She got to know more about the culture, people and country of Japan and developed an admiration for the way Japanese people promote their country.Īt the same time, Quynh met many foreigners who struggled to learn Vietnamese as she had with Japanese. With renewed confidence, Quynh developed her vocabulary and grammar by role-playing practical situations in Japanese. The Marugoto teaching method emphasized speaking and listening skills and cultural topics.
Quynh was ready to give up until she got a chance to attend the Japan Foundation’s Marugoto Japanese course. In fact, she used to struggle when studying Japanese because her teacher forced her to memories lots of boring grammar and vocabulary but ignored the speaking and listening parts, which made her unable to speak Japanese. Quynh learned two foreign languages - English & Japanese - so she understands the difficulties of learning a new language. Quynh is passionate about teaching Vietnamese and promoting Vietnamese culture to international friends. Well played, Ikea, well played.ISpeak Vietlingo was founded by Quynh Chu, a dedicated Vietnamese teacher since 2015. As brands Ikea and Kanye are already well established the joke collaboration is even better for developing a polished multi-brand image. Additionally it creates an image or idea that people associate them with, making it more recognizable. Having a collaboration is great for branding as it gets fans from both demographics to potentially purchase the end product (or in this case consider purchasing products from the individuals). This isn’t the first time Ikea has done something random and entertaining, so we have to give major credit to Ikea’s Instagram marketing agency for making our day just that little bit yeezy-er (and obviously inspiring our new home décor.) Obviously this is a great publicity stunt on both sides. While Ikea remains Ikea for now, Ikanye is an inevitable future for which we can all thank the internet gods. It is the Kanye West furniture that is the Kanye B est. Some highlights were the Kardash-a double wide chair as a homage to Kimye, Yeezy fishsticks (a continuation of the glorious Yeezy bed line), and of course a Frameye or two. They created new furniture designs with plans big enough to rival Kanye’s ego. They continued to tease Kanye by saying they would ‘love to see what he would create.’ While I’m sure this thrilled Kanye, the internet is apparently filled with vigilante interior designers who took the challenge upon themselves.
Ikea Australia posted a facebook photo for a new bed design- the Yeezy. However it was Australia that had all the fun this time. BBC Radio One has been host to some odd things but this was nothing as simple as live lounge. Later in an interview with BBC Radio One he stated that people would want furniture created by him, directly calling out Ikea in the process. He even went so far as to post an image of a bed design he was making. West had hinted a couple of times that he wanted to work with Ikea, predominantly on twitter. We all love Ikea so it’s not shocking that Kanye likes to shop there too, what is surprising is that he wants to work with them. …Ok maybe more like nightmares but still. I think I speak for all of us when I say that a Kanye West and Ikea collaboration is the stuff of dreams. Ikea’s genius Instagram marketing agency teases collaboration with Kanye West.Īs long as you’re not Beck or Taylor, Ikea has your home décor for the next decade sorted.
