Vietnamese Text Book/ Vietnamese Teaching Group
Foreword

The Vietnamese language is spoken by over 80 million people in Vietnam and a few more million in other countries. It is of great interest to foreigners who want to communicate with Vietnamese people and know Vietnam’s culture. More and more people, especially those from English speaking countries, attends Vietnamese courses. For the time being, there is a variety of Vietnamese coursebooks designed for different levels of learners. In using these books in our teaching, VTG’s tutors, however, find them not very effective for learners to follow. Therefore, the tutors in VTG have made great efforts to produce a new coursebook basing on our experience and the available course books as references. At this time, we just compose the book for beginners.

The book is designed to enable learners to perceive the language better and use it naturally in daily practical situations.It includes 10 units covering familiar topics designed for learners from beginners to higher levels. In preparing this course book, it might be impossible to avoid all imperfections, we highly appreciate any feedback or suggestions from all users for future revision of this book. If it is a success, VTG will continue to develop higher-level course books to meet the need of learners.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Vtg. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Vtg~enwikibooks that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:50, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
