Khanh Tho, a second-year student of Tourist French of Nha Trang Teachers’ College, said, “French document in bookstores is very expensive. Students like us can’t afford them. The French Resource Center with abundant books has helped us much. Sometimes, we meet some French people who are living in Nha Trang coming here to borrow books. The talks with them have given us good chances to practice French.”
Nha Trang French Resource Center now has 730 member readers, 35 of whom are French.
Fabre Henri, a French man living in Nha Trang, said that, every 2 or 3 days, he comes to the French resource center to borrow books, mainly interesting novels.
Le Trung, head of the center, said that Nha Trang French Resource Center, opened from 1996, has been not only a language center but a cooperation. Actually, beside supplying document to French learners, the center does other activities related to French such as opening French classes in some schools, organizing examinations for DELF degree, supplying information on study in France and doing Vietnamese – French translation.
