Vietnamese I have to say THANK YOU to the Vietnamese community on italki, and also sort of apologize. When I started studying Japanese, I already had a Japanese girlfriend and went to Japan with her. Also, Japanese pronunciation is easy. Recently I became interested in learning Vietnamese, and I included that on my italki profile. There are probably only a few Vietnamese learners compared to some other languages. Lots of italki users from Vietnam have reached out to me ("followed" me) here on italki, and I really appreciate it. I hope to meet you all, but starting this language is pretty intimidating! The sound is so foreign to my ear, and I don't know anyone who is Vietnamese outside of the internet (right now). I am also pretty busy recently. Not TOO busy, but busy enough that trying to meet people for language exchanges makes me a little stressed out because I'm thinking about school and getting a job and volunteering and networking to find a job. So, please be patient, everyone! I promise I will start to become more organized and do some language exchanges with Vietnamese people and maybe even take some lessons from the community tutors. I also want to improve my English teaching abilities, so maybe I can build up language exchange karma by giving some free lessons. Thanks! Keep on studying English! I now realize how hard it is to try to learn English and I really think you are great for taking on that challenge!!!
