You don't have to understand Vietnamese to be able to find non fat milk. Usually the illustrations on the box will give you an indication, such as the silhouette of a woman's body with a small waist, etc. etc. Also, they usually put the percentage of milkfat on the box somewhere, so look for things like "99.5%", which means it's 99.5% fat free.

Even easier is just to buy imported UHT milk in a box from Australia or New Zealand. All those brands' boxes are printed in English, and most brands have skim milk included.

As for understanding the SMS messages from the phone provider - better get used to that. You'll learn what they mean after a while.

And you'll get a whole bunch of them to practice on.....

Non fat milk you can see "Không béo" or "Không đường" on the box.

Thanks for the help. I will stick to buying milk I can read.
