Young Vietnamese are interested in learning Russian and obtain education in Russia, the Consul General of Socialist Republic of Vietnam Huynh Minh Tinh claimed, according to the internet portal VestiRegion.
He has reminded that more than 50 thousand Vietnamese graduated from higher education institutions in USSR, and then in Russia. The Consul has also shared that Russian language is frequently learned in Vietnam as a first foreign language, many work and live in Russia. All those factors work towards the strengthening of relations between our countries.
Huynh Minh himself has started to learn Russian in the Graduate School of Vietnam in 1970s. He's admitted that the learning process was difficult enough: unusual alphabet, grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary. Upon completing the Graduate School his marks weren't that good. However, after studying in USSR he has realized that “Russian language as a boundless ocean, where the one would always be the little part, even if he learns swimming.” Such Soviet classical books as Quiet Flows the Don and How Steel Was Tempered are among his favourites; he also loves Russian-Soviet movies such as Irony of Fate.
The diplomat has expressed confidence that many Vietnamese will join the Total Dictation action.
Let us remember that about a thousand of cities around the world will take part in Total Dictation on April 14. Vladivostok became the capital of the campaign this year, where Guzel Yachina will read her text at the central ground of the campaign.
