Back

Currently I can speak Vietnamese as my mother tongue and English as a foreign language. I have learnt E since I was 10 and I haven't learnt any new languages until now. May be in the future, I will try to learn Chinese because I totally impressed by its rich culture.

What languages would you like to learn in the future?

Back

Actually, I've always wanted to learn Chinese as I mentioned earlier in the first question, because I think it is a beautiful language and it represents a rich and diverse culture. From the magnificent ancient structures to the vibrant traditional music and dance, all of that just excites me every time I think of starting to learn Chinese.

How are languages taught and learned in your school ?

Back

In my school, languages, especially foreign languages are typically taught by focusing on grammar and learning new words based on common topics. From my perspective, there is often a lack of real practice of speaking skills, which can create a sense of fear making mistakes and barriers for student to get over. Many students struggle with these issues because they don't always get enough opportunities to practice speaking and build confidence in learning new languages.

How do you learn a foreign language?

Back

Well, When it comes to learning a foreign language, I usually start by exposing my self to the language by listening and watching conversations of native speakers. After being familiar with the sound and the vowels, I would dive into comprehensive reading to expand my vocabulary range, practicing writing and sometimes do some grammar homework to cover all fundamental skills for that language.
