Thao and her husband were very kind to me from the beginning, they make you feel at home and their children are adorable and want to learn English, with them I was able to connect more with Vietnamese culture, I offered a few times to help in the kitchen and they gladly taught me, also Thao cooks really delicious. I highly recommend coming to stay with them at least a week so that the children have continuity in their English and also you can learn a little bit of Vietnamese :)

Main missions: teach English to the children of the village and sometimes help in the kitchen. Despite the language barrier, Thao and Duan are adorable and know how to welcome their hosts! I had a great time with this family
