Remember those days that we go to that community centre and the co giao??? And those days when we first came out to cheong, not many ppl we know. At that time the person that i know who can speak/write viet the best, is Lament. Now has lost sight of him liao..... if he came here to lend a hand, i consider it better than those native speaker, cos he can understand english better....

But rather than just ask blindly, it would be good to first check out some of the language tools recommended by our bros here. I'm sure you'll find a plenty that will at least help you in some way. That way, sharing becomes a vested interest for all.

A good learning source that I would like to share with bros here.

no lah, i did try to find in vdict. kana say lazy once liao...
it is just that all the 'ben' in vdict don't seems to fit in the sentence

I try search 'tam long', cannot find... if the intepretation of 'tam long' is heart, it is too cheem for me. I learnt that heart = 'tim'.

You know that the 'cong an' at HM always sms cheem words to me.

[jackbl]

U so late didnt sleep or u wake up so early to learn viet is it? So hardworking huh! I will pardon u for this time...
