Fall 2021 - I LOVED CO THU BA SO MUCH! This is a review for the entire Vietnamese Heritage Learners series 1A-3A! I took it online but she said her format is going to be similar in person. It was a lot of notetaking, practicing on your own through homework, recording yourself speaking, and small projects. She really makes the classroom feel not really a class but more like a family/club! She is really funny and fun to listen to her lectures! If you have never spoken Viet before and only can listen to Viet a little bit, you'll be fine! She starts from the beginning and makes sure to break things down for you or to clarify things in English. Just a lot of busy work with notes and projects like singing a song or group projects on the history of Vietnam but it definitely helps your practice! Discussions are long but my TA was nice enough to let us go early sometimes and definitely a good time to practice. Even though this is a 5 unit, it did not feel like one at all, very calm workload, and definitely didn't feel too much at all when taking 3 other classes with Viet! TAKE IT WITH CO THU BA!
