VieTalk offers virtual beginner and intermediate Vietnamese language courses. The nonprofit project was founded by Tien Truong, undergraduate at UC Berkeley, and aims to offer free Vietnamese classes to the community. Tien is not a member of An Bang Village, but has taught more than 300 students to date from all speaking proficiency backgrounds. We highly recommend this amazing resource for learning Vietnamese.

The Vietnamese-English Exchange Discord Server is a place for connecting with others interested in exchanging Vietnamese and English language and culture. Learning a language is hard and looking for someone to practice this language with is almost impossible without the internet. Luckily, this is a place where people love Vietnam and its language.

The Vietnamese Boat People podcast is stories of hope, survival and resilience. Between 1975 to 1992, almost two million Vietnamese risked their lives to flee oppression and hardship after the Vietnam War, in one of the largest mass exoduses in modern history. Escaping by boat, many found freedom in foreign land, many were captured and brutally punished, and many did not survive the journey. This population of people are known as the ‘Vietnamese Boat People‘ and these are their stories. Visit www.vietnameseboatpeople.org for more details. Get involved with their organization as an Ambassador.

The Vietnamese Boat People organization created the VBP Conversation Kit in hopes to empower those interested in capturing and preserving the stories of the Vietnamese community. The kit is designed to be a fun activity for two people, a small group or an entire family. It includes a set of questions in four categories to help spark the conversation, a list of major historical events to provide context and the basics on how to record the conversations to preserve it. Download the kit on their website.

The Vietnamese Podcast is hosted by Kenneth Nguyen where he spotlights notable Vietnamese professionals in sectors around the world. Each episode explores the creative process of individuals shaping the diversity of what it means to be Vietnamese--as a local, born and raised, or as a third culture kid, and even the divisions that separate us politically and culturally. This show can take multiple directions, but what it will do is show Vietnamese from a transpacific lens, in all its facets and complexities.
