You missed the point kimtran0411.  charmavietnam is saying you mis-spelled the word "Experience" and instead you used the word "Experiment".  Teachers experimenting on their students are basically teachers who don't know anything.

So to use correct English, you should have written:

I used to teach Vietnamese. I had experiment experience about teaching Vietnamese. If you like....

Since you didn't say you were an English teacher, I didn't fault you for your wrong usage of English; I am just explaining charmavietnam's post.

Em oi!
That's not Anthony who replied to your post but me
Now you proved yourself that you are not qualified enough to teach Vietnamese! Better you should check alphabets and study again!

There're 29 letters in the Vietnamese alphabet: a, ă, â, b, c, d, đ, e, ê, g, h, i, k, l, m, n, o, ô, ơ, p, q, r, s, t, u, ư, v, x, y.

Maybe a Vietnamese doesn't count the a, ă, â, as three separate letters?  If so then, a ă â = 1, d đ = 1, e ê= 1, o ô ơ =1, u ư = 1.

Hmm...that would be 22 letters.  Ok try again, maybe just the vowels?  If so then, a ă â = 1, e ê= 1, o ô ơ =1, u ư = 1.

Hmm...23 letters.

So....What's five off between friends?

And why do you care if kimtran0411 is responding to Anthony's post that was initially written in on April 6, 2013?  About 6 months ago?  I'm sure he's probably married to a Vietnamese lady by now and learning all his Vietnamese from her.

I am a Vietnamese and I am good ENOUGH at Vietnamese to confirm that there are 29 letters in Vietnamese alphabet. And importantly, why do I care responding to your post? Because I do care about Vietnamese language though you can get a quick search on Google to confirm that ) 😃

i would like to answer your question: how many alphabets are there in Vietnamese language? 24 alphabets

so kimtran0411 has just proved that charmavietnam is right. There are 29 letters in Vietnamese alphabets.

Where do you get 24 alphabets from? Where would you even get a single alphabet with 24 letters from?

There's only one alphabet, with 29 letters, and 5 tonal marks.

Back to school for you!

You should study Vietnamese at *name of crappy spammy vietnamese school deleted*, I used to study there and this course took me a fair price.

Well,it has been my great pleasure to study here. They arranged classes for me according to my schedule, which is very comfortable. And my teachers are great.

I have learn new grammars and lots of new vocabularies. This helps me in day-to-day conversation with the Vietnamese Community. The location is great, it is so close to downtown. All in all I have learn a lot of Vietnamese and about Vietnamese culture here and it's so much fun.

Love your English grammar, Mr Keigh. From Australia? Really? How about from SPAMania?

Really, guys, you'll do better promoting your "school" by getting good teachers. Word of mouth travels well, and I haven't heard a single good report.

What is the average price rate per hour  from great english teacher?

This is the kind of post that just makes me shake my head; it's bad enough the person claiming to be an English teacher is functionally illiterate but has the audacity to claim to be a "great" English teacher. This is a good example of an oxymoron. Or maybe I'm just an old picky grouch.

IDB, who was claiming to be a great english teacher? I think they just wanted to know what it costs.

Exactly - do they/he want to know what to charge or what to pay? Not only that, the subject is, "I want to learn Vietnamese."

Alright, fair enough....they should have posted "i want to learn english, what does it cost for a good teacher?"  okok.

The way I read it was that they wanted to know what to charge someone for lessons.

I also thought they wanted to know how much to charge but was surprised that someone with such bad English would consider themselves good teachers. No offence, just how it looked to me. We once had a Philippine guy advertising here as an English teacher and his spiel was really good; so good it was obvious he was a con man. He used so many big words, I doubt any potential students could understand his post. ha ha
