Description: Hi, I'm I.K., I'm korean and have been working at Ha Noi since August, 2007 and I'll be here at least until July, 2009. Now I'm involved in banking IT project in Viet Nam, I've been met a lot of foreign friends in Ha Noi who speaks various language(English, Japanese, Vietnamese). But I felt something missed or insufficient cause there is no continuous meet up with same interests. If there are someone who want language exchange with native speaker or want to be friends with multinationalities, it's my pleasure to host this community. Personally I'm looking for Chinese who speaks standard Chinese language(not slang). Please feel free to join us. I want to help someone who wants to practice various languages and I want to get some help from someone who can help me. Moreover if we can get together large members, we can make some plan to help Vietnamese. I want to contribute Vietnamese society who wants to learn foreign language for free. Of course multi-language capable members are all welcomed. Looking forward to seeing you soon. Name: I.K.,Yoon (just call me I.K.) ヒロ (Japanese) E-mail: heroyik@gmail.com Yahoo messenger: heroyik@yahoo.com Mobile: 093-650-0707 P.S) Basically I speak Korean, Japanese, English, little bit Vietnamese
Multi-language exchange(Korean, English, Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese) has no events coming up in the next month or so.

Wishing all best to everybody in new year, Happiness and Lucky. Bonne année

Yeap. thanks Herb. last night I met NIC who tries to learn tens of languages at a time. His approach (Hippo's approach) is quite amazing. It worth listening to their theory. It's not a usual study, but playing like singing, dancing, jumping, moving. I am just an amateur while their approaches are so professional and proven. Thanks NIC and I wish you can master as many language as you can.

I.K..:) i was too busy this afternoon. Just finished my work now. Will meet you and other survivors soon...hope everybody still alive..hehe
Frankly speaking, I don't have idea about nice place except Highlands coffee. Highlands at least guarantees quality more than average, hihi. I'll move to Lang Ha street to see Nic there(at 6pm). Doors are still open you you all. Just get in.

Hi, I.K, sorry that we couldn't join you today. Did you have a nice afternoon? Enjoy your new CDs? You must be a super fan of Highlands coffee...

Hi IK, If you like, you can come to Lang Ha, Ngo29. There is a cafe29 at the corner. When can you come? Tonight?

IK, You can try on You Tube to find out what natural is doing in our brain system pertaining to multi-lingal.Click here on web window http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=u2Ihhrx4nlg&feature=related It is Dr.Suzanne Flinn at MIT. USA NIC
Thanks, it's going to be great help!!! At first I'll take a look at Hippo Korea. See you soonest and let me try to listen to your mp3.
IK, you just hit HIPPO KOREA on search engine of google or else and click 언어교류연구소에 오신걸 환영합니다, that's you all can get what you want.NIC
IK, I left my CD in Japan, since they are very heavy, more than 70 to 80 CDs. But in MP3, I have with me now. Today's technology can make everything whole world true. My USB or SD cards can contain all of them in one piece. When I have my free time near future, you can try on it. My SD currently has English, Russian, Korean, Mandarin, Cantonese, Taiwanese, Thai, Malay, Indonesian, Hindi, Turkish, Arabic, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Swedish except Japanese. NIC
Nic, really impressive. This is what I really wanted. Would you give a chance to listen to your CD or mp3? I've never heard of that kind of CD or mp3.
IK, I speak mandarin and some cantonese also. The way I do is: Always listen to multi-languages on CD or MP3 or whatever, such as the same stories but in different languages, because the contents are the exactly same you can step by step pick up the meaning later since you know already Korean and English. But the most important thing is you always mimic sounds and do shadowing as much as you can, if you do this repeatedly, the sounds get very familiar to you, and it will be a part of your body. Then the sounds come out from your tongue whatever at the very suitable situation. You don't have to learn grammar nor writing spelling nor sentences, these capability will come later when you feel confortable speaking and hearing sounds of any languages. In Japan, I know many children who speak several languages, like today in German, tomorrow in Italian, yesterday in Korean, the day before yesterday in Chinese. This fact is also true for old people and senior citizens. It is commonly said in Africa or India and any other place, people tend to speak 10 to 100 languages, and there is no limit. One American scientist said every humanbeing has a gift of capabilty to speak about several hundreds of languages if properly motivated in appropriate circumstances. NIC

