Good news if you plan on learning Vietnamese

Vietnam National University, Hanoi has been tasked to create an online Vietnamese language education site for members of the diaspora. According to the university’s website, the programme will feature six levels and some lessons will be launched this month.

I'm honestly surprised and only realizing now that large powerful countries like the US, China, and Russia don't provide free courses to learn their respective languages. I think that would help push their popularity a lot more. Though I don't think English is necessary because it's basically expected that you learn it as a child regardless of country.

    China does/did do that. They're called Confucius Institutes and they were opening up in a lot of places for a while. Then the :freeze-peach: loving West (who protects the right of Nazis to use slurs and fly Swastikas) started closing them down because of paranoia over "foreign interference".
