Group Classes — How They Work

Learning Together: SVFF Group Classes

Group classes are a fun, affordable way to practise Vietnamese with other learners and a qualified teacher. They're perfect for building conversational skills and learning from your peers.

How Group Classes Differ from 1-on-1 Lessons

Finding Group Classes

1. Go to Group Classes from the main navigation.
2. Browse upcoming sessions — each one shows the topic, level (A1–C2), teacher, date/time, and number of seats remaining.
3. Filter by level, topic, or time of day to find classes that suit you.

Popular Class Topics

• Conversation Practice — guided discussions on everyday topics
• Pronunciation Workshop — focus on tones, vowels, and common mistakes
• News Discussion — read and discuss a short Vietnamese news article
• Grammar Clinic — deep dive into a specific grammar point
• Culture & Customs — learn about Vietnamese traditions through language

Booking a Group Class

1. Click on a class to see the full description and teacher bio.
2. Click Join Class — 2 credits are deducted from your balance.
3. You'll receive a confirmation email with the video call link.
4. A reminder is sent 1 hour before the class starts.

Classes have a minimum of 3 students. If fewer than 3 students book, the class will be cancelled and your credits will be returned to your account — this is the only case where credits are refunded. You can then use those credits for any other SVFF service (other group classes, 1-on-1 lessons, AI features, etc.).

What to Expect

Group classes are interactive and structured:

• The teacher introduces the topic and key vocabulary (10 min).
• Students practise in pairs or small groups using breakout rooms (30 min).
• The class comes back together for a group discussion and feedback (20 min).

Don't worry about your level — classes are grouped by CEFR level so everyone is at a similar stage.

Benefits of Group Learning

• More affordable than 1-on-1 lessons
• Learn from other students' questions and mistakes
• Build confidence speaking in front of others
