The Vietnamese with Kenneth Nguyen

We dive into the work he’s doing by teaching the Vietnamese language to overseas Vietnamese American and other students, and the importance of cultural preservation in today’s world.

Additionally, Chris shares exciting details about his new venture, the Heritage Tour, where he takes people on immersive journeys to explore Vietnam’s rich history and heritage.
