"We are pleased to see that with the deepening of China-Vietnam relations, the number of Vietnamese people learning Chinese is increasing, and the demand for learning Chinese and studying in China is also constantly rising," he said.

Xi Hui, minister of the Chinese Embassy in Vietnam, said cooperation in education and youth exchange plays an active role in enhancing understanding and promoting traditional friendship between China and Vietnam, and youths are the future of the relationship between the two countries.

China announced that in the next five years, it will give Vietnam no less than 1,000 Chinese Government Scholarships and no less than 1,000 International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarships, helping Vietnam train highly qualified human resources and teachers of Chinese language education, she said.

Vietnam and China are communist countries. There is no border between communist countries.

The are fake Vietnamese and they are migrants from China. Not unlike Chinese Singaporeans.

In Vietnam, the likelyhood of Nguyen and Le being natives are high. The rest of surname are likely descendants of Chinese. VIetnamese assimilate Chinese so successfully that Chinese forget their forefathers.

Most native Vietnamese I saw on Youtubes who speak Chinese do speak quite well and fluently after learning for relatively short period of time. Many Vietnamese vocubs are very similar to Chinese. Vietnamese have the innate gene to speak Chinese well.

Can you understand any Chinese ? You can see the scores in the youtube she is showing at some point on chart. Like all universities in the world, some studies require higher entrance marks than the others esp if there are large number of students want to study those fields.

Lots Vietnamese on youtube who learned to speak Chinese say it's much easier for them to learn to speak Chinese than say English or German.

 

[大汉奸柳传志]

Yes because Vietic has chinese root. We share same cultural and language backgrounds.
English, German share with French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese the same cultural and language root: Latin.
The differences lie in writings, grammar and pronunciation.
For people with same same they have easier to speak similar languages.
The most difficulty in Chinese is mastering the writing, the script.

Chinese writing wouldn't be that difficult if Vietnam hadn't abandoned the writing in the last century and adopted Latin alphabets instead. It would be relatively easy to learn the characters from early ages just as Chinese kids do at schools as their first native language. One has to learn about 3000 Chinese characters to be proficient in everyday Chinese readings and writings even though there are about 100,000 Chinese characters in total. But, one has to learn way over 3000 English words to be good in English usage. So, English language and writing are easy to learn in the beginning but difficult as the learning gets. Chinese writing is the opposite, more difficult to learn at beginning, but gets easier later on.
