According to Tuoi Tre Online , at Dinh Cau and Phu Quoc night market, international visitors from India, Korea, Russia, China, etc. are currently bustling with visitors.

Students on the island confidently communicate with foreign guests.

To meet the needs of foreign language learners and communication with foreign tourists, schools in Phu Quoc special economic zone flexibly teach foreign languages combined with practical experiences, so that students can practice explaining and introducing the cuisine and cultural beauty of the islanders to tourists.

Pham Ky Thu - a student at Duong Dong 1 Secondary School - said she really likes learning foreign languages, especially English. Therefore, Thu always listens to her teachers at school and practices more at home.

Today, Thu had a hands-on experience going to Phu Quoc night market and Dinh Cau to interact directly with foreigners, so she really enjoyed it.

"At school, teachers taught me a lot of useful knowledge, so when I went out in the field, I was very confident in communicating with tourists. What impressed me most was being able to introduce and promote the image of tourism on the island," Thu happily said.

"Equipping myself with a foreign language is essential. I always try to improve my studies and practice communication skills. In the future, not only will I develop myself, but I will also be able to better exchange cultures with international guests," said Phan Van Phu, a student in Phu Quoc special economic zone.

Ms. Evgennia Dronbiatskaia - a Russian tourist - was impressed with the students on Phu Quoc Island who communicate fluently in foreign languages.

With this practical communication, she believes that students on Phu Quoc Island will soon perfect their skills and knowledge and will be the ones to connect the community and promote the tourism image of the locality.

Is it difficult for every islander to be a tourism ambassador?
