Topics related to the customs of home decoration, peach blossom and apricot blossom markets, making Chung (square sticky rice) cake, banh tet (cylindrical sticky rice cake), and lucky money to pray for good luck and health for grandparents, parents, and children during Tet are interesting cultural lessons for Russian students studying the Vietnamese language.
Currently, the Vietnamese language is taught widely in Russia. In the 2023-2024 school year, for the first time the Diplomatic Academy of Russia enrolled students majoring in the language.
