My experience with Vietnamese has on the whole been very positive - it's a wonderful language that I enjoy immensely...  I've come to accept that there will always be a gap between my spokenVietnamese and my ability to read Vietnamese-language documents, although this gap narrows when I'm able to spend time in Vietnam. Charles Keith, a Ph.D.candidate in History at Yale

 

 

 

"The hardest thing about learning Vietnamese was to perfecting the different tones. It took me a while to recognize the different tones and I am still trying to improve at using the tone correctly."
