I understand "haggling" but I got ripped off by a taxi driver and a restaurant. No kidding but I will never come back to HN. Ha Long Bay was beautiful but the service was horrible.
"Ripped off" means you got cheated.

I see. This could happen anywhere. I did not get cheated in HN, but almost got ripped off in SG by taxi driver who "confused" between 100,000 VND bills and other billsOriginally Posted by pinkypig

"Ripped off" is US slang. For example: minh mua mot vat khong dang gia voi so tien lon thi minh noi la "I got ripped off"

1st Version:
Anyone who teaches me one word - even half a word - is still my teacher.
2nd Version:
Even he who teaches me the smallest bit can still be called my teacher
Please correct my grammar as you see fit. Much appreciated!
Ripped off = bi lua dao
Trường hợp này là bị hớ
Trường hợp này là bị lừa đảo hoặc là bị chém
2 pinkypig: YES! I received the Rosseta Stone CD for free (my friend burned me a copy). As you may know, they are VERY expensive ($495. USD). Have you used RS before? If so, what is your impression as a (learning a new) language tool?
I thought you can't use copy Cd for RS. I wanted to learn Spanish but the RS was so expensive. Hmm... I need to find someone who has Spanish RS now. I haven't used them yet but I saw several good reviews about them. If you need help in learning Vnese just send me a message.
hey pinkypig! the RS copy i have also has spanish, arabic, chinese mandarin, english, french, hindi, japanese, korean, vietnamese, and portugueseit is not the FULL versions of RS, but lessons # 1 & 2 (which is a lot!) you are right, you are not supposed to be able to burn a copy, but my buddy has his ways;-) <hihi> i have not tried to burn a copy from my copy (yet), but should be able to do so...and if i am successful, will be more than happy to share!
I want free copy too......$500 too much.
