I browse the the English folder and see a lot of postings. Funny is that the postings are all in Vietnamese, except the 1st posting posted by the founder Lê Trần Đạt .
It seems to me that people do want to learn English, but their courage quickly dwindles if they have to write and probably have to speak in English. Some of members asked for or exposed the “secrecy” of learning English and the solutions could be all fine, but futile and useless if they don’t dare to write in English or to speak English to a foreigner.
Vietnam is becoming the most popular travel destination for foreigners in SE Asia -just behind Thailand. The chance to chat or to befriend an English speaking tourist is huge… If they don’t take advantage of these opportunities, they will never learn (to write and to speak) English.
A member of this forum @otaku_professor shows me how brave he can be. He writes in English and is not afraid that what he has written is right or wrong in (grammatical) English. He just writes, writes and writes. I bet his English is so good that he has no problem hearing English. I admire his courage and I told him that he should just try to write English correctly for his future career. @otaku_professor wisely recognized and said:
seriously, programmer who can’t read and understand english is incompetent to survival in this work, so as my opinion, what you should do NOT is learn code, what should should do is learn english right and now, Vietnamese resource is so poor and really hard to undertand more than english. Starting with turn all language in your device to english, and make a habit when face with new word you don’t know, not copy and paste all the line of text, just type the word you don’t understand onto Google Translate.

I wish that IT developers could have as much courage as @otaku_professor.
