For years i am working in Vietnam but I never had the time to study vietnamese. At my work all people speak good english and it is for me not necessary to speak any vietnamese. For some months I started to learn vietnamese because outside my work it was more difficult to communicate with the local people. I am surprised how much vietnamese you can already speak and understand after some lessons (3 hours/week). I would also recommend other expats in Vietnam to do the same. Vietnamese people really appreciate if you can speak their language and it is much easier going shopping and do other things outside work. I would like to thank my teacher for this because thanks to her I can speak some basic vietnamese in relative short time. Her name is Giang and if you are interested she can teach you Vietnamese too during day time.
She also showed me the local life and culture. It helped me a lot for better understanding from the vietnamese.
Gr gerard.
