Hi everybody!
Hi everybody!
once u've mastered in its grammar, u'll love it. i mean its usefullness in writing. the structure of a sentence, a paragraph, or an essay is just like math 1+1=2. try 2 write vietnamese thinking in english, u'll have the opportunity 2 express your thinking in english very similar 2 what think in vnamese. it's more difficult when u write in French or other language
don't give up.
for exampple:
English:
I sit down on an a chair.
Toi ngoi xuong tren mot cai ghe banh.
How are you?
Lam sao la may?
French:
Je me suis assis sur une chaise.
Toi

don't give up.
some simple examples:
English:
I sit down on a chair.
Toi ngoi xuong tren cai ghe banh.
How are you?
Ra sao la may?--> may ra sao?
French:
Je me suis assis sur une chaise.
Toi tu toi bi/la ngoi tren cai ghe banh.
Comment t' allez vous?
Ra sao tu may di may?
Qui est-ce qui vend le pain dans la rue?
ai la ai ban cai banh mi trong cai duong pho?
Who sells the bread in the street?
Ai ban cai banh mi ...
See? english is easier and closer 2 vNam language
People said that:"Phong ba bao tap khong bang ngu phap Vietnam" ==> Vietnamese grammar is the most flexible one in linguistic. So English still easier than Vietnamese. Let's prove that we can use Vietnamese as our mother tounge.
Let's return the example you gave:I sit on the chair ==> toi ngoi tren ghe. What do you think about this example:
the bird is flying in the sky ==> con chim dang bay tren troi
If you don't want to be dust after your death , let's try to read something worth writing or write something worth reading.
Don't waste time brooding over your past failures
Hi all,
I would like to share a new method to learn English, listen to English and read English.... do not translate.
1. Never Study A Single English Word
That’s right, do not memorize words. Native speakers do not learn English by remembering single words. Native speakers learn phrases.

2. Never Study Grammar
Right now. Stop. Put away your grammar books and textbooks. Grammar rules teach you to think about English, you want to speak automatically– without thinking!

3. Learn With Your Ears, Not Your Eyes
Spend most of your study time listening- that is the key to great speaking.

4. Slow, Deep Learning Is Best
Its not enough to know a definition. Its not enough to remember for a test. You must put the word deep into your brain. To speak English easily, you must repeat each lesson many times.

5. Use Point Of View Mini-Stories
You must learn grammar by listening to real English. The best way is to listen to the same story… told in different times (points of view): Past, Perfect, Present, Future. How do you do this? Easy! Find a story or article in the present tense. Then ask your native speaker tutor to write it again in the Past, with Perfect tenses, and in the Future. Finally, ask him to read and record these stories for you.
