    *We are experiencing an overload of messages at the moment. We'll try to respond as much as we could, thank you for your message.

    Hi gorgeous people! We are an English and love-based Cafe in Da Nang city, the Central of Vietnam where local people can come to practice their English and exchange cultures with foreigners. Our mission is to

    - Create a friendly atmosphere for local people to practice their English freely, make mistake freely and improve it steadily, and for foreigners to learn the local culture, lifestyles and make meaningful connection with Vietnamese friends.
    - Help passionate individuals to learn English to be able to communicate fluently in English.

    We organise weekly shows: Movies discussion, Game & Talk show , Live Acoustic Music...You may be invited as a guest speaker to share with Vietnamese students about your country, your school, your journey, your knowledge in some certain fields...
    A lot of students here can be a tour guide to take you around Da Nang city so that they also can practice their English and exchange culture with foreigners.

    Work is about 4-5days/week, depends on our timetable and shift is 3-3.5hr/day with mostly evening shifts for week days and morning for the weekend.

    If you find we could be a fit, please message us with a couple of followings:
    - A concise introduction of yourself (please keep it as concise as you can)
    - Your experience in teaching language (adult/kids/...) or organise events or managing social medias - If you don't have any, that's totally okay - we're all here to learn from each other!
    - Any relevant skills or hobbies that you got
    - Your availability
    *and if you are not a native English speaker, please let us know about your English level and speaking skill.


    Lastly, we have been building up this active, dynamic community for almost 10 years now, from the very beginning to nowadays with love and intention, and yet still we're encountering mistakes or incompleteness sometimes but every mistake or success is a lesson to learn from. We do and encourage you to try your best to learn together and learn from each other .

    Therefore, we truly hope that once you come, regardless of what your background is, you will find the cafe an ideal place to relax, to learn and to emerge in the wonderful culture of Vietnam through knowlege-exchanging, engaging, mind-opening conversation. Be open, be willing to give and try, then everything shall fall into place ♥


    Thank you for contacting and your kind heart.

    What we ask from the volunteers:

    - Help us with our English classes: we have adult classes and once a week they'll have a reviewing session where students review the lessons + practice speaking. There will be one regular Vietnamese teacher that helps with translation and your job will be to ask the questions given + give feedback (pronunciation, grammar, coherence...). If you happen to have any ideas on games or creative, funny teaching methods, please go ahead and implement it!

    - Help us with our kids class: we have 3 groups of kid students (6-10yr old and 3-6 yr old) with 2 lessons of vocabulary per week.
    For those who have had experience working with children, these might be your places. You're free to teach the children in whichever way you wanted to, as long as it keeps the class in proper and fun atmosphere. The 3-6 yr old group, especially, requires a lot of energy.

    - Chat and make conversation with customers at the cafe about multiple topics.
    This is a pretty laid back job but also requires a certain amount of energy. We're looking for outgoing, chatty people who specifically love to talk and be able to host a group of 2-5 students to make them practice speaking (some can be a bit passive at times)
    You can discuss and talk about any topics that you're interested in, or follow students topics and expand them along.

    - Observe and plan the weekly activities for the cafe (Plan - Content - Script ...). We usually have sharing - discussing - Q&A shows with 1-2 volunteers as the hosts. We welcome any of you that have had experience on this before and appreciate any idea you might be having.
    We usually discuss on the activities together 3-4 days in advance. We do have ideas for each time but it would also be very cool to have fresh new suggestions.
