Hello all!

I just moved to Ho Chi Minh City from Los Angeles.  I cannot comfortably live in a city and not speak the language of its people!..

How right you are.  Your best bet are college students.  You should find a female bilingual-ish college students who can tutor you. 

They hang out at the park next to the Cathedral of Notre Dame (District 1) weekend mornings trying to practice their English skills with foreigners. 

Also you can pretend to be a foreign tourists and walk around Ben Thanh market (District 1) to ask any "college student volunteer helping foreign tourists" if they're willing to tutor you.   

One more lead is the US Mission/Consulate place at Diamond Plaza, 8th floor.  Diamond Plaza is located kitty corner from the Notre Dame Cathedral.  Because the place has a library as well as study abroad programs, a lot of college students hang out there as well.

Welcome to Vietnam and good luck.