Nic, would you introduce the mothod you mentioned more detail? Is it for learning languages or for enjoying beauty of human voice? When it comes to learning foreign languages, you're right. This kind of approach is really popular in Korea. I also believe this is the most efficient way to master foreign language. Listening, Speaking(Repeating), Reading, Writing is the way how every baby learns mother tongue. I like this way, now I'm trying to re-learn Chinese in this way. I think if I can't say, I don't have to learn foreign languages. (It's my personal opinion and goal to learn languages, don't blame me)
Thanks to Paks and Paks' supporter's sweaty cooperation, Paks has just released 1st vocabulary for Vietnamese, English, Korean. Feel free to take a look at this. I created YAHOO group as follows, please register to this group if you want to share vocabulary files (MS-EXCEL) http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mle_tnh/

Hi there! I mostly listen to about 20 languages like music then my hears get accustomed to the tune of the language wave that each language has. Then a little by very little, the sounds get used to my hears and meaning followed later. I like tones that voices of humanbeing has in the world. This method is getting popular in Japan, Korea, USA, Costa Rica and Mexico now. NIC
Nic, sorry. please speak English. You're such an aggresive 2nd foreign language speaker. hihi. You're first Japanese here. You're more than welcome here. Please contribute to TNH community as well. See you soon. P.S) Nic said "Nic is Japanese too. He is now living in Vietnam while his family lives in Japan. He came here alone."
IK,私も日本人です。今ベトナムに住んでいます。家族は日本に居ます。単身赴任です。宜しく。
Thanks, Nic. Thanks for your kind cooperation. Hope you can improve your Spanish with friends there. Excuse me but is there any Japanese in your family? I saw your name, it feels like Japanese name.
Hello, This is NIC, I'm looking for a room or an apartment now. The ones I wanted, I'll do look see tomorrow. By copy this to groovyfox, as herohanoi said, I use English hereafter, I'm also studying Spanish with books, You tube, students from Spain, and dance of Argentina. I have friends in Spain so I can talk with them through SKYPE sometimes. There're bunch of homepages teaching Spanish on the web. Let's practice multi-languages.
Happy new year!!! I wish you all good luck this year and make a big fortune!!! P.S) Dear Nic and Fox, please speak English, Most of us can't get what you said.

Hi, Gerd I remember a lot of people went out to see fireworks from My Dinh stadium 31st, Dec. 2007. You can join them or you can go some cafe in the central area around Lake Hoan Kiem.
Paks is about to get started language exchange with Thao. He is preparing English vocabulary and Thao will fill in Vietnamese corresponding to given English. It's quite interesting approach to get started and seems to work well. Hope to see Paks and Thao's evolutionary output(MS-EXCEL document) soonest. ^^

Hi everyone. Nice to have such a group. I'm fluent in English and Vietnamese and interested in Japanese and Spanish. I would like to join the group for language and culture exchange :). Nice to meet you!
posté il y a environ 2 semaines par herohanoi
My goodness, what happened to this country. People are out of control and they are yelling in the road. I just know they drew the final football match with Thailand. Vietnam won the previous game and today they drew, does it means at last they won the final match? I remember we Korean also were fanatic about our nice performance of World cup 2002. I think Vietnamese has some special reason to be happy like this (This is more than usual happiness). Anyway congratulations!!!

One more thing, I lost my camera these days. It's a good idea if someone brings camera and take photographs of our group there. All of our group members can realize how nice boys and girls we are. hihi.

20th Dec is this Saturday, right? Basically I think TNH monthly meet-up is nothing to do with our group. TNH meet-up is one thing, our group is another. Let's go enjoying TNH meetup just as a TNH member. I think we'd better widen our relationship when TNH meet-up rolls. Of course this is my private opinion, don't be too serious. Let's keep in touch if we go there. Have a nice week!!!!!!!
