"can you speak English?". "no( in Vietnamese)"
"speak French?". "no, but my great-grandfather can"
"can i speak to him?". "sure, he's outside"
I find out he is indeed there, just in the tomb.
"Chinese?". "yes"
Thanks God! I was so excited!
＂请问这附近哪有中餐馆？＂。 “聽不懂你說甚麼。”
(is there any Chinese restaurant ( don't understand a word you just said.)
around here?)
"speak Mandarin?". "just Cantonese!"
Ok, I give up....
You don't speak Vietnamese here, don't speak at all.
By the why, Can anyone recommend a Language Institution in ho chi Minh city. I seriously need to learn Vietnamese now.

Donysisi : To my understanding, the Chinese here simply means Cantonese. They are the majority in district 5 and all the way to Cholon. The restaurants there are sometimes manned by people who speak Cantonese only. Mandarin is foreign language to these people. Imagine you are in HongKong and then go to have Dim Sum!

In my opinion, if you would like to ask something, you should ask a young people, they may can speak English very well.
Hope that helps
