Description

Vietnamese 3 is a dynamic, intermediate-level course. Students gain comprehensive and communicative skills involved in real-world scenarios that require complex forms of grammatical constructions. This course consolidates and refines students’ ability to naturally employ their Vietnamese language skills acquired at previous levels of study. Through regular feedback and activities encouraging the development of spoken and written communication, students will learn to confidently navigate issues such as health and illness, housing and renting travel arrangements, and culturally appropriate self-expression. In addition to increasingly complex grammatical structures, this course introduces the Sino-Vietnamese vocabulary and cultural knowledge to prepare students for formal communication in Vietnam. 

Via face-to-face video at a set time prescribed by the University. Please be aware of potential time zone differences.
