What a superb interview to give viewers a glance into the life of a South African expats here. She is a giddy and brisk young fellow. Personally, I also know a South African teacher in Vietnam who escaped the mental torment of divorce which haunted him for years. Now he has married a Vietnamese woman and definitely loves his life.

Good job man! I'm a 51yr old Viet Kieu and wished I would have taken on an adventure like yours. Congrats and enjoy the ride!

Fantastic! I really enjoyed the open and honest interview here. You asked her great questions that got great insight from her. I share her view that life in Vietnam is wonderful and My wife is Vietnamese from Hanoi and I'm a bit of a mix.. born in the Caribbean, grew up in Canada and now working in the US.. But although I have a great job, I really don't want to stay here. I met my wife there while visiting an old friend and we have been back to Vietnam many times over the last 10 years. We both want to move to Vietnam with our two kids in the near future but I am still trying to figure out what I would do there. I had a conversation with someone at the Canadian embassy and he advised similarly that the best way to find a job is to be in the country. As a black man, I was really apprehensive at first but fell in love with the country and the people/culture and found the culture amazingly open and welcoming. Honestly, I have the best time and never felt freer than when in Vietnam. This interview I think pushes me one step forward in formalizing plans to move there. At least I am familiar with the language and culture already. But not sure as a well educated black person what my options are if I am not working for a foreign entity. I guess I could start a business.. Seems like that is a thing. I would love to see you have someone talk more in depth about foreigners opening businesses in Vn if you haven't already developed that content. Thanks! :)

Great personality, especially when she opened up about how she supports her parents! She should open her own center for sure

In Vietnam if you're a foreigner and speak basic Vietnamese words the daily life is much more fun because the locals are amazed😁

Thanks Peter for the vid & to Rebecca for the interview. I'm glad that she spoke about the income disparity among teachers and that it depends on one's skin color. I think another interviewee (Chris?) spoke of that too. She seems like a lovely & level headed young lady. Good luck to her & your endeavours.

Awesome interview. You needed to spread your wings. I am so proud of you❤ 18:57

great interview!

She is an awesome interviewee! Very interesting and full of awesome personality! Love her!

Great stuff. Looking forward to my move there next year. Looking forward to teaching and helping others. Glad to hear some pay rates. I see stuff all over the board.

One of the better interviews

Informative interview. Would be interesting to see her daily YT vlogs while teaching.

great vid! subbed! few tips, add currency rates as subtitltes. break up follow-up questions instead of asking a few at once.

Amazing interniew!

She’s at an age where it’s shows her professionalism n growth, Việt Nam or any other country should be grateful to have people like her. She’s 100% right about the Whites that have a grudge against any race or nationality that they have zero knowledge of, the bad sound bites from their news media does not help. For 100yrs it’s been China this or Chinese that ,it’s sickening, the toxicity can’t be cure.

Very smart, hard working woman!

Is it culturally frowned upon to stay in Vietnam for a year renewing 90 Day tourist visas? I meandered around Vietnam for 3 months in 2006 and fell in love with this incredible country.

Getting better at interviewing, however let them finish answering before taking the microphone prematurely and then ask her another question. I've notice you taken the microphone back when she's still talking. Practice makes perfect =)

you should interview Esiri !!

I like the comment about being a native-speaking South African. Not all South Africans are native English speakers, it's a fact. The authorities and schools should check the grade 12 certificates of potential teachers. If the certificate has English as the first language, then in all probability, they are English-speaking. However, if it states any other language is the candidate's first language, in that case, they shouldn't be teaching English unless they have a degree with English as a major as they are definitely not native English speakers.

VN is too cool, just got back after my 3rd visit .

VN is also cheap until you don't have any money then you will see how the locals treat you. Vietnamese love rich foreigners who spend their money foolishly and easy to be scammed. So one friendly advice : make as much money as you can (as English teacher for example) and prepare the retreat as soon as you can.

Does Vietnam still prefer White English teachers over Asian? A few years ago, a Viet Kieu KZreadr said while both he and his wife are teachers, his wife got hired on her first interview because she is White. He interviewed at several places but never got an offer. Then, someone finally told him that Vietnamese parents (being ignorant) only want their children to learn English from White teachers. Doesn't matter if the guy was borned in America and spoke English without an accent :(

Hmm depending on where the teacher is , $1000 /month is an average . House prices , mine is only $130k , houses are not given away . Yes , you will earn more as a teacher in Vietnam . Heard what a niece was earning , was told 9 years ago , could make $3-4 k a month . Go live in Nam , for sure !

You can buy a house or rent an apartment in VN but always select your neighbors who think and act like yourself and not mingle with locals because it will cause you a lot of trouble by not understanding their habits and culture. And remember nobody will say bad things about you because you are coming to VN and making a good living as an English teacher than finding a job and “respect” in your own country.

These people want escape the hustle and hard work in their own city That’s the new generation I want the easier way in life and fly to low economy country

To : youknowkbbaby Mexican accent to Spanish accent is similar to Quebecois accent to French accent. That’s what I meant!

How easy is it to illegally work in Vietnam as a Viet Kieu? Do you have any experience or may know someone? Know anyone who got caught? And were they fined and/or deported? Unless you are a digital nomad, have a work permit, or have savings, I assume you would have to work illegally if you plan to live in Vietnam for several years.

You don’t need to speak Vietnamese when you are in the country. The reason is people who don’t understand or speak English belong to the working class and it’s just fun for them that you try to speak to them in Vietnamese. However if you want to make a living in VN by teaching English you should play dumb and limit your Vietnamese speaking skill to a minimum because your students expect you to teach them and converse with them in English and not Vietnamese. May be I am wrong but Vietnamese who can afford to pay someone to teach them English are very “arrogant” and want to show off a lot and it’s not their fault because the media keeps telling them that VN is #1 and soon will surpass even Singapore. One typical example is when they won a soccer match vs Thailand they paraded in the streets, insulted the Thai’s players and partied all night to wake up drunk and go to work for a company owned by Thai’s business man.

You should learn the language to respect and understand the culture/land.

Well interesting. If you are black or color people then you make less money with the same position in Viet Nam. So in the US the companies treat people better. I came from Viet Nam in the 80s, got scholarship and studied computer engineering. At that time, the magazine "Times" wrote an article about us "Jewish children of the 80s" about the Viet kids in the university who studied science, engineering, ... the professors only said "We did not recommend you to enter STEM, ...." Well to be practical, we are from poor country we need to study whatever that easy to find job and make a lot of money. Electronic Design Automation did make a lot of money in the past and now due to Artificial Intelligent and the paid not bad.

Again, great video.. I just wanted to make a comment about her comment about arrogant white folks in the country. My friend who was working there that I visited when I first went to Hanoi was in the international development domain. I was honestly a little shocked at some of the comments I heard from a friend of hers who apparently thought very little of the people and culture he was there to help. I don't think any but one of the white folks I met there actually took the time to learn the language despite being there for several years. What a loss for them I suppose.

It will be fair to KZread viewers that you also interview people who are disappointed after living in VN and plan to go back to their countries. Otherwise the viewers will think you are paid by the Vietnamese propaganda department. I don't believe that 100% of the people who chose VN to live is a realistic figure. It will be interesting to know why people are disappointed of their choice when moving to VN in the 1st place.
