Sometime, the Asian populations are speaking Thai, Chinese, Mandarin, Korean, Malay, Vietnamese, and Japanese in many countries of Asia...

I don't understand Asian Languages (include Thai)...

I speak English in United States.

However, Qantas Airways fly nonstop from Bangkok, Thailand (BKK) to London, United Kingdom (LHR) or Sydney, Australia (SYD) daily!

Me and my wife are from New Orleans and plan to move back in a couple of years. I am starting Pre-Med this fall and want to start learning other languages. New Orleans has a large Vietnamese community, so my goal is to learn Vietnamese down the road because most people that speak a second language in the United States speak either Spanish or French. I want to be different.
None of the colleges I am prospecting teaches Vietnamese, but one of them offers Japanese and Chinese (Manderin).
Personally I am more interested in Japanese, as I am infatuated by their culture and would love to at visit Japan a few times.
But if my ultimate goal is Vietnamese, would either language help me more with Vietnamese? Maybe one is more similar in linguistics, word roots, or characters.
And if anyone happens to have any tips it would be helpful. I have wanted to at least pick up a second language for a while, but my goal is to also look good to a Medical School and/or Hospital.

I'm talking about the vietnamese dude who always ask questions about his arranged marriages who claims he can't get a girlfriend on his own so his mom is asking his aunt in vietnam to find him a girl in vietnam to marry him in the united states and live in the united states. This vietnamese guy claims he lives in the united states in the San Jose, California area.

I'm Vietnamese, but I live in the United States all my life so I can barely speak Vietnamese. My grandparents are coming to visit and they always speak to me in Viet, and so I usually just nod my head awkwardly.

I figured I might as well learn to speak it better, so are there any websites or dictionary programs that not only translates from Vietnamese to English, but has a sound byte of how to say the Vietnamese word? Thanks.

People think I'm crazy because they say all I ever talk about is marrying a vietnames girl from vietnam who my mother asked my aunt to introduced me to. I could not find a girl on my own in the united states so my mother is helping me out. This is quite for your parents to help you out as I am vietnamese myself. How come people think I'm crazy ???
