Vietnamese people's issue of learning English Most Vietnamese can’t speak English after leaving high school; although, they were learned English since 11 years old. That’s a huge issue. The question is why. Why most Vietnamese people can’t speak English fluently during 7 years even more while learning English in the middle and high school? As a Vietnamese student, I definitely know the answer. The cause is not students or teachers. The cause is the whole education system. We were learned English very early. Actually, I was learned English when I was in grade six. Until grade twelve I’ve learned totally for 7 years. Through that time I was taught a lot of grammar and, how to gain high marks on tests. Fine, in some cases, that's benefits. But, they lose the most important thing of learning English or even any other languages. For me, the final purpose of learning English is to speak English, it’s not for tests. Most the time we haven’t taught about listening, speaking at all, and even we can’t pronoun the alphabet correctly. I guess now you know why we can’t speak English. However, this issue doesn't matter to people who live in cities. There are many language schools. And, if their parents have the condition about finance, they could enable their parents to go to a language school to improve their English. That's not happened with who are living far from cities. To sum up, I think that the Vietnamese education needs to change something, please don’t fix it anymore, the learning system is too old. Vietnamese student needs a new learning system. Not only with English subject, that’s for all the available subjects. I personally think that’s the key make Vietnam​ change the face and standout in the world.
