I am currently trying to learn Vietnamese from an exchange student living in my town. I know some things, but am having trouble: mostly pronunciation. I can see a Vietnamese word and recognize yet I don't understand how to say it. Does anyone have any tips?



Also is there anyone who would be willing to help me learn? Is there somewhere specific I should start?

P.S. I have learned a language before. I am fluent in German, have about 3 years of Spanish under my belt, and about 4 years of Japanese. Yet this is a most difficult language.

Thanks

Me.
