Vietnamese Language
The Vietnamese language is a very difficult one to learn. Being a tonal language, with regional variations, it is nigh on impossible for a short-term traveller to get their mouth and tongue around some of the pronunciations (so it is very easy to say something impolite or inappropriate... or very funny!).

07 Oct 2011 Very interesting and fun. Such an experience to go into the tunnels only to find that they were hot and very small - we learnt a lot about how the Vietnamese lived in the tunnels during the war. The guns going off at the firing range added to the experience !
