Maybe the 3 of us gets a better discount, and we chit-chat there - with spotlit teacher ah!
Hi Bro,

If you guys have the passion to learn. Its going to be easy n fun.
U shld be able to pick up fast with lots of practice everyday.
Especially those bros who were based in Saigon or Hanoi.
I've a friend who is in Hanoi for 3 years. Now he speaks like the local.
Without attending any viet classes.
I had my lesson with Linguaphone 2 years back.
But till now, I still could not pronounce the words correctly.
Maybe I'm old & slow.
They will teach u with the proper northern accent which is 6 different tones.
But according to what i understand.
The southern viet speaks with only 2 tones.
As such, sometimes its difficult to understand one another.
E.g. in school, we learn Bristish english, most of the time we speak Singish.
All in all practice makes perfect. Enjoy your classes of tieng viet.
"Chuc anh thanh cong"

Cheers
