I would also not recommend dating or getting married to get help in learning a language... Obviously. Still it helps to learn the culture, which is also helpful (or even sometime required) to learn the Vietnamese language. And I would say my case is an exception to this general idea. In my case it helped because my wife's parents don't remember much about French or English words they learned before but they have a strong will to communicate with their son in law. So every time I have to go (alone) to work in Danang and sleep at the family home, my Vietnamese language bumps to a higher level! In my opinion the best way to learn a language is to go with people who don't know any language in common with you, other than their mother tongue, and still have the will (or need) to communicate with you. They will then make efforts to assure you can understand them, by teaching you their language. So a good starting point would probably be to go _alone_ (without any foreigner friend) for some trekking with a group a Vietnamese only people (what is called learning through immersion). > >> Welcome Thomas, hope to see you when I come back to HN. > Welcome Thomas, too. Happy learning and sharing! Willkommen Thomas!
