Well you don't need my phone number. You have the address clearly and will go to meet people at the club not only me

If you need more information, just ask. Most of people go there alone, as I see, so don't worry

Ya its great to hear from you. We just talking about everything we interested. Culture, traffic, people, music, language, travelling, even cake . When we make pronunciation mistake, she will correct it, show us how to pronounce, and what is wrong. When we make a confusing sentence, she help us to make it in order

But we do not too serious, mostly talking and have fun. I think everybody will love to teach you Vietnamese too.

thank you for your information, please count me in.
many thanks

A cell phone number is useless. You do not need to re-register. Just come and go to the second floor.

See you guys this evening

You're always welcome

Btw it's not my group. It's the coffee shop's group. You can read more about them here http://www.sozocentre.com/

The members change frequently. There is no commitment (about come or not), that's why I love it. You can meet new members everyday

Thank you. See you next week

Hey there,
I would love to come and help teach English!
It would be a great opportunity to test some of my Vietnamese too.
James

I wish I could join. But it's too far, I must teach 12 periods on Tuesday, so I don't want to go anywhere on Monday night .

Miss, the children who are 15 or under 15 years old can join in this club. They desire to practice English because they feel ashame of speaking in the crowd.

Well pay attention to the difference between generations, since people in this club are mostly workers and students. I myself find a little difficult talking with teenager now, they are so much different Anyway, give it a try

Thanks all, see you on Monday next week. I'll take my children to visit sozo. It's useful for them to practice English.)

Dear All,

There is a place to keep your bike at 155 Bui Vien, fee is 10k/time
I see other people leave their bike in another place, a little bit farther which I don't know the address exactly.

Cheers VanKhanh, I'll drop by today.

People in the club are in different levels of speaking English, some are very good, some cannot speak even a full sentence. Just come, don't worry.

If no one contact you, so you will not go anywhere? If yes, so that means you are not desire enough to learn English. Like many young Vietnamese people I used to see, tend to make "big words" about their dream but do nothing to catch it. Barking dogs seldom bite.

Hi VanKhanh,
  guess Burin needs more empathy and encouragement rather than criticism.

Hi Burin,
take it easy, you should just come. I was there last Monday and most people just come alone the first time.
It just likes any other coffee shops but all ones there are nice and keen to speak English.
Get it choose a table you like and ask "may I join with you guys", then start making friend and talking ....

I don't think so. You see I acted different with lethu, as lethu and other persons who really need encouragement said different things. They said, "I am not good, can I come", not "I am not good, until someone take care of me and take responsible for my learning career then I will give it a try".

By the way, I said "If yes". If her answer is "no" (so she is not mean to just wait for other to contact her), then she is good, and what I said is for other people that I used to know not for her.

Your point is right, but would like add another view: If someone has ever been to a group like this before or been good to socialization, she/he might feel scared a little bit or pretty much. Then sometime he/she is keen to do but his/her fear is too big. Hence, the first thing we should do is just to give a bit motion as this one might just need it. Then whatever choice made from the person is  no longer our business. Yet, we do know there is not any negative impact come from us to the decision. Honestly, I  think we shouldn't care much about "IF yes" or "IF no"  and try to not put someone who ask for joining club into the situation where this person can be marked  as good or bad because of their decision.

found some mistake in my writing, it also took me more than 20mins to complete. Haizzz, writing is the hardest part to to improve for me. anyone having good writing skill, please share me how you did to make it that good..thank you in advance

There is a the monthly gathering here, you can attend it. The first time when I came here, I didn't dare attent it, because I felt so shy. But after seeing people here, I am not shy anymore ; though I still feel shy when I talk to strangers. Come and join with us !

I do not have problem with someone who fear. I am do fear to try new thing myself. That is not my point.

My action just reflect her attitude. She is an adult not a kid so if she gave a not so good attitude, she is ready to receive a not so good answer. Listen to it or ignore it is her right.

I used to want to please everybody, try to be nice with all. But one day you will realize that for some people, there is no limitation for their requirement. They think that people around have to take responsible for their life. And if we keep being nice to them, we just help to destroy them.

I do hope that she is a good student having responsibility for her own learning path.

@Van Khanh: I know your point. But I think if you are strict to her, maybe she will be scary and give up soon. In some other cases, even I am much more strict than you (cold woman  ). But, she is so shy, should we encourage her?
