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.

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
  • Make friends in the SVFF learning community

Everyday Southern group courses

Each level has a cohort with 4–8 paid students. Five days before the first session, 4–5 paid students confirm a fixed 75-minute class; 6–8 confirm a fixed 90-minute class. Confirmed cohorts keep selling until 24 hours before the first session, up to 5 seats for 75 minutes or 8 for 90 minutes.

If fewer than 4 students have paid, choose the next open cohort of the same level, keeping the price paid, or a full refund including surcharge to the original payment method within 5 working days. SVFF credit returns to the wallet. If you do not answer within 48 hours of the email, we move your seat; if no seat is available, we queue a full refund. A human approves every refund.

After the cohort starts: no cash refund; one free move to a later cohort of the same level.
