Hello! I’m Chuong Nguyen Do , a freelance translator and language instructor based in Budapest, Hungary. I translate and proofread between English and Vietnamese and am currently working on translating Sheila Harper’s memoir, Survivor; I also teach Hungarian to Vietnamese learners, individually or in small groups. I enjoy helping people communicate across languages and cultures with accurate, engaging text.
I’m passionate about language, culture, and storytelling, and I’m always excited to take on new translation projects or language teaching opportunities that connect people across borders.
