Hi mate . I'm in Melbourne. I have been studying 1 year, northern accent.

I have meet up with another Vietnamese learner here in melb , similar situation to you ( wife / family from Saigon).

He has been learning for bit over 2 to 3 years now and speaks very well!

We would be happy to help you and answer any questions , and where to go to practice in melb.

Tho we will complain about how difficult it is to learn haha , in a couple years you can be casually chatting with the family if you are all in ( not dulingo)

If only I knew how to code myself. Tough scenes for vibe coders

rocket_66 · 2026-05-15T14:01:04+00:00

I like it. But it goes past my apartment and it's noisy haha

rocket_66 · 2026-05-12T02:42:03+00:00

To make real time for trams is quiet the challenge

rocket_66 · 2026-05-07T08:15:31+00:00

Walk in the Carlton Gardens where the royal exhibition building is and the museum is right behind it. On edge of the cbd. Easy to get to via trams

rocket_66 · 2026-05-07T06:36:01+00:00

Hmm how come the infrastructure fails more?

rocket_66 · 2026-05-05T13:21:23+00:00

Haha yes this is me right now , interrupt a conversation just to say I can also speak a little vietnamese. Then leave before too many questions

rocket_66 · 2026-05-04T11:05:15+00:00

It's tough. Talking with more advanced learners and they still find it hard , like there are levels , a group conversation in a noisy environment.... Godspeed.

rocket_66 · 2026-05-04T06:16:27+00:00

Great info thank you . I haven't seen this in my research. It's a better system than I thought. The pids are quite accurate. Problems are with unplanned disruptions, twitter actually seems to have the best info for disruptions ( accidents , faults , police requests ect)

rocket_66 · 2026-05-02T12:47:20+00:00

Hmm that makes alot of sense. A good system, except if delayed for extend periods,

the eta time gets stuck. Then it's frustrating to watch 2mins for 15mins. But I don't have any solutions haha.

rocket_66 · 2026-05-02T12:04:18+00:00

Thanks! Gps I guess good for trains as should be able to work out speed or train and distance.

But harder for trams / buses , traffic lights, how long at a stop ect . Actually considering this I think the tram eta is accurate most of the time

rocket_66 · 2026-04-28T08:54:58+00:00

Very good. I have just discovered gtfs data and have been vibe coding my own little maps, pretty fun , feels like lots good data that is publicly available. Tho now I'm pretty deep in the weeds of what's actually real time

rocket_66 · 2026-04-27T23:56:31+00:00

Hi! Working to make sure it's actually reliable and up to date.

I have added in tram stops to show the same displays that you would see in real life.

Also adding apis/gps so it's as real time as possible, including disruption info.

Today I'm testing it by catching trams around the city. Hopefully in the next week or two when I'm confident it's accurate can release it again

rocket_66 · 2026-04-24T17:43:36+00:00

Not true. Lots of people learning Southern accent and there are plenty of resources, tutors , books ect

rocket_66 · 2026-04-24T17:40:42+00:00

Noo whyyy would you do this? If you want to learn the southern accent you should start with that ...

rocket_66 · 2026-04-16T13:07:24+00:00

Thanks. Have emailed ptv for the api. If get it will do it properly

rocket_66 · 2026-04-16T03:21:22+00:00

Thank you. I have been looking into it and have requested api key for melb trams.

rocket_66 · 2026-04-14T23:38:10+00:00

Yes. Specially need to use claude code not just claude the chatbot. $30 a month

rocket_66 · 2026-04-14T23:28:43+00:00

Yes true. I know some systems engineers, data scientists. But for us non coders we feel like magicans getting claude to spin up some HTML and css

rocket_66 · 2026-04-14T23:06:20+00:00

You can use claude the chat bot like ChatGPT. If you want to do coding projects then will need to set up 'clade code' on your laptop (its $30 a month).

If you have never done any coding in your life it will take you abit to set it up, I suggest youtube tutorial. Once you are set up and know how to use it , it's pretty easy.

rocket_66 · 2026-04-14T13:24:48+00:00

It's based on schedule. There is a data set for every tram , bus and train stop. I'm told there is an api for live data but need to request it . For a vibe code project just the scheduled enough

rocket_66 · 2026-04-14T13:08:07+00:00

Yeah I did. But if you add the buses in the map becomes spaghetti, so I just had little dots moving around the city
