"The language program at the Center for Vietnamese and Southeast Asian Studies is an intense course, but also very enjoyable. The language teachers relate the material to your interests and work with you at your pace so that you really learn and understand the language. The course includes field trips so that you can practice the language outside of the classroom. The staff at the Center are extremely kind and are interested in your success. I enjoyed having the opportunity to practice my Vietnamese with them. I feel confident in my abilities to speak and read the language because of this program."
