Okay so most of you know that I sometimes speak Vietnamese. Sometimes I speak well and sound fluent and sometimes my tongue decided that it really doesn't speak any languages at all and it sounds like mush. So, I need your help. What are some ways you study foreign languages? Have you seen any good/clean Vietnamese films with or without English subtitles? I have some cramming to do before General Conference (the Young Women's meeting on the 27th particularly). And since I know some of my friends are, in fact, native Viet speakers, what do you suggest.
Any translators/interpreters out there, how do you prepare? What do you do to keep from getting nervous and racing/swallowing words. I'd like to sound like I do understand the language when I read this time. What do you suggest.
And if anyone wonders what I'm up to this month??? I'll be home, studying Viet, stop by and say hi if your in the area.

Hi there, Amanda! I just found your blog--hope all went well with the Viet translation. I'm sure you did wonderfully. I wish I could say that I spoke *any* Vietnamese anymore, but it's all been washed out by French and Spanish. How sad! Still, I admire your ability to keep it up. Tu Anh used to tell me that if I ate hot peppers, they would loosen my tongue and help me speak better. I think it mostly caused indigestion, but you could always try. :)
