Có một nhận định vô căn cứ nhưng được lan truyền rộng rãi và cũng được nhiều người chấp nhận, rằng tiếng Việt không chính xác, hay nói đúng hơn, ngữ pháp tiếng Việt không chính xác bằng ngữ pháp tiếng Pháp, tiếng Anh hoặc tiếng Nga…, tùy theo người đưa ra nhận định biết thứ tiếng nào.

Trong dân gian, người ta hay nói “Phong ba bão táp không bằng ngữ pháp Việt Nam” để ngụ ý rằng ngữ pháp tiếng Việt rất khó, “chẳng biết đâu mà lần”.

VietNamNet Bridge – Vietnam has vowed to improve students’ English skills by pouring trillions of dong into English teaching programs, but the majority of university graduates cannot communicate in English.

The high percentage of students lacking basic and professional English skills is one of the biggest problems of Vietnam’s university education.

A survey conducted of 18 universities in Vietnam found that first-year students can get 220-245 score out of 990 TOEIC scores. This means that students would need 360 teaching hours more, or 480 periods to obtain 450-500 TOEIC score, the minimum score candidates need to be shortlisted by employers.

Meanwhile, Trang Bui from JLL Vietnam commented that the number of credit card holders is increasing, which is a factor that will change consumer behavior.

However, despite the attractive factors, many online retailers still fail. In August, Lingo.vn suddenly shut down without any notice in advance. Tiếp tục đọc “Vietnam’s online market: Some shut down, others pocket big money” →

VietNamNet Bridge – Economic growth based on natural resource exploitation and a cheap labor force has reached the critical point. Economists say Vietnam has no choice but to follow a sustainable development strategy.

Vietnam earlier this year received an ‘expected gift’ from PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC). The auditing firm, one of the ‘big four’, reported that Vietnam economy ranked 32nd in the world in 2016 with GDP of $595 billion, including PPP (purchasing power parity) formula.

With the predicted average growth rate of 5.1 percent in 2016-2050, PwC believes that Vietnam would be the 20th largest economy in the world by 2050 with GDP of $3.176 trillion (in PPP), higher than that of Thailand, Malaysia, Canada and Australia.
