Being able to speak other languages is a gift, and my favourite thing is to speak with the old people that live in my region, because hardly anyone my age speaks my dialect, only the old people do, which is sad, but it sure brightens up the days of the old people. To see them smile and talk normally like they did when they were kids, growing up. And yet my government doesn't even recognize either one of the last 3 remaining dialects of my language, at all. It's so sad because while there might only be 10-15K speakers left of all the dialects, in 10-20 years I believe it would only be 1K actual speakers left. To speak with people in their native tongue, speaks to their hearts. No matter where you are, or where you live, if one can learn another language, one can almost guarantee that one could brighten up another person's day, and if we all would put in that effort to brighten up someone's day, we'd get closer and closer to world peace.

Thank you mate! :) You can't fully understand a culture and its people on a deeper level without speaking their language. You are correct. It's a significant reason behind learning the language. The number of times I've been cold approached and witnessed the change in people's faces once I started speaking their native tongue is priceless. It truly creates a connection on a deeper level. Regarding my Vietnamese it's not even close to my English even though it may seem that way. But slowly slowly I'm getting there (maybe in a few years lol). There are a few more foreign KZreadrs recording in Vietnamese in Vietnam with way better Vietnamese skills but in my case all I want to do is just put a smile on people's faces :)

Your vietnamese skill is travelling level. You could improve more on the parts that make it feel like native like putting "i" or "you" in front of every sentence, for example when you were trying to ask her "don't you know vietnamese" you should've said "em không biết tiếng việt à" or "bạn không biết tiếng việt à". Simply asking "không biết tiếng việt à?" without refering to the person in question sounds rude if spoken by a native.

Mostly immigrant children abandon their native tongue. sometimes second generation or third will return to their roots in time to make their grandparents or great-grandparents happy. It’s a lot to manage the racism here in the US. It drains the energy. As you say, the language is the key to the culture. I speak Spanish and Arabic, and surprise native speakers. I’ve even had family translators, when I worked as an RN (now retired) re-translate in my same words what I’ve said in Spanish because their brain rejected the idea I was speaking Spanish.

I don’t offer any tutoring except sharing my personal advice and resources: A lot of patience, emotional attachment to a language and learning materials, not falling for all those “How to be fluent in 30 days” scams and understanding that listening is more important than speaking paradoxically. I’am not a big fan of textbooks and apps. Speaking comes fast once your listening skills are on the right lvl. This is how you can learn Vietnamese but I believe you can apply this to other languages: GRAMMAR: Find the target accent you want to learn and learn grammar and some phrases from KZread. For the Northern accent check out "Tieng Viet Oi". For the Southern accent try "How To Vietnamese" and "Learn Vietnamese With Annie". SPEAKING: What people very often don't understand is that speaking is not as important as listening. Once your listening skills are good being thrown into speaking for a few weeks with a native speaker works like magic. So after a few months of YT and VTV/Netflix use iTalki with a native speaker teacher who has the target accent (ONLY use Vietnamese to communicate, even if you only know a few words, and they will try to explain in English. Quick explanations are okay but avoid relying on English for 80% of the time) LISTENING: Use the VTV app for the Northern accent (no subtitles at all :/) and Netflix for the Southern accent (use ONLY Vietnamese subtitles no English even if you understand 0%) I know it's going to be hard at the beginning. Trust me I understand the pain. When you go outside to buy something and no one understands you even though you are 100% sure you said it correctly it can be frustrating. We are simply not used to speaking tonal languages but it gets easier. In a world filled with quick shots of dopamine we struggle to focus on one task for a longer period but those who are patient are the ones who succeed. Be patient. You will get there soon; just keep practicing every day for about 2 hours and believe me it's not much if you really want to learn. As for spare time you can always find it. Good luck!
