Friday 06.12. & Saturday 07.12.2024 18:30-19:00 – Vietnamese – beginner level
“Con Ăn Cơm Chưa?” (“Have you eaten yet?”) If you are one of the lucky people who are often asked this lovely question by their Vietnamese parents, congratulations! But can you give them a longer and more detailed answer than “dạ ăn rồi” (“Yes, I have eaten”)? If not, then a Vietnamese course at beginner level would probably be the right thing for you.
Hien, our intern in the Vietnamese group at the SKB, is organizing just such a Vietnamese course on 6 and 7 December 2024 from 18:30 - 19:00 (online via Zoom). In this taster course, you will learn the complete alphabet of the Vietnamese language within 90 minutes, which - as is often wrongly assumed - is based on the Latin alphabet. Afterwards you will be able to combine the letters yourself, practise the pronunciation of the most important Vietnamese words for everyday life and even form your first simple sentences.
This course is also suitable for people without Vietnamese roots and any previous knowledge of the language.
The course content is the same on both December 6 and 7, so register for the date that suits you best and feel free to forward the offer to your friends/partner/acquaintances ❤️
To register, simply send a short email to: hien.phan@posteo.de.
Best of all, you can take part in the course from anywhere (Zoom), completely free of charge and without obligation!
