As a Vietnamese, I completely agree with you. There is a difference, Vietnamese people value English very much, we consider it a high-level skill. So try to integrate into Vietnamese culture, instead of Western. We are willing to pay high salaries if you do well, the problem is I also don't know who will teach well and effectively. If you know how to do that, know how to promote your business, should have free teaching so that customers can feel it, I believe you have a very high income. And you will live like a king in Vietnam. Trust me, I am a father, a businessman. Most Vietnamese people speak bad English, we also don't have faith in Vietnamese teachers, I am using Google translate kkk

​@ngothuat2045 I appreciate your opinion on that. My wife and I are seriously considering spending some time in your beautiful country.

@@wildblueworld As I said English in Vietnam is a high level skill. Because the tongue structure of Vietnamese people is different from Westerners. That's why they often pronounce it wrong. To be successful in Vietnam, you need to understand the local culture, and learn basic Vietnamese. I think it's true for every other market. That won't be difficult if you make friends with Vietnamese people, you teach English for free and they teach you Vietnamese. Let me introduce you to Dan Hauer, look for his youtube channel. He taught English for free and made a lot of money on KZfaq, but he made the stupid mistake of insulting the Vietnamese hero: General Vo Nguyen Giap. Perhaps understanding the local culture and language is the number 1 factor for success.

​​@ngothuat2045 You are absolutely correct! My wife and I have been to a few Asian countries, but only 1 day in Vietnam while passing by. We love learning new languages and cultures, I speak 3 languages, and my wife is currently learning Indonesian. When we traveled, for example, Thailand, we learn the basic words and sentences as a form of respect for the people and their culture, and they appreciate that. Also it makes a lot easier to get by and make friends. My wife also taught English in two Asian countries before. She's a professional cook and I'm a photographer, so we would LOVE to visit Vietnam for the food, culture, the people, teach English, and make a beautiful photo book of the country, its culture, traditions and the people. We will definitely go there, maybe for 3 months, or 6, 12, who knows. Maybe we will meet you there 😂, who knows. Big mistake the guy talking bad about the General, not good at all. I hope he learned his lesson. But I'll check his channel. Thanks for your opinions and information 🤝@@ngothuat2045

Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi have a lot of job opportunities, as well as smaller cities throughout the country.

There's no official policy about how many times you can exit and re-enter on a tourist visa as far as I'm aware, so can't say for sure how many times you can do it.

Da Nang is the most competitive city in Vietnam to secure teaching jobs in as it’s a tourist city and has only a handful of English centers that are rarely hiring. Even the most experienced and qualified teachers typically struggle to secure work there.

@@ninja.teacher Oh. Thank you for telling me this. It's useful to me.

There is a gap between Chinese and Vietnamese, you know, we fought for thousands of years. However, I guarantee that Vietnamese people are very friendly, even with Chinese, Americans, French. If you overcome the gap, open your heart, be honest, objective... I think you will succeed in Vietnam. Vietnam will become China's number 2 trading partner in the next 1-2 years, the opportunity to get rich is bigger. I think you should create 2 youtube channels, one channel for Vietnamese people, one channel for Chinese people, you should avoid political issues and arguments. Da Nang is a very good start, you must know basic Vietnamese communication. I hope you will have a beautiful Vietnamese wife if you don't have a family yet, sorry I don't know if you are male or female. Good luck

@@ngothuat2045 Wow！Thank you a lot. It's helpful to me. I'm not sure yet but I maybe find a job in Thailand. Because I just graduate from Thai university. By the way,I'm gay. Lol! I prefer to find a western man to be my husband. Never mind. I agree with your opinions. Even I'm living in China, I also have to avoid any political opinions on China. You know Chinese situations on the news. We are controlled by our government using many ways.

