No matter how many words you learn, if you don’t feel confident speaking English, you still don’t get anywhere. Poor pronunciation (how your English sounds) is the difference between knowing English and confidently speaking it.

Native English trainers are often not familiar with how to learn a new language with different tones. Trainer Andy Le understands both Vietnamese and English. Using the Pimsleur method of communication learning, the training focuses on the similarities and differences between the two languages. By having pronunciation at the heart of this training, in just a few sessions, your speaking and listening will drastically improve.

About the presenter
Andy has had over 13 years of experience in training English. During his time teaching, he discovered consistently that pronunciation was the biggest obstacle Vietnamese learners face. Most can read and write to some degree, yet this didn’t mean that they could communicate in English effectively.

With his insight, Andy decided to spend his time focusing on pronunciation and found that it drastically improved students’ communication. Since then he has dedicated over 8 years to developing a pronunciation training course that has helped thousands of people from Vietnamese students, to office workers, doctors and even students returning from overseas.

Andy was born in 1984, and immigrated to the USA with his family when he was just 5 years old. He is currently the director of communications for Cao Thang International Eye Hospital.

We often hear that bigger is better. But when it comes to his company’s success, Phuong Tran, CEO of UX Consultancy Panic Bear, found that the opposite held true.

After building up great momentum and attracting many big name clients, Phuong realized that the true value would not come from becoming big and bulky. Instead, he realized that a lean core team with extended freelancers would be much better business in the long run, while also significantly improving the employee experience.

Join this Lunch & Learn, and hear the lessons he drew in discovering the greatness of scaling down.

About the presenter
Phuong Tran is the founder and CEO of Panic Bear Consulting, a highly skilled group of senior UX/UI talent that provides services including Branding design, UI/UX, Animation & Motion Design and Product development.

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming the global economy and society. From advanced facial recognition and automating factories and farms, to tracking the fertility of cows, Artificial Intelligence is heralding in a new age of what data can do for consumers, citizens and companies. Over just the last few years, more organizations have started developing and applying AI in various fields such as education, telecommunications, retail, healthcare and others.

So where does Vietnam stand when it comes to putting AI at the forefront of the country’s growing tech scene? In recent years, Vietnam’s AI industry has made visible strides with increasing AI content in various products. However, like many countries that prioritise AI investment, Vietnam lacks large databases, infrastructure, resources, and a solid foundation from AI businesses, putting into focus questions about how the data gets stored, governed and protected.

Join Dreamplex & the US Consulate in welcoming Daniel Castro, VP of ITIF (the world’s top think tank for science and tech policy) for an exclusive and intimate discussion around topics related to tech, digitization, data privacy and more. We will welcome you at our Trang Quang Khai location with drinks, a short presentation and an interactive Q&A.
