Hi,

Thank you for your response! Wow that's a lot of people wanting to learn French! We could almost switch the language on these posts to get you folks started! Thanks for proposing help with my job search, I might be looking to teach English in the future even though for now I want to concentrate on what I am really experienced in (which is Marketing/admissions/alumni and corporate relations management for Universities). Once I am settled we could organize little conversational classes in French if you wish! And you could teach me Vietnamese!

Just in case if there is any potential employers who read this post, here is my resume (even though this is not the object of this post) :

That's a good idea. We can switch language. I like French for a long time, but can just studied for a few months. I look forward to seeing you. .

The most important in French like with any language is to practice regularly!

Le plus important en Français comme dans toutes les langues est de pratiquer régulièrement!

Yes,sir , We need to practice when we learn language. Thats the most important thing.

Hi Jeremy,

Nice to meet you and welcome to HCMC. Hope you will enjoy the life here and have a nice time experiencing a new life in a different country :-)

Cheers.

Check out yola.vn. They're one of the leading test prep and college admission services in HCMC. I know they're focusing on marketing and branding at this moment if that's something you want to do.

International schools took a big hit a couple of years back with licensing issue. I think the only one left now is RMIT.

hi. have a nice time in viet nam. if u want to any help from me. u can contact with me.

Hi Jeremy,

I have just read your post and I wonder if you still want to meet up and hang out with Vietnamese friends. I and my friends can take you get around to let you know more Ho chi minh city. I am sure the price is as cheap as possible, just for fun. For example, we can show you an outdoor place where a lots of young people sit on the ground and drink together. If you prefer, let me know.

Cheers,

Tam

Thanks for your answers!

@ ngohly : Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely send them a resume! Actually I already have a few solid leads regarding International schools.

@ ntntam : Thanks for the offer, I'm not looking to really visit in a tourist sort of sense. But if you want to meet up for a drink sometime I'd be glad to

That's the kind of work I'd ideally like to do. Once you're successful in your job search, could you share tips on how to find education related jobs for non-teachers? That'd be great!

Good luck on your move!

Hi Jeremy,

Welcome to HCM city, and hope you enjoy your first week in here. I think you will figure out more things about "culture shock" in Viet Nam (Just a kidding).

I would love to hear your new experiences in VietNam, can you share your ideas about our country?

Cheers,