@@josperchristian886 You are very open about your sexuality, Good. I think you can already communicate in Thai, understand Thai culture. So moving to other countries is a big waste. You know China has excess production capacity, they need to push their goods to other countries, including Thailand, that is your opportunity. Besides, Thailand is quite behind other countries in Southeast Asia such as Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia in terms of economic development, they are having to solve this headache. Paetongtarn Shinawatra, will continue the policies of the former prime minister: Srettha Thavisin, because they are in the same party and so there will not be much change because that is foolish. Paetongtarn Shinawatra will be advised by her father, former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, and Srettha Thavisin. I think she will continue to improve the Thai economy, because that is a must if Thailand does not want to fall behind. There will be a gap in the new policy and that is your chance to get rich kkk

Yes, it’s definitely still possible to get hired in 2024. We are able to help all our 4 week in-class TEFL course participants secure work after graduation each month. There is always a turnover of teachers in Vietnam (as the majority of foreign teachers do not stay in Vietnam forever) so jobs regularly become available. Bear in mind that our program contains a lot of teaching practicum and we have a good reputable with employers in Vietnam because of the quality of our training. If you only have an online TEFL with no teaching practicum, and no experience teaching, it could be more challenging to secure employment as schools select the most qualified teachers from their options. I’d say the market is about the same as it was pre-covid. I think people who are saying it’s not good right now are probably comparing it to how it was right after COVID where schools were more desperate for teachers, so naturally it’s not the same as that now that things have returned to normal.

I don't recall exactly how many of our program participants are from that region but I'm pretty sure we've had quite a few. I believe Colin who I interview a few videos back is from Arizona.

I keep hearing this more and more lately, too. I'd also like to know the answer to this. Thanks!

Online teachers are bit saturated so I can imagine teaching at the centers and schools in VN can be saturated also

@@ninja.teacher Alex that's not true. You have overpromoted teaching in VN so there are now way too many teachers. As a result, salaries are collapsing to the point that many foreign teachers are leaving VN because they cannot afford to live there on teaching wages.

I think that is an overexageration tbh I think wages are stagnating but not decreasing and you can still earn a decent wage.There are definitely are still plenty of opportunities out there.

@@timothydamoulis2574 You are delusional. I don't "overexaggerate." Opportunities in a communist country? You have rocks in your head. Viets are risking their lives to GTFO of VN! There are 0 opportunities in VN. It's corrupt AF.

This article was entirely based on 3 anecdotal cases that aren't reflective of what we are seeing in the market. They made some bizarre claims about the hourly rates of teachers that are far below all the offers our TEFL course graduates receive.

​@@ninja.teacher Alex, the thing is VNExpress has no financial stake in twisting this story. YOU DO, so of course you're going to claim it's not representative. The article had no bizarre claims. They didn't make this up. I've spoken with teachers who confirmed that wages have come down because they are now too many teachers in VN.

We have a video on this, just search “ninja teacher Vietnam salary” and it should come up. Or you can download our salary, living expenses and start-up costs guide: ninjateacher.com/free-guide

ESL teachers often earn from 32 to 45 million in the first year or two if they work normal hours

@@ninja.teacher Thank you

Phạm vi khá rộng, một người bạn canada của tôi nhận lương 1,800$/month. Một người bạn đức khác 2000$/month. Cả hai đều làm toàn thời gian 8h/ngày, 5 ngày/ tuần.

@@ocmanga5685 whats that 😂 I suppose this is a Vietnamese language .. but I do not speak it.

A degree in any subject and a TEFL is sufficient for working in English centers and public schools in Vietnam.

There are many part-time teaching jobs available where you can teach just a few classes a week. You can also find tutoring work too, yes.

I am in my 2nd year English literature would l get a job

I think that's a bad idea because of the low rate of students paying for English over there and teachers living there.

None of them

Ok.

Ok.

We are able to help secure jobs for all of our in-class TEFL graduates, regardless of their background.

@@ninja.teacher would you say the same for your online TEFL course?

@@nickidogmGi6863 We aren't able to accurately track what jobs our online TEFL graduates get because they may go on to teach in various countries or teach online etc, and we also don't collect that demographic info so can't answer for sure.
