Singapore Expats

Hi all,

I'm Linh, have lived in Singapore for 2 years, native born Vietnamese with North accent ( I'm from Hanoi the capital )

Lately I have decided to further my study in France in a few years' time. I looked for French course here but the fee is rather high I want to get pass the elementary level before taking an academic course. Actually, I know a teeny bit of French, only the very basics though.

That's why I'm looking for a partner to teach me the basics - I may learn it myself but without frequent practice I tend to forget them very fast.


About Vietnamese, I don't have serious teaching experience, but I happen to have a first grade elementary Vietnamese textbook hehe, might aid us a lot in learning the language. Besides I know how to draw -bonus notes with pictures if you are lovely haha.


Well, this happens to be my first post here! Might as well introduce myself a bit more I'm working as an in-house designer. Have graduated from Lasalle college of the arts just recently. Also curious to know about good cheap food in town I enjoy music jamming as well so if there are a few of you interested we can jam tgt!!!

Please sms through forum, merci!

Perhaps you can go to Alliance Francaise (near Newton MRT)
I know this is unrelated to your post, but I know of a French-Vietnamese couple in that Association, and they will make a Vietnamese booth during the Francophone Festival in March. Just go there and you won't be dissappointed.
Bye.

Hi Ninjo,

Thanks for your suggestion. Yes if I cannot find anyone to to language swap I'd register for a course at Alliance Francaise when I'm done with elementary. The information is way in advance, but I sure will look for it on March

There is actually this french couple who want a language exchange.
She said she wants to learn about Asian culture, so I'm certain you can help her out with that, Anyway, Vietnam (Tonkin, Annam used to be a French Colony right?)

@linkus: did you form a group already?
We are a young couple willing to exchange Vietnamese to your French so do you think it is possible to extend the group? let me know
