VUNG TAU CITY - VIETNAM - Exchange language and culture; live locally with young people; daily converse to help them improve their English
If you are English speakers, if you are friendly and you would like to share time with local people, who are very open-minded, this is the right place for you to come.
There is a group of about ten young people (from 16-28 years old), we organise a kind of homestay to offer to volunteers, in order to live together. With this way, we would like to improve our English by talking regularly, discussing every simple activity to understand each other’s culture.
We are eager to talk in English, but taking language lesson is really not the best efficient way to gain the fluency. So the idea to have an English speaker to live with is our solution.
WHAT WE NEED FROM VOLUNTEERS:
- Daily language practice in English in a family life style
- Fixed main time to manage the group: weekdays, from 7pm to 8:30pm, topic to be given by us. In this time, volunteers will help us converse in the most natural way, tell out personal opinion confidently, pronounce correctly, answer or make question to us to create the conversation, in the sweetest ambience.
- Volunteers need to keep available from 2pm to 4pm on weekdays for private tutoring in case any of us needs extra support. This will be scheduled the day before. If nobody asks for this extra support, you are free to hang out with any of us, or by yourself under your budget.
