Around the story `Many people regret neglecting English`, reader Phong Huynh Dinh shares about his own success lessons thanks to learning foreign languages:

People often blame circumstances and chase after degrees but forget how they are living?

Then the opportunity came, after 2 years, I was accepted to work on a project for a multinational company.

Sharing the same opinion as above, reader Hung emphasized the importance of foreign languages in finding career development opportunities:

I am 50 years old this year, and my career today is thanks to diligently studying English.

After graduating from college, I went to Saigon to enroll in university transfer studies at night and learn a few business management certificates, while working during the day.

Most viewed during the day:

> ‘Didn’t recognize the Vietnamese team in the last 20 minutes against Indonesia’

> How I taught my child to count when he was 22 months old

> Silently selling contaminated tap water to people

> Should I buy land in a large suburban area or a convenient house in the center of Saigon?

> ‘Anyone who can’t drink alcohol will have very few friends’

Learning from my own experience, when I had children, I learned foreign languages very early.

As for my second son, who is in 10th grade this year, I also plan to send him to my brother’s school to study.
