    Really..? I think learning english is the most hardest of all languages. Vietnamese is 10x is easier than english though. People think english is easier because they learned it first. In Canada they force kids to learn both english and french and it's a bitch to learn french but I consider myself lucky since I already know english.

    I don't think vietnamese is hard to learn or any language, but you have to keep practicing it or you lose it, I can speak english, vietnamese and a little cantonese. I kept with the vietnamese because I'm vietnamese by origin i think it be wrong to lose your own language lol

    hehe oh look its my first post haha

    It's okay the first thing you learn in a foreign language is usually hello, good bye, thank you, sorry, or any of the swear words lol..

    I agree, Vietnamese is a hard language to learn, it's not impossible to learn, and can easily be learned with dedication and hard work, but because of the different tone levels, it makes it hard to annunciate.

    i could understand vietnamese like for half a conversation, learned to write basic cause my teacher didn't teach me anything, but forgot after i switched to spanish class back in high school lols, but learning to write vietnamese is surely easier than learning to write chinese...
     
  11. i find viet easy to speak and understand but writing is kinda hard like the difference between dau nga and dau hoi.
     
  12. Yes, Vietnamese is hard to learn and it isn't common but I love it . If you really want to study Vietnamese, you should be hard and practice it everyday. I think it's necessary to learn all languages. Its alphabet is similar English's. I think pronunciation is quite hard for overseas people but me because i'm vietnamese.^-^

    I can only speak Vietnamese, but I don't think it's really that hard to learn, especially since the words are really close to how they are pronounced. That's how I taught myself to kind of read Vietnamese. But some words are just too dang hard to say.

    Vietnamese is pretty hard too learn. I was born there but i left and came to america. Growing up I was taught to speak more canto and english because of my surroundings. up to now i can only understand simple viet. I guess if you really want to learn. You have to start using it everyday. Good luck.

    Vietnamese is hard to learn, the pronuciation, the idioms are really hard to master, but once you master Vietnamese, you'll find it interesting.
