Oh my gosh, Steph is an amazing teacher! She took the time to ensure small groups of children were speaking and repeating. In this way, she could ensure that no child was missing out on a learning opportunity. Her annunciation was awesome! Many teachers do not take the time to pronounce words clearly, which is very important.

[@Dadewey88]

Should be having students answer “it’s a pencil” but was good besides that. Important not to let them fall into only using one word answers

[@HuynhQuynh134]

wow, thank you very much. Steph , love your job. Beautiful little kids.

[@willhatfield6228]

Kudos to you Steph!

[@Aurelsnaturalfitness]

Excellent! I love this!🤗🙌🏻

[@authenticlightworker1199]

Giving back to your small little town :)) that’s beautiful . Thank u Jenny, Stef and Alex

[@formica.]

Great for the community, English language opens doors to higher education and modern jobs.

[@MylesGmail]

Very interesting! Thank u!

[@ptiaptia7347]

Awesome teacher.

[@morgankovarik3649]

I just realized that in 2017 when I was visiting there I actually walked by that building multiple times. Every time I watch the different videos things about that area looks familiar to me but until you actually walked in front of the market I didn't realize where it was.

[@stahnflare8776]

It's nice to see you create contents like this. This is such an inspiration for me to come up with more interesting contents to share how teaching life is like here in Vietnam. I wouldn't be able to film my classes due to our Company's policy but hopefully I can come up with similar content.

[@nandorbacso4625]

Hey, you say content in the plural as "content" not "contents" :)

[@stahnflare8776]

@@nandorbacso4625 there's a plural form for content. And this is my subjective POV since I'm referring to the different categories he makes on his channel.

take good care there Bro, greetings from Indonesia..Teaching English is my mission here in Indonesia as an Indonesian once was working outside our country.

[@vasilispappas6215]

Interesting!!! I wish could work there!!

That center is the nicest building in the town!

[@eddiewheeler5013]

Way to go Steph and Jenny!

[@truckn]

Hey Alex you should have given people info on accommodations while you walked around the Mekong Delta. Watching this video really tugs at my heart because of how much I love Vietnam and Thailand. Thanks for this and Be well.👍😎

[@formica.]

That town looks too small for accommodations. Agoda and Airbnb are pretty good sources. Lots of homestays down there too.

[@formica.]

In Google map, search for the name of the school: "ngoia ngu super minds". It is a village! But there are lots of bigger towns on the northern Mekong. So far I've stayed in My Tho, Vinh Long, Sa Dec (flower nurseries), and Cao Lanh which I liked the best.

[@bayleejohnston1433]

I would love to do this !

[@AbdulRahman-vz2ng]

Mekong Delta nice place.I hv visited My Tho & Can Tho

[@stevelewis1935]

Are you close to Vinh Long? I was an American soldier there many years ago . Happy to see the people doing well.

[@mingming9604]

good to see kids starting to learn at young age which is very good. What is the tuition for each kid? How do you communicate with kids at the beginning when they know zero english?

[@davidbarrett8058]

STEPH... best teacher ever! Zombie master

[@timpham3200]

Thanks Stephanie for what you do. Kids could be hands full at times 😂

[@damiryakubov1428]

Like your shades in this video. What make are they?

[@mralbertteacheralbert8619]

@1:10 this is wonderful such small classes! Is this typical?

[@akwasifrimpong9285]

very well. so when are you commencing your in-person training assuming the person is already in vietman

[@TuwanaVining]

The energy in Steph's classes were awesome from what I saw. There was probably no way to save the mural from the old location. It was beautiful. Hopefully you guys will find another great location with an amazing view. Later I definitely will sign up for the in-class course as it would be very helpful. Awesome content as usual, never expect less from Ninja Teacher. Best of luck to you all.

[@scottisitt]

The mural was the first thing I thought about when he mentioned they'd moved.

[@susanvansittert3863]

I am really interested in moving to Vietnam. Did a TEFL course. Would like to get info....🙂🙃🙂🙂

[@yongxing1848]

I am interested in becoming a teacher

[@miserycodebeats1722]

Hello! Will having a full sleeve ( not on hand ) limit me in Vietnam or can you just hide it ? Thanks !

Mekong Delta has another English name: South Cochin.

[@cancelking4805]

Atleast you have projectors..

[@kathanquan]

Wonder what is the fee for these children taking the classes.

[@yasinstar]

Hi bro, is it possible to work in Vietnam as english teacher without a degree? Do you think schools are accepting teachers Who doesn't have a degree?

[@_life_of_jodie_]

Does Steph have a instagram or Facebook page we can follow?

[@ClappingForChlamydia]

Did you get these kids' parents' permission to post this online?

Hello, sir! I need help if you can answer me in person or someone here watching this video and has experience teaching English in VN. I am from Algeria and I have been teaching English for 9 years. I have just started the procedure to move to Vietnam with Up2u agency whose manager is gonna look for a job contract for me. I wanna know which city is better to teach there? A countryside or a big city ?! How is the life there comparing to teachers' salary ?! Is everything affordable ?! PS: I wanna move with my 2 years old daughter . Thanks in advance for your answer.❤💜

[@rashiiweaver4230]

Hi, are your In person TEFL courses back up and running? If so, what do you need to do if you are interested in joining The organization?

[@ninja.teacher]

Hey, they’re currently suspended until travel restrictions to Vietnam are lifted but you can get in touch with us www.ninjateacher.com to stay up to date on when we start running them again.

Hey in seeking a sponsorship to help me get a business visa to fly to Vietnam. Any advice? I have tefl cert and financial support. I need a career change! Looks amazing 😍

[@ninja.teacher]

At the moment it's difficult to find a company to sponsor you and very expensive. We'll post an update when the situation is better.

[@DungForever]

I legit thought about applying to teach English in Vietnam but it's so scary because I am a native Vietnamese speaker but I haven't spoken Vietnamese conversationally for over a decade. I was afraid I lost it and didn't want to embarrass myself. I genuinely appreciate the work you're doing! Keep it up!

[@formica.]

No foreign English teachers can speak Vietnamese. Students will love that you are from overseas, their idea of dream life. Also Vietnamese and Thai are not at all judgmental like you are used to in the West.

[@inn0c3ntang3lkiss]

You will be fine as long as you avoid the "small" schools that only want white foreigners. I'm Vietnamese and taught back in 2019 in Saigon. I met a Vietnamese girl from the States and she taught just fine. We didn't use Vietnamese in the school at all and honestly, it didn't matter if you know the language or not. As long as you can teach and the kids connect with you, you're good.

[@doraemonalloffriends3290]

I am from Vietnam

[@kathanquan]

We wouldn't know with that name 🤣

Hi. I am looking for an English teacher to teach in North of Vietnam. Can you please help me?

[@Trudy_apparel]

I am an English teacher in Ghana and will love to teach at Vietnam

[@sethlogee]

Why do they not call it a farmer’s market instead of “Wet”?

[@formica.]

Traditional markets have different sections. The wet market is literally wet - picture fish in tubs, shellfish, raw meat hanging, butchers, water everywhere. The dry section will have packaged food, spices, coffee, housewares. Usually a sit down to eat, or take out prepared meal area too. And big motorbike parking zone.

[@STGill-gw3ck]

How can i apply as teacher in Vietnam ?

I am interesed in doing the course , need more information

See the video notes

[@Joshie1977]

Wow. Great video… but the female speech is wrong. It’s not Draw ING. It’s Drawing Without the R. Lol

[@brandonnguyen9555]

Here is my question, how are you allowed to teach english when you are not even a native speaker or without any accent...its weird

[@davidtaliaferro]

Why are they teaching English in rural Vietnam?

[@Frankd22003]

Learning new language isn't condoned to urban areas only.

[@dongnguyen558]

As long you know English, you can teach it. Don’t matter which race you are... right?

[@thhdhn2]

Yes, you can teach them slang language. Like, you talk “ wood “

[@dongnguyen558]

Teaching English slang is funny. If they understand.

[@formica.]

Helps a lot to get a job if you have a college degree and are a native speaker from one of the big 7 English speaking countries.

[@dongnguyen558]

@@formica. what are those 7 countries?

[@formica.]

@@dongnguyen558 Hey it is a good quiz for you, not hard! Ok: US, Canada, UK, Ireland, So Africa, Australia, New Zealand. That list is from the English Centers, private schools, that they put in advertisements. It is about accents. Parents assume teachers from those schools are the best so the English centers prefer them. However, in real life, there are lots of European, Russian, and Philippines teachers in Vietnam too.
