Vietnamese grandmas make for enthusiastic students, saying it’s ‘never too old to learn’

[@BabyBugBug]

This is absolutely true! I have never understood people who stop learning past a certain age. BRAVO ladies!!

[@silas8046]

Both the teacher and the grandma have beautiful handwritings 😘

[@chgr4674]

My neighbor here in Germany also studies English. She grew up in the Netherlands and then married a German engineer. They once lived in Saudi Arabia for 10 years during the 80s so she already speaks Arabic. She is 78 and has decided to not be a boring old lady. She wants to travel and studies English to be able to communicate while traveling. She also does belly dancing, sings in a gospel choir and volunteers in a sanctuary for hedgehogs 🦔

[@BabyBugBug]

I love that!! ❤❤❤

[@chgr4674]

@@BabyBugBug me too. I love if old people can enjoy their time and don’t get grouchy but stay happy and interested. Also I love that many universities here in Germany offer university programs for the elderly. They pay 150€ for one semester and then can attend a huge variety of classes: medicine, pharmacy, law, economics, music, psychology, theology, archaeology, maths, etc. these classes are specially organised for them as they don’t need to get a degree, it’s because it’s interesting. They have attendance, hand in assignments, give presentations but I don’t think they have exams or very long academic research papers. Everyone can attend, no matter what your career was, or if you ever even graduated. Many of the elderly students are so cute. They start behaving again like young students. Giggling in the hallway and complaining about homework. I just love it. I think especially many elderly ladies who were expected to be housewives, finally have a chance to study at a university

Learning doesn't choose age if you really want to. My deepest respect to you grandma.

I love their determination to learn a never language despite of their old age. It's amazing.

This reminds me of my mom's childhood friend's mother in China who started to learn English at the ripe old age of 80.

Off topic, but what on earth is with the music? It makes the grandmas sound like they're part of a circus.

[@pia_mater]

LOL so true

[@Pheebe.Dee.]

Learning English is not that complicated. Once they have mastered English, they can communicate with foreigners from the West.

[@Blaze6432]

Foreigners from the world* English is a world language now.

Im chinese indonesian 22 yrs, and when my grandma was 10, she love japanese culture and she wanna learn japanese but her father dont let her to due to how japanese soldiers were evil to chinese in ww2

[@dheanadaffodils2752]

Wow, her case’s kinda same like me. I’m also a Chinese Indonesian, and I’m actually interested in studying Japanese and Korean but my father forbids me to do so because of the sentiments he had with Japan and Korea :(

English is way easier

[@BabyBugBug]

Compared to most Indo European languages, yes it is. The hardest thing for people are the idiomatic phrases and pronunciation.

[@pepelepew999]

BUT!!! why ENGLISH ? why not Malay? why not Tagalog? why not Arabic? why not Japanese? why not German? why not Spanish? does the rise of the 60's GI lovers in saigon is on the trend again?

[@sreenathsurendran853]

Learn Chinese instead , it's a shame the Vietnamese use Latin script , atleast use the Thai script.

[@ToiChutGongFlu]

idiot spotted

[@chithiennguyen1371]

Vietnam doesn't bow to the Chinese or Thai.

[@chithiennguyen1371]

Latin is easier to use and learn than wasting time on Chinese characters.

[@Magnetshroom]

What if hangul or cyrillic were used in Vietnamese?

[@Magnetshroom]

Chinese characters take a lot of time to learn since I need to memorize at least 1000-3000 characters just to read a one wikipedia page. I guess it is the reason why King Sejong the Great invented Hangeul
