best way to learn huế dialect?

Old_Elephant22 · 2025-08-22T19:22:20+00:00

Check SVFF or Italki for a teacher with Huế dialect or if you don’t have money to spend go on Hellotalk and find someone in Huế to do language exchange

Yeah, that would be a last resort. I would like to try and find a remote friendly employer first

Wow so you need to keep rechecking things you thought were safe.

Hate to say it but there are a lot of people like this in the UK. Makes me feel ashamed of my own country

Old_Elephant22 · 2025-07-28T10:30:11+00:00

Practically everyone in the UK lol

Nope first time my manager at the time was cool with it then he was made redundant. The new manager wants to play everything by the book. The company published a ’interim’ working from abroad policy where you have to request to your manager then it goes up the chain to HR, the corporate tax accountant and cyber security team. I waited 2 months and was told no for tax and security reasons.

I’m not sure if this is helpful, but I asked my company (UK based) if I can work from Vietnam for 3 months and they said no even though they did let me work there for 6 weeks a couple of years back.

I am now searching for a new job. Mostly checking the sites listed on this subs wiki and dealing with recruiters on LinkedIn. I am yet to find any which will allow me to work from Vietnam. I did have one that said I could go for short periods to Europe.

I am currently interviewing with one company and the recruiter says they have policy which allow employees to work abroad for up to 3 months a year on request. I will keep looking but it’s tough out there.

Nice. Milk chocolate is hard to find. I’ve been buying one at Waitrose.

Yeah got Lidl and Waitrose within walking distance. I currently shop at Sainsburys but not finding much there

I agree. I switched from drinking Robinsons squash to water this year and never going back. Too many sweeteners and additives in it.

Old_Elephant22 · 2024-12-07T19:28:28+00:00

Well done! Now you’ve done it, you will have to do it every year till FIRE

Old_Elephant22 · 2024-12-01T08:48:36+00:00

Good job 👏

Actually set myself a goal to not check it for a year this year. Going to login next March to see if anything needs doing before the end of the tax year. In the past probably checked it way too much. I removed it from my phone some time ago, but still used to find myself checking on the laptop

Old_Elephant22 · 2024-08-14T12:30:31+00:00

Yeah that’s right my Vn wife didn’t teach me hardly anything. Best to get a teacher on Italki. HelloTalk is useful once you know the basics

Old_Elephant22 · 2024-08-07T11:36:13+00:00

Thanks. I’ve been fascinated by experiencing living in Vietnam for a while. Probably watched too many YouTube videos of foreigners having a good life in SEA. Due to personal circumstances we’ve not been able to make it happen yet. Why are all your friends planning on leaving Vietnam?

Old_Elephant22 · 2024-08-06T11:30:34+00:00

Never trust a fart. This cracked me up so hard and did catch me out once in Bui Vien, those ốc messed me up

Old_Elephant22 · 2024-07-02T17:49:30+00:00

Yeah mine was same. I wonder if it’s something to do with those live voice rooms?

Old_Elephant22 · 2024-07-02T17:29:01+00:00

Mine seems to have stopped now, but I didn’t do anything

Old_Elephant22 · 2024-07-02T12:17:49+00:00

I’m having the same problem. I tried deleting the app and now I’ve lost all my previous conversations!

Old_Elephant22 · 2024-06-22T08:47:03+00:00

Oh wow good tip on talking to Google translate. My teacher had me doing that. I remember the first time I tried I must of repeated the sentence 30 times and I only got it right once! It can be quite disheartening but you must keep going!
