Speaking at the ceremony, Nguyen Manh Dong, Vice Chairman of the State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese, thanked the lecturers for their dedication in imparting knowledge, sharing valuable experiences, and creating a dynamic and effective learning environment. Their professionalism significantly contributed to the success of the Training Course.

Through the Training Course, he hopes that each trainee will become an ambassador for spreading the love of the Vietnamese language to overseas Vietnamese, their families, and communities. It also helps teachers broaden their understanding of the nation's history and culture, deepening their love and pride for their homeland. This inspiration aids teachers in conveying both language knowledge and national spirit to generations of Vietnamese people living abroad.

"With the knowledge and skills acquired in this training course, I believe teachers will successfully apply them in practice. Vietnamese language classes will not only be a place for learning but also for igniting a love for the homeland in young overseas Vietnamese," said Nguyen Manh Dong.

After the course, she plans to coordinate with the Vietnamese community in Thailand to set up classes and facilities to teach and spread Vietnamese, helping generations in Thailand connect with their homeland through the language.

Tran Dinh Linh Phuong, a Vietnamese in Switzerland, shared her positive experience of using Vietnamese abroad. She felt proud of her mother tongue and, after the training course, felt even more committed to teaching it to generations born in Switzerland.
