Esl Unscripted | Exploring The Lives Of English Language Learners, Teachers, Expats And Non-native Speakers Around The World. |

Episode 07 is a nice chat with Ivy, a 4th year university student from Ho Chi Minh City. She is our second local guest from Vietnam and will test your ears once again with her strong accent and speaking manner.   Ivy was a student of mine from three years ago when I lived and worked in HCMC. We kept in touch over the years and she was so nice to meet me for coffee during my very short trip back there earlier this month. During our very informal chat, I asked Ivy if she’d mind being interviewed for the show and, although nervous, she agreed.   Here are some of the key points from our discussion:   Working 7 days per week Being a university student in Vietnam Favorite places to go out with friends The rules for motorbike riding The lifestyle in Vietnam Her favorite TV shows for learning English The hardest part about studying English in Vietnam Her favorite classroom activity   Here are some links to the TV shows Ivy mentions and the game, Charades:   How I Met Your Mother   http://www.imdb.com/title/tt046064
