Business Vietnamese (Elementary)

Overview

In 2017, Vietnam's economy grew at a six year high of 6.8%, supported by strong exports, investment and fast growing domestic consumption.  A large inflow of investments can be attributed to countries like Japan, South Korea and in particular Singapore. Given Vietnam's abundant labour, competitive wages, network of FTAs and connectivity to global centres of demand, it is quickly becoming a choice location for manufacturing, technology, electronics, textiles and F&B. Many doors are opened for Singapore companies to venture into Vietnam and tap on the immense business opportunities and potential. Individuals who are able to understand and speak the local language in Vietnam would gain significant competitive advantage as Vietnamese is usually used as a medium of business communication in Vietnam.

Business Vietnamese (Elementary)is specially curated for businesses in mind. The course focuses on getting business people who intend to explore Vietnam as a growth destination to speak the local language.  Emphasis and the learning context will be specially designed for business and social scenarios where the typical participant is expected to use his/her Vietnamese language skills to engage in a basic business conversation. 

What sets Business Vietnamese (Elementary) apart from other courses in the market is our high teacher to student ratio which allows sufficient attention to be given to every participant. To ensure accuracy in their pronunciation, equip them with greater confidence in their speeches and increase their retention of the language, participants will be exposed to day-to-day dialogs with actual Vietnamese where what they have learnt during the lessons would be put to practice.
