‘Vietnamese people can speak English better than Americans’

I have never been to the US, nor do I have many American friends, but I came into contact with quite a few American tourists when I was a tour guide.

First of all, we must clarify one thing: how to speak a language to be considered good at speaking a language?

First, speak that language fluently

That means you must pronounce clearly so that the listener understands what you want to say.

Second, express good content

Language is just a cover for thinking.

You need to make sure that you speak clearly and coherently so that it is easy to understand and logical.

Third, talk with emotion

Indeed, if you don’t like Vietnamese history, there’s no way you can make me like it.

A Vietnamese who studies English in Vietnam can still speak English better than an American.

Fourth, is the literary foundation

All Vietnamese people speak Vietnamese fluently, but that doesn’t mean everyone speaks Vietnamese well.

There are people who talk very well and are lovely, but there are also people who just talk to them for a few words, and we want to….

In short, how many Vietnamese people dare to claim that they speak Vietnamese well?

So, you should pay less attention to learning how to `speak with a standard American accent` or `like a native`, and instead learn to become a good English speaker.

And so, a Vietnamese who studies English in Vietnam can still speak English better than an American .

That’s what I believed, what about you?
