Why I started Lao English School

FounderTeaching Lao since 2020

Sabaidee, I'm Ginie! I'm multilingual, and I've always loved how languages bring people together. At 18, during lockdown, I started teaching Lao online, and my students' stories really stayed with me. Many had grown up abroad and couldn't say what they wanted to the people they love most.

So in June 2021, I started Lao English School, and today learners from the US to Europe learn Lao with us. I'm Lao-Vietnamese, and I'm still learning Vietnamese to feel closer to that side of my family, so I know what it's like to reach for the language of your roots. Whenever you're ready, I can't wait to welcome you!
