Rosie Robinson provides us with an inside look at a small cafe, The House of Tipi. But this is no ordinary cafe; it is also a learning hub that is growing a larger community.
The Tipi Cafe is located in Da Nang, Vietnam, a city that is growing fast. But what makes this cafe stand out is the community it is raising. The Tipi Cafe also serves as a base for collaborative, conversation-based English learning. In this short, we get firsthand accounts of students who have been able to learn English through the camaraderie, relationship building, and all-around good times at the Tipi Cafe. It’s a great look into an unconventional method of learning.
I give this film 4 out of 5 stars.
