>What do you think of foreigners trying to learn Vietnamese?

waste of time, the language it self is too hard to learn, and when you finish learning it, what will you gonna use it in? get a job here and earn 10 million dong a month?

>Do you know any White people that are fluent in Vietnamese (or similar southeast Asian language)?

ahh yes, some white ppl come here to become actress or to become famous or Influencer

dont really remember them but i do recall a few times i saw them appeared on TV, on VTV3 or 2, dont know.

okay, so after 2 minutes of research, i do have some few names for u

1.Kyo York (american, he live in NY, he moved to Ho Chi Minh city to work as a singer, he is also an not so famous actress here as well)

2.Kim Lý: he is basically a hapa with half vietnamese blood and half Swedish blood, he isnt really that famous here

3. some nigger work as an english teacher, his name is Dan or some shit like that, a famous youtuber here, i hate that nigger. He is white but the way he act make white look like shit, he insulted our national hero (the person he insult is general Vo Nguyen Giap, aka the guy who lead us crushed those cheese surrendered monkey), its like insulting guy like Washington or Lincoln in the US.

you get the idea, some do come here to get famous.

> If a White person (or happa) was raised in Vietnam would they be considered really Vietnamese?

yes, if he or her speak the same language as us then he or she is considered a native as us commoner

> If I learn to decipher your strange bird noises, will I get a brown-skinned asian 3d waifu who will cook things with fish sauce for me?

yes, of course

i just assume that you prefer brown skin than pale skin right? girl or woman nowadays, most of them have pale skin (something must have fucked our gene)

Thanks for the response.

>waste of time, the language it self is too hard to learn

Honestly, that'd be part of the fun of it. You guys' language is both tonal and analytical (2 features that I find challenging but in an attractive way) but it's still written in an alphabet rather than a logography (like Chinese) or an abugida (like Thai or Khmer). I realize that it'd be hard and I'd haedcore fuck up the tones in the beginning - especially if I learned mostly via reading rather than talking with native speakers.

What I wanted to know was more along the lines of how I'd be perceived as an westerner trying to integrate into Vietnamese culture and society.

>what will you gonna use it in?

To talk with Vietnamese people mostly. The traditionalist element of your society would be what would draw me in tbh. The fact that you're not a world power, so you can largely avoid modernization, but you're still a regional power with solid stability is a factor too. Plus, you guys have really great food and your cost of living is pretty low.

I know that there are other places to consider that have the things I want - namely Eastern Europe, which is still a very big possibility for me . . . though I've got a feeling that it's going to get a lot less comfortable to live there in the coming years tbh. Not to mention, I'd be lying by omission if I left out the fact that (as a 6'1" White guy) I find the idea of living in a place where I'm 8" taller than the average person more than a little appealing - no offense.

Places like Africa, The Middle East, and South America are kind of off the table for me too because I'm not a big fan of my chances of getting violently murdered drastically increasing.

>some white ppl come here to become actress or to become famous or Influencer

Is it common to associate Westerners with famous people in Vietnam? As in, are there not little expat communities in the bigger cities? I just like the idea of living in a homogeneous society with traditional values and norms that is not going to experience radical changes during the life times of myself or my children. If I'm romanticizing your country in a way that is inaccurate, please, feel free to tell me.

>yes, if he or her speak the same language as us then he or she is considered a native as us commoner

That's good to know.

>i just assume that you prefer brown skin than pale skin right?

By Brown I meant the olive colour that makes your skin a little darker than east Asians. I as also referencing the fact that American G.I.s used to call Vietnamese girls "little Brown sisters". It's also the reason I used a pic of Nagatoro in the OP.

>girl or woman nowadays, most of them have pale skin

hmmm that's interesting. So, you think Vietnamese people used to be darker than they are now? In all the pics I've seen, old and recent, Vietnamese people have always just been olive skinned.
