"Hello all

is it possible for a foriegner to be a tour guide in Vietnam? I am moving to Nha Trang in less than 6 weeks to be with my girlfriend. I have been an english teacher before, but I wouldn't mind trying something new. Now Nha Trang is a big tourist destination - would people use a foriegn tour guide vs. a local?

Now last year I had one local guide who was absolutely wonderful(she was in Chau Doc). She really set the tone for my vietnamese trip and I just absolutely loved (and fell in love) Vn. But sometimes the access to Vietnamese who speak good english isn't readily available, and thats why a foriegner might come in handy. Just wondering peoples opinions. Lets get some discussion going.

Thanks in Advance"

I teach english as a foreign language in Vietnam. I need a microphone that records voice clearly such that with amplifications and other adjustments it still sounds normal and clear.

Do Vietnamese learn Hán tự (Chinese script) in the school?

Thank you very much before.

Hi Werecow, is there any non-English word in my question?

I'm meeting my boyfriend's parents who prefer a girl who can speak Mandarin, so I'm trying to learn some basic phrases (hello aunty, how are you, etc) I'm Vietnamese and 1/4 Chinese, though I speak neither languages.

My Taiwanese friends have been coaching me but I'm still having trouble maintaining the accent.. any how to videos or something?

thanks
(p.s. not cantonese or mainland Chinese accents please)

OH and can you add the marks on it if you can! : ) it would help a lot.
and can you add anything mother day related! please! : )
THNX A LOT!

Were they always writing trash to upset the people? What motive was behind this ? Seems to me now is the wrong time to remove a General that is leading a major campaign .This will only upset our young men and women that are over there defending us from those that want to harm us.They dont need this kind of s...t .They need support.All they can get .So if he did speak out of turn let it slide for now. We all have moments that we say things we dont really mean .

I think not... my mother language is regarded as "extremely difficult"... and sometimes I feel upset about it.
Jenny Reyes : WE'RE NOT CHINESE! And even if I'm Chinese, that's offensive.
The star: Well trust me Vietnamese is hard. The 6-tone system, the vocabulary and how metaphoric that language is are the most terrible things.

I want to say these phrases in Vietnamese. Can somebody help me? Please put tonemarks. I want to say these in a friendly way.

I am your loyal friend.
Please repeat what you said.
Visiting your place will be exciting.
I want to try to eat dishes from Vietnam.
I want to help you in your problems.
Cats are my favorite pets.
Do you have a pet at home?

I want to start a conversation by saying these sentences. Any other suggestions for starting a conversation (in Vietnamese)? thanks a lot!

I have been getting my nails done for six years. I have been to at least a dozen different salons. EVERY single salon I have been to is run by Vietnamese people. They are very nice and do a good job but I hate it when they converse with each other in front of customers in their language. They talk to each other in Vietnamese the entire time. Don't they know that is rude? I can't decide if they just don't care or they just don't realize how rude it is.
OK. I apparently didn't express myself very well. I have no issue with people from other countries coming to the U.S. if they are working hard and making a good life for themselves. I admire the courage it takes to start a new life in a foreign land. But, if I moved to France I would expect to have to learn French. It makes people uncomfortable to hear all the chit chat going on in a language you can't understand. And, no. I would not enjoy working on people's feet. That's why I didn't choose that profession.

It's kind of a weird question but what is the best way to learn to hear the trung dialect? My significant other is this dialect but i cannot understand it, it's really embarrassing! What can i do, do you think there's classes or videos i can rent to get use to listening to that dialect?

Hi. I could not send you my webcam as I was not at home.
I want to see you again.
I will be available at midnight, Eastern Standard Time.

Yes, I know the accents and what not are missing so it's going to be hard unless you actually speak Vietnamese.

And please, don't answer this question if you're going to just Google some translator and post the results. It's inaccurate and I could do that myself if I wanted to.

Thanks!

I recently saw a group of veterans who served in the war in Iraq (as well as Gulf war 1, Vietnam & Korea) who were condemning the war in Iraq, and ridiculing Bush's assinine policies...

Of course many Bible clutching FOX NEWS watching right wing Republican fascists attack the patriotism of any citizen who question the war (unless it's a Republican who questions the war..apparently THAT's okay....)
The soldiers who speak out against the war are true heroes- above all, they realize the greatest freedom we have is freedom of speech..
What do you think of the vets who speak out against the war and Bush? I think they are showing their patriotism by speaking out..
And for the record I served of 8 years in the US Navy back in the 1980s...
I never saw wartime, but I am very vocal in my opposition to this war, and I voice hatred and contempt for the Nazi GW Bush

I'm guessing it has something to do with Vietnam being an ex-French colonial country.

i actually have no idea and i don't understand stuff on websites because of such complicated language :S

we are the international business trainers for a new international biz opened just here in HCMC and we would like to meet german speaking vietnamese people here

Please help, especially if you speak Vietnamese. I need to get from Hanoi to Hong Kong. Someone told me about taking trains ... if I understood correctly, it takes two days from Hanoi to Hong Kong by train (?)
It seems there is so much to do in Vietnam. I'm worrying a lot about running out of time. If I have any problem at the Vietnam/China border I might miss my flight from Hong Kong back home. Hong Kong and Hanoi don't seem that far, but I can't seem to find ANY cheap flights from Hanoi to HK. I was wondering if there might be a vietnamese website that offers cheap flights or any other website that offers cheap flights to Hong Kong. If you know of any, or speak vietnamese and can find one, PLEASE help.
Airasia only does Hanoi to Bangkok
Johncharles sound like an idiot... at least it was really amusing though... weird perception on life eh.... wow... enjoy your viet vet bubble... and thanx 4 the laugh
