Was asked by Jackbl on how did i learn TV
Quite painful and funny...but that what you get for trying to learn without paying for a teacher and thinking it is easy to pick up (that was my thought at first and how wrong it was
)
Enjoy...
1) read through pages here and copy and paste all tv verses in self help dictionary; dun quite understand wordings and meaning. Keeping asking H88 for help till he pissed
2) As advised by some bro, go online e.g. youtube and learn from videos...not really successful since no one to correct pronunciation.
3) First vb did not want to teach me tieng viet as scared i go xao more con gai so failure too
4) decided to buy language books to read up and take H88 advise on learning 5 words a day
5) Add numerous con gai on fb and wechat for practicing writing first (on going). Make a point to write in tv even if they ask me to write in english, chinese or voice message. Just ignore. And be thick skinned
6) Met my current vb gf. Every talk video chat with her and make it a point to speak in tv since she does not understand English or chinese (another thing i learn, better a vb who not corrupt yet). And at least learn one new word a day.
7) Try not using google transit. Even if i write wrongly now, she or other con gai would correct for me. So ongoing process
Honestly speaking tv still sucks (worse than pre school standard there), but writing and understanding basic sentences getting better daily.
Practice make prefect.
