Note to recorder:

Please speak slowly and clearly. Thanks

Studying a new language can be challenging, especially if listeners have trouble understanding the accent. But with a specific action plan and regular practice, most people can reach a good standard of communication in a second language. It is important to have correct pronunciation and speak clearly, because incorrect pronunciation can cause misunderstandings. The objective of most language learners over eighteen isn’t to match the ability of native speakers, but to have comfortable communication in every day business and social situations.

You don’t need a high IQ, and it’s important to remember that making mistakes is a natural part of learning. Being an active learner, rather than a passive one, means using everyday opportunities to practise your speaking skills, so be prepared to ask for advice and correction. Perhaps you can go to the Guom Lake or Hue Street and ask some foreigners their advice. Most people are pleased to help learners with the pronunciation or the meaning of an unfamiliar word. If you are hard-working and do your homework, you can slowly build your confidence, meet new friends, and learn about other cultures.
