I have seen some of my students using some Vietnamese keyboard which takes them ages to type a short sentence or text. Some students just find it too difficult to type Vietnamese with accents, so they go accent-less now. :))
I did a small survey on my facebook page https://www.facebook.com/LearnVietnameseWithAnnie to ask Vietnamese learners to share their Vietnamese typing experience. So here are their sharing. I hope you find it helpful too.
Lớp tiếng Việt của tôi với ba sinh viên người Mỹ đến từ Viện Các vấn đề Đông Nam Á – Đại học Chiang Mai, Thái Lan kết thúc vào tuần trước. Tôi tự hỏi tôi có phải là một giáo viên khó tính không, vì sinh viên của tôi luôn gọi tôi là “killer”. Dù sao, đây là một trong những trải nghiệm tuyệt vời nhất của tôi như là một giáo viên tiếng Việt.
My Vietnamese class with three American students from Institute of Southeast Asian Affairs – Chiang Mai University, Thailand was done last week. I was wondering if I am a strict teacher, because my students kept calling me “killer”. Anyway, this is one of my most wonderful experiences as a Vietnamese teacher.
