The classes were full of conversations, exchanges of information, discussions of cultural and social issues. They all tried to give comments and expressed their own views on the issues. They didn’t hesitate to ask questions whenever they didn’t understand clearly or they wanted to know about something. Their learning spirit was commendable; they all studied and completed the homeworks well, paid attention for self-correction as the teacher reminds them, which made the class-time became more effective.

Apart from class-time, the students also participated in extracurricular activities such as attending a cooking class at teacher's house, visiting the Museum of Vietnamese History.

In the cooking class, they were instructed to make some traditional Vietnamese dishes such as pancakes, spring-rolls. They all loved to make the pancakes and spring-rolls by themselves in the house of the Vietnamese family. Everyone was so happy to have a fun and rewarding experience.

The trip to the Museum of Vietnamese History with the guidance of a Vietnamese historian and the teacher in charge of the class also left a deep impression for them. Thanks to this trip, they gained more knowledge about Vietnamese history. The stories from the historian helped them to reinforce and understand more deeply about the knowledge they have learned. All of them wanted to have more time at the museum.
