Nhung toi biet ba thu tieng!!

 

No way that I am going to be able to translate Vietnamese ...... but I know a man that can !!!!!

 

Wow, how'd you know that was Vietnamese?

 

I have visited Vietnam a couple of times for work (we have an office and a couple of projects there). I can generally tell most Asian languages apart, but cannot understand what is actually said ...... not a very useful ability I know !!

 

Wow, that's cool. I'm jealous. Haven't been to Vietnam since 1982.

 

BTW what'd you say up there?

 

I said (in Japanese - in case you weren't sure !)

I don't speak Spanish - Do you understand Japanese?

What did you say in Vietnamese??

 

Not a lick of Japanese!

Ong TJ nay gioi qua. Noi duoc tieng Nhat! = Mr. TJ is talented. He speaks Japanese!

Nhung toi biet ba thu tieng!! = But I know three languages!!

 

I only speak a little Japanese, just enough to get by

 

I speak english...barely.
