Description

I have been learning the Vietnamese language for two or three years via self-study. I would say I know the basics but am not quite at the intermediate level. I have used Griesser software (good start), Vietnamese 1 of the Foreign Language Institute (twice through), the Colloquial Vietnamese book & tapes (can make it through chapter 8 of 17 before I stumble) and Pimsleur Vietnamese 1 (excellent). I am halfway through the Rosetta Stone Vietnamese 1. I own the 'Chung Ta Noi' book for Intermediate Vietnamese but it is too advanced for me at this time.

With out a doubt, I have learned to speak best using Pimsleur, although I've learned spelling, vocabulary and grammar from the other sources. I hope my tutor can train me further via the Pimsleur method. In this method, it is principally Vietnamese spoken but they use English to prompt the student to speak in Vietnamese. In contrast to 'immersion' courses, I have made the most progress in my Vietnamese by the Pimsleur method.

I do not care much to learn how to write Vietnamese. Right now, it is not important to me. Speaking it and understanding it are my most difficult hurdles.

I have been to Viet Nam eight times, to HCMC but never Hanoi. I certainly want to move there to VN and hopefully work there also. My goal is to be able to hold a conversation with the people of Viet Nam whenever I go there (whether next time or whenever).
I want to dedicate an hour or two per week to the tutoring lessons but want & expect to have meaningful homework during the rest of the week.

I think the only requirement for my tutor is that he or she not be 100% immersion style. If I cannot even ask questions in English, I think I will be lost.
