@Rose : Are you threatening them, lol (just kidding).
Teaching Vietnamese requires skill. Though we know the language, we can't teach it that way. You must understand what the foreigner has as their basic and stuff. Last semester i studied about Second language acquisition and did an interview with Joe, the Canadian guy who speaks Vietnamese perfectly, i found out a lots of new things.


Maybe, you are right, but i'm not a primary school teacher. So, i haven't skills in teach vietnamese for kids :D. But my friend is a primary school teacher. :D Anyone whom want to learn Vietnamese grammar, ( reads, writes ) the first, they have to learn vietnamese alphabet. Like us, too. We want to learn E, the first, we have to learn E alphabet. :) But vietnamese alphabet is like that. ;):)
@Henrry: Thanks. Sory, your wife is not me. If not, you will be crazy to your mind :lol: You should be thanks to god because it. I'm a annoying and stubborn woman :lol::lol:

Totally agree with you. wahahaha

I have few Vietnamese friends who are still single & their mothers always ask them to get married fast. I know that this is Vietnamese culture, but it is 2011 now, modern times roi...

Dont make haste to marry soon. Wait you marry the wrong man, then your life is ruined...

Yes, it's vietnamese culture, the men is 29,30 YO so later; the women is 25,26 so late. Maybe, now is moderner, they can get married later, but the parents, they still have the old things. :lol:

Be open and everything will be fine. You will find your soul mate if you open your heart. How often have we been pricked by a rose, the name says it all :lol: Its a challenge.

I'm always open & never wears a 'mask' to cover anything. I'm myself.

Erm, I rather not be pricked by a rose. Damn painful. If I prick her, then it's a different case... OOPPS, Did I say anything wrong? No pun intended...:lol::lol::lol:
