I want to learn how to speak vietnamese . help plz (1 Viewer)

[v sia]

The subject speaks for itself . Basically i just want to learn , but i dunno where to start , and i have no 1 to teach me .

Does anyone know any websites or free downloadable software that can help ??

 

[cro_angel]

i think in ur local library they should have kits to learn to speak lots of languages.. they have a couple of tapes and booklets to follow along
there isnt much free software these days.. alot of the time when i search for learn language things i just find where u can buy tapes and things

i say that french and italian are maaaddd languages to learn.

(so you can understand THE GODFATHER, for one!)

i'm viet. i wish i wasnt viet though yes, but why viet? just because everyone talk viet around you, doesnt mean you want to be fobs like them. i can tell you now, the people who speak viet at your school are FOBS. IIt annoys me when people speak their own foreign language in front of you-especially at school. Not only is it rude, but we're in Australia and we're doing our work in english-not some foreign language.

DU MA! Fobs are funny as hell though (to laugh at that is). Its not the fact that they speak viet, but rather their attitude. Most act all hard and swear as if there was no tomorrow.

Yeah i know what you mean. It is even more embarrassing if you know what they are saying because you can't ignore it. Was at tutor once when our teacher was subject to this. He looked clueless

nah i'd prefer to know... then speak back at them in that language rock them to shaaame.

i know basic vietnamese... i can comprehend better than i can speak - mainly cos i hate the sound of it its weird, my 4 sibs were brought up to learn vietnamese as their second language, but for me it was cantonese. but last yr i began working in a vietnamese restaurant, where the staff all speak vietnamese to eachother :S which sucked, but improved my speaking. so i'm pro learning other languages - it is one mighty useful tool

if you're uber dedicated, i know there are vietnamese schools around on a saturday or sunday....they usually go for bout 4 hrs. i used to go to a mandarin one.
