Hi folks, Just wanna put a question for those who used to or are studying Vietnamese: What challenges you when you learn Vietnamese? Any responses, feedback are appreciated. Thanks.
Clearly the tones are very difficult for someone who doesn't speak a tonal language. I think the majority of people just give up too soon and create excuses. It can definitely can be frustrating but for every time someone chuckles or doesn't ... Read More

Fox news by jkelly5762
Can I get Fox News in Saigon? The hotel I've stayed in does not offer it. Suggestions?
HA HA HA. Do you understand the government of the country you are staying in? I don't think you need to worry about the liberals infiltrating. I really hope Fox News isn't available anywhere outside of the bible belt. Read More

Hello Everyone! I've browsed through a LOT of job related threads on here and set up a profile on multiple Vietnamese career websites. I've been actively applying to jobs, but have not gotten any response! I have a master's degree, but my only ...
It's hard to get a job when you are not here. And very hard to get a job when you don't have experience in a particular field. I'm well qualified and have some great employers on my CV. I didn't get one response to a job application when I ... Read More

Hey - no I don't agree. I'm talking about pavement/sidewalks where there is only room for one person/bike and they want to step into a shop or move sideways so they can get past. I tend to walk more slowly to make my point! I appreciate the ... Read More

Yes sidewalk is the Americanised English version of the English word pavement ;) I've managed to get out quite a bit already but soooo much more to do. There is nothing funnier than speaking a bit of Viet in the countryside and seeing the ... Read More
