Vietnamese

For our morning lesson, we had Vietnamese language. Xin Chao, Xin loi, Dung roi and many more. This is our first time getting in contact with this language where it had been a stranger. Never thought before that we will get in touch with this language, it is very new for the most of us. Leaning Vietnamese language isn't easy, it's tiring. This is because there are 6 notations, when having the lesson, I always feel that I am out of breathe at the end of the lesson. Chinese is much more easier to learn than this, as we had only 4notations in the Han Yu Pin Yin. With these notations, a same word but different notations can make a big difference. Hence, we must be careful when we talked, if we sounds wrong just a little, can change the meaning of the word.

We had core module for our afternoon lesson, we learnt to draw perspective view. For today, we drew one point perspective view. I find it quite management as for now, as I had learn this in my previous IS module, however of course a little much more complicated.

For the night, we went down to the lobby for Exchange activities with the Vietnam National University students. To our surprise, most of them know how to speak fluent English. We had some ice breaking games, and it was really fun. We get to make new friends, and are of another nationality. During the games, we got to know our leader who is a Vietnamese, who I think is funny. The English pronunciation he had is also clear. After our games, we also get to have prizes which are tidbits. Overall, it was a rather fun day, knowing people and playing with people from other countries isn’t what many people can experience.
