Hi everyone!

My name is Zack.  I'm 24 and studying Computer Science in the United States.  I'm looking to meet some Vietnamese natives that don't live to far from Quan 4.  I will be coming to Vietnam in a few months and I want to hang out and improve my Vietnamese speech.  I can speak and understand Vietnamese decently right now so feel free to talk to me in Tieng Viet and I will let you know if I khong hieu.

Hi Zack. My compliment for your decent Vietnamese. How do you learn it quite well without coming to Vietnam before? Welcome to Vietnam. I live rather far from your Quan 4 so I hope you have fun with other Vietnamese friends.

bluestar49,

My fiancee is Vietnamese.  I basically taught her how to speak english for the last two years and anytime I teach her something in english I asked her how to say it in Vietnamese.  I also study on my own and any questions I have I will ask her.

Guess they don't understand "Anglophone". :)

P.S. I saw French posts here - are they "Anglophone"?

Hung,

Yeah I tutored her in calculus at the University over here and she hasn't been back home in a few years so it will be nice for her to see her aunts, uncles, and cousins back home.  I know she really misses them and I am very excited to meet them face to face (though I have talked to them many times over Skype already).

Charlie,

Yeah she said Christmas is very fun but she said the Tet Holiday is the best. I'm excited and so is she since she hasn't been in Vietnam for Tet for the last 5 or so years.  It should be a very fun experience.

That's great ^^,
Hope you arrive Vietnam at Tet holiday,you will enjoy it so much ^^.Can you tell me your Yahoo account,I will contact you.

tet gets crazy over there.

get ready for a population overload (huge crowds) more than normal during that time of the year. don't forget to bring your license so you can get a vietnamese DL over there and its a plus if you have a M1 motorcycle endorsement  too.

here is  so quite :)

Hi anh Zack,
I have just added you in ym I hope we can have some Vietnamese-English conversations sometimes!
Cheers

zztonedefzz

Truc,

Cam on em Truc! I look forward to talking to you.


jinxedta,

If I don't have an M1 endorsement, will I still be able to ride around on 50cc 100cc scooters?  Thanks for the good advice btw.


Hung,

I will send you my yahoo name in just a second so look at your Inbox and it should be there.

jinxedta

Yeah you can still get it a license I think the M1 pertains to larger CC bikes. My parents moved back to Vietnam 5 years ago and both of then got their licenses without taking the written. They just took the road test.

Hi Zack,

Your topic is so crowded and looks like a lot of fun. Im living pretty far from Quan 4, so can I join you guys?? Would love to exchange Vietnamese with you and teach you Vietnamese slang and cant wait you to meet up with you and your beautiful fiancee. Btw how did you pop the question? :D
