Even though there are some posts written in English, there are ALOT more written in Vietnamese. It would be nice if someone (or) a group effort could reply to all Vietnamêse posts and translate them into English. That way people like Trick and I and other non-Vietnamese readers could read ALL the posts on this website and not just a select "few". I feel that this would help thê Vietnamese who are trying to learn English too. They could read the Vietnamese translation and the English trânslation and learn from both by cỏmparing the two languages by reading the English words. I feel both Vietnamese readers and English readers would benifit from having both translations on "ALL" posts. Hey guys and gals, I want to read what you write and I am sure non-English reading people would like to know what we English writers write! Let's all work together to make this website the best on the Internet to "benefit" EVERYONE!!! This website is a great place to be!! I absolutely love spending time here. This website is the best!!!! Thanks to "ALL" of you for making this website possible and making it feel comfortable like you feel right at home here. I love all of you! Let's all be friends and work together...Right??? P.S. I am willing to help anyone thât wants help. Just let me know. OK??? I will be looking on line for you. I hope to get to chat with any or all of you!!! I would like to meet any and all of you. see ya, kelly

Sooner or later, you are going to learn, just as I did, that there is a difference between KNOWING the path and WALKING the path.
Thank you for your thoughts about this forum. I'm really happy to hear what you say. Your idea about translation of Vietnamese posts is very good. But the problem is that there are not many members who can translate from Vietnamese into English well (although I'm sure many can translate from English into Vietnamese easily). And for those who can AND are willing to translate, time may be a problem to them. Remember that in our country, most people have to 'go online' from a public site (an Internet cafe or sth like that), just a few access the Internet from home, although this number is increasing rapidly. However, the true difficulty of carrying out your idea is simply that the number of members of our forum is still rather small (now just about 100). And the number of members who are really active is even smaller. You know, this is a new forum, and this is what all newly-established forums face. However, this difficulty of our forum is even bigger, it is due to the purpose of our forum: language teaching. If it's about IT, programming, web designing, or entertainment, friendship & teenage discussions... I'm sure the number of members & posts would rise very quickly - that's the situation in Vietnam. I've joined many forums created by Vietnamese people and it's easy for me to realize this fact. In a forum for webmasters or teenagers for example, it's quite normal that a topic would get up to 50 or 60 replies. But in a forum for English learning purposes, it's VERY different: I joined an English learning forum which has about 4000 members, and it's quite normal that a topic gets hundreds of views but only 1 or 2 replies - the percent of really active members in these forums is very low. People just read others' tutorials & pieces of advice to help their learning - they don't care to offer theirs. Language learning tutorials & advice are often clear & easy to follow, thus people often don't have to ask anything (unlike topics in technical fields). This causes an overral 'inactiveness' in the forum. I'm going to take care of this problem by diversifying the topics covered in the forum (first I'm going to create a new box for webmasters). Hope this will increase both the number of members & posts in the forum. Right now I'm too busy to take any big change in the forum and to post more helpful resources. It's just been a new school year and I've got several assignments at university to do now. The amount of time I can be online is very little. From September 1st I'll be a bit freer & only from then will I be able to develop the site more seriously. Now I'm depending almost entirely on our forum's members to popularize our community by recommending this forum to their friends. Kelly & Trick, if you want this forum to develop & benefit everyone, you can help by inviting people who want to learn Vietnamese & are willing to teach their language to our forum - this will also draw more Vietnamese people who want to learn a foreign language to our forum. If the number of these people is large enough, I'll create a new box specifically for those who want to learn Vietnamese. I know some places where I can reach these people, but now I'm just too busy... That's some issues that I must say right now. Thank you for your contributive ideas & support. Again, I'm very happy to know that you find this site helpful. We'll try to make it better, won't we?
Thanks for your support Trick!! I am glad you agree with me. I pray others do also. I think that this will take a "GROUP EFFORT" from everybody who is willing to help, but it will be well worth it and "BENEFICIAL" for "ALL PEOPLE" who come to this site. JESUS lives in MY heart too. Thanks again, Have a BLESSED day. Kelly Tocaza, Thanks for your message too. You are doing a wonderful job with this site. Like I said, being here feels like I'm right at home. It is comfortable here and that feels good. We will make it better, you are right, but let's ALL help eachother. "ALL who are interested in the GOAL of this site need to help. It needs to be a "GROUP EFFORT", like I said. We can make this site and this forum the best to come to on the web! I am very EXCITED. Like I said before let me know if I can do anything to help. I am willing and able!!!!! See you online! Thanks again Tocaza, Kelly

Like I said, you will help very much if you can invite those who want to learn Vietnamese and are willing to teach their language to come to our forum. This will also draw more Vietnamese people to our forum, as it becomes a real language-exchange website. Now I don't have much time so I can't do this invitation thing. When more people wanting to learn Vietnamese come to our forum, I'll set up new boxes particularly for Vietnamese studying.
Tacaza-if yall can do as much as you can to try to get the posts into english then I am sure me and Kelly can try to put the posts into proper English so that yall can see how it should be written. Just an idea. I am trying to talk my girlfriend into getting on here. She speaks Vietnamese but does not know how to spell it that well. I think this would benefit her because she will have to learn how to spell.
Hallo Trick and Kellyjo Welcome to our forum and I hope that we would enjoy here 2gether. By the way, could I ask you for your ASL ? I guess that ur not living in UK rite?

Thank you for your good saying :;): I will try my best to translate some Vietnamese lang into my rae English if you ask for and,ofcuz if I have enough time to do. With friendly, cyclo
Dear Cyclo, Thank you for your kind words!!!! I would love to pm you and chit chat with you. I live in Bowling Green, Kentucky, USA. My yahoo instant messẻnger is kydutchgirl. Look for me.... It was great to hear from someone like yourself and to be able to read some english once again on this site. It has been a while since there has been much english to read on hear. It saddens me that I can not read Vietnamese. I hate the language barrier between us..... I am a nail tech teacher at a local Beauty Colllege in our town and ALL my students are Vietnamese and I have the same problem with them. They speak "little" English. I can understand their broken English where noone else can where I work. I feel like I have a gift for this. Again, thanks for writing back. It was GREAT to hear from you....... sincerely with much warmth, Kelly Jo P.S. I look forward to hearing from you again!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Jo, As you see, i'm an easy man and always find out some ways to joke. I thought that you'd have a bit unhappy feeling to my words,didn't you? As I said, I'm an easy and outgoing man. I have lots friends all over the world and many of them living in US. I would like to send PMs to you but,in this time I'm too busy for a good chating or a date with you ,I'm very sorry for that. You see, my English is still rea and I would like to practise much more,but the time is always limited...and ' the language-barrier between us ' is too big for jumping over (hehe). Hope that I would join you in some day. I hope that my poor language would not make a missunderstood Have a good time here friend! yours, cyclo
I am also from the USA. Louisiana is where I live and I was going to school in New Orleans but that got wrecked. I am in the same boat as Kelly but I am moving up to live with some Vietnamese people in 2 weeks. I am sure that my Viet will improve while I am there.
