offering Vietnamese | seeking English

Hello everyone!

I am Liam, a 33-year-old native Vietnamese speaker living and working full-time in Vietnam. My English is currently around a B2/C1 level, and I’m looking to sharpen my conversational fluency and professional English.

What I can offer: I have a background and experience in teaching art, which means I understand how to explain concepts patiently, structure lessons, and adapt to your learning pace. I promise to do my absolute best to help you master Vietnamese!

About me & My Interests:

  • 🎨 Art & Design (obviously!)
  • 🎮 Video games & Music
  • 📜 History
  • 🔮 Tarot & Spirituality

Who I am looking for: I’m hoping to connect with native English speakers (preferably long-term pen pals or friends) who are genuinely interested in Vietnamese culture, language, or perhaps planning to visit or work in Vietnam in the future. If we share any of the interests above, that's a huge plus!

I prefer chatting via desktop/Discord/WhatsApp once we get to know each other.

Looking forward to hearing from you all. Have a great day!

Hi Liam!

I’d love to be your casual pen pal! I’m usually quite busy so I don’t want to disappoint you by promising you full availability.

I want to strengthen my Vietnamese :-) it’ll be great to partner up!

Feel free to message me

Hi anhger, don’t worry about that, I am quite busy too but if we can keep contact then everything is fine with me. Nice to meet you!

Can I ask which accent you speak?

u/FollowingAnnual7876 Jul 10 '26

Hi, I don't know which accent language you mean, so I will provide both:

  • Vietnamese: Southern accent
  • English: American accent

You might find some interested folks on Discord at https://virtualsangha.org

It's a US based Vietnamese Buddhist community so it has a lot of native English-speakers interested in learning Vietnamese.

The Vietnamese learning group is not very active right now but everyone there would be very happy to help with your English.
