Summer courses are part of the Vietnamese language and culture training program at foreign universities with Vietnamese majors and training cooperation with the Faculty of Vietnamese Studies and Vietnamese Language. In the summer of 2014, the Faculty of Vietnamese Studies and Vietnamese Language successfully organized Vietnamese language and culture courses (part of the Summer study tour program at universities) for nearly 60 students from TOKYO University of Foreign Languages, DAITOBUNKA University (Japan) and CHUNGWOON University (Korea).
Within the framework of the summer Vietnamese language internship program, students are not only provided with basic knowledge and practical skills in Vietnamese, but also learn and practice interesting activities about Vietnamese culture such as: learning to perform traditional Vietnamese musical instruments, learning to sing Vietnamese folk songs, practicing preparing Vietnamese dishes, presenting course results reports, visiting Korean and Japanese companies in Hanoi, exchanging and exploring Hanoi with Vietnamese students of the Faculty of Vietnamese Studies and Vietnamese Language, visiting famous scenic spots and historical sites of Vietnam, etc.

The dedication of the faculty and staff, along with the interesting experiences during the summer internship, left many deep memories and good impressions in the hearts of international students. Representatives of the delegation leaders also expressed their deep gratitude and hope to continue developing training cooperation with the Faculty of Vietnamese Studies and Vietnamese Language, University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University, Hanoi.
The above summer learning activities not only help foreign students improve their Vietnamese language skills and understanding of Vietnam but also serve as a bridge connecting people-to-people diplomacy activities between Vietnam and international friends.
