Ancient, "lots of jobs" for teachers in Danang? That doesn't factor with my experience, as far as working at language schools goes. True that some people are working here illegally and without qualifications but I wouldn't ... Read More

So I got the call after applying for the job online via a reputable career website. I talked to them and they asked me to come for an interview. I told them that I'm Asian looking; and after much hesitation they then told me that they're very sorry ...

A combination of self-study/practice and coaching from a trained professional would certainly help. Self investment in one's own learning is what counts more than anything. As some famous writer wrote once, "People learn things IN SPITE OF SCHOOL, ... Read More

By the way, if you speak Vietnamese, you may find that demand for your services is higher than you think. A lot of adult learners (high school, university students and up) prefer someone who can explain to them in their own language "why" certain ... Read More

Life ain't fair, is it? I am finding myself locked out of jobs for being too old already. The hierarchy above doesn't factor in the extra points you get for being young and attractive looking, and extra bonus for blond hair and blue eyes. To be ... Read More

I have a Vietnamese girl-friend, I want to live in Vietnam, learn Vietnamese and never go back to my country. If I get married, it will give me residency, but will it also give me a work permit and/or investment licence equivalent? As if I get ...

I have found banking in VN to be a sort of Kafkaesque nightmare, oftentimes. Try to get any service between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. and they are usually closed for lunch. Same goes for the Post Office, and I would have a separate nightmare story to tell ... Read More

On the thread regarding harm caused by fast food outlets and Vietnamese non-comprehension of Vietnamese there appears to be some pretty negatively aggressive conversation. More than once I have used the negativity of the word "ad hominem" wherein ...
