Thanks Paddy! I actually do attend a VN class for kids. I am in grade 3 of 10 and the ages of the kids in my class are from 12-17 (I am 21). The class is great, but it only meets once per week for 3 hrs at a time. So I try to do some extra to allow for more learning. I actually learned the term lập kế in that class.
-làm phiền- to annoy; Thằng ở chung phòng tôi làm phiền tôi nhiều quá. (My roommate annoys me so much.)
-đùa- to joke; Thằng kia không biết bao giờ ngừng việc đùa. (That dude does not know when to stop joking around.)
-bảo- to force; Má tôi bảo tôi đi nhà thờ. (My mom makes me go to church.)
-đụ- to fuck; Đụ đời tôi. (Fuck my life.) *uh...I say this a lot in English.
-hờn- to resent; Tôi hờn đời tôi. (I hate my life.) *this too..
-ngáp- to yawn; Tôi hay ngáp ở trong lớp tại vì lớp chán quá. (I often yawn in class because it is so boring.)

Giấc ngủ
Lập kế ??? I think this is a new word from VN. Maybe English Learner can shed more light on this. I use mưu sinh (more formal) or kiếm ăn (less formal).
