💼 What the programme involves

-- Recently, a close relationship and bilateral collaboration between Vietnam and Japan has been promoted and continues developing. The number of Japanese investors in Vietnam has been rising in many fields including education, human resources and labor training, preventing climate change, and culture exchange. Cooperation in education and training between the two countries has developed in many forms. Japan is one of the largest non-refundable aid providers in the education and training sector in Vietnam. Therefore, many students in Vietnam choose studying Japanese as a second language for their future job. Please join this project to help students make their dream come true and contribute to fostering the partnership between the two countries. When learning Chinese, Vietnamese students will have more opportunities to access traditional Chinese culture, learn new cultures and other ways of seeing the world. Learning Chinese helps students to understand more deeply, through the grammatical origin of the culture behind the words. Is this a great opportunity for young people who know Chinese and want to develop themselves? China invests in the Vietnamese market with many long-term investments. It is unmistakable that Vietnam and China are neighbors, no matter how deep the relationship between the two countries, a deep understanding of a giant neighbor is a long-standing strategy of Vietnam. However, the fact that learning Chinese is extremely difficult. Chinese is the most complex language in the world. A word is rarely translated a single meaning into another language, because it all depends on the context. Coming from another culture and listening to native speakers is like going to a friend's party and trying to understand the jokes inside. Today, China can be considered as one of the world powers (after the United States). It can not be denied that China is the cradle of human civilization. With this project, SJ Vietnam wishes to give more chance for students to learn, exchange culture and actively take advantage of career opportunities with high and attractive salary in their near future. ---Work: Participating every regular class and provide vocal pronunciation when needed. Volunteers will organize after-class activities including extra pronunciation&speaking class, cooking class, movie etc. They will have daily close communication with teachers and students to understand their problems and needs.
