My name is Bem Nguyen, founder of Hue Local Tour. The rapid development of industry in Vietnam has radically affected agriculture and the traditional craft villages which have sustained life here for centuries. Hue Local Tour hopes to contribute to the preservation of these long-established lifestyles and cultural values through traditional village experience tours. Hue Local Tour is rooted in the community and thus, after deducting for costs, tour revenue goes to our charity funding , the Hue Foundation. Building on the sustainable tourism activities of Hue Local Tour, in mid-2019 Bem founded the Hue Foundation Charity Fund with the objective of assisting families suffering the consequences of the Vietnamese wars. We wanted to dedicate a portion of the charity’s funds to establish a scholarship fund for academically inclined children of our community who required financial assistance to attend school.
É stato molto divertente e interessante. Si imparano forme di cortesia e semplici modi di dire utili e da poter praticare “sul campo”. Un ottimo modo per entrare ancora di più nel vivo del paese. Consigliato!
Thank you Bem for such a fun and interesting introduction class to Vietnamese! Highly recommend the experience and Bem as a great person to share her knowledge about her language and culture :)
It was a lovely session to learn basic yet crucial Vietnamese. Bem was highly responsive and interactive with Vietnamese words and phrases that we wanted to, as well as needed to, know. The environment was cozy for better learning and communicating.
Nice lesson to give you an intro to Vietnamese. I attended by myself and there was one other attendee, so it was good to be able to practice. Before this, I had been trying some words / phrases from my phrasebook without much success. I feel like Bem's lesson was much more helpful than a phrasebook.
If you want to learn the culture trough the language Bem is the perfect teacher. The lesson has been a full immersion in Vietnamese lifestyle and language. I found out a lot of amazing things in a short time! I truly reccomend this experience, speaking with a local person worths more than any tour!
