgeny - Russian
