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!).

05 Aug 2010 Our guide was fabulous. We were made to wait for 30 minutes to wait for someone to catch up in a taxi and she handled the grumbling and complaints VERY well because several peple were most vociferous in their complaining.

07 Jan 2012 Our tour guide Henry spoke about many interesting things about history & culture along the way, but quite a few times his enthusiasm speeded up his talking which made it sometimes hard to comprehend , the Temple was ornate & beautiful to see lunch was an insight into local cuisine & the tunnels although a little rushed were very interesting . All in all a good day out & would recommend it to anyone :-)
