Viet language taught at Malaysian university

The Vietnamese language and culture is an optional subject at the Universiti Malaya (UM) - one of the top public universities in Malaysia. Let’s take a look!

About 100-140 students from Malaysia, China, India, and Indonesia at the Faculty of Languages and Linguistics of the university are learning Vietnamese language and culture.

The faculty offered Viet language courses from its establishment until 2017 when its only lecturer retired. The courses were resumed in 2023 after Vietnamese Master of Linguistics Nguyen Thuy Thien Huong was employed.

At the recently-held 52nd founding anniversary of the faculty, Vietnamese delicacies were introduced, attracting many visitors./.
