Many people are probably familiar with the guy nicknamed Bino, famous for his charming and practical English-learning videos on social media. Bino, whose real name is Vu Vi Binh, is the owner of a TikTok channel with over 750,000 followers and 1 million followers across all platforms. Recently, he shared with readers his "practical skills" for learning English using the book "Speaking English Without Thinking ".

Before writing the book, Bino was a content creator with "clean," informative content that helped viewers gain more knowledge about foreign languages. Remarkably, the author, born in 1989, spent many years working in Russia and Australia, and for one of the "big four" banks in Australia. He studied four languages: English, French, Arabic, and Russian. With years of experience teaching English to Vietnamese people, and through personal observation, reflection, and hard-earned experience, he wrote " Speaking English Without Thinking " to guide readers in using the language in the most practical way, in a "learning through play, playing through learning" style. " Speaking English Without Thinking " is a practical guide for everyone, from those who are not yet proficient in English to those who are already very good at it. The author "designed" the book into 12 "topics" corresponding to the 12 months of the year, so that readers can carry it with them and read, learn, and apply it whenever needed. These topics are familiar to readers, revolving around greetings and self-introductions; family; using days, months, and years to describe schedules and appointments; vocabulary about the weather; vocabulary about restaurants, food, and drinks... These topics are organized in a linear, continuous, and natural conversational format, making them suitable for practical application in daily life .
The book "Speaking English Without Thinking" is printed in color and has an attractive layout. It's a medium-sized book, not too thick. (Organizing Committee)
Breaking the "curse" of fear of English.
Through his first book, the author made a rather interesting observation: Vietnamese people know and speak English better than they think; the problem is they don't know how to turn the vocabulary in their heads into spoken words. Therefore, the book was written for practice and... continuous practice! Because, according to the author, to excel in any skill, learners must continuously hone that skill. That's also why, through this book, Bino wants to contribute to changing the academic and burdensome English learning habits of many people: be persistent in practicing and don't be afraid. At the end of each conversation topic, there is a QR code leading to a short video so readers can practice speaking directly with the author.
The event included English-language games that the audience enjoyed. (THẾ SANG)
This "hot off the press" book could be jokingly described as helping readers overcome their fear of English. The author provides over 1,000 English vocabulary words, idioms, slang, and abbreviations to help readers practice the language naturally and casually. Not only that, he also shares many pronunciation tips and how to speak English concisely. By presenting so much knowledge in the most accessible and useful way possible, the author wants readers to learn English comfortably, like... a child. Be curious, "open your mouth and speak, speak, speak non-stop"—this is what the author values most, as it fosters quick, natural reflexes and actively builds vocabulary in English learning.
Author Vu Vi Binh, born in 1989, is not only a content creator but also the host of the IELTS Face Off program on VTV7. Before its official release, " Speaking English Without Thinking " reached 10,000 pre-orders.
