I am half Vietnamese half White and was born in Saigon Vietnam, I can speak fluent Vietnamese and understand long deep conversations. Unfortunately I can only speak and understand, I cannot read or write in Vietnamese. I am looking forward to this class and hopefully pick up a load of useful information along the way.
