i have recieved the message, but how to sent to [sally]???

I believe the actual message with diacritics would be;

Em sẽ nhắn lại nhưng lôi nấy với Sally

I assume you are talking to the this Girl A, asking where she is or wanting to meet her.

Rough translation: "I will message back but[*] now bringing Sally out"
Literal translation of[*]: bring now with Sally.

You can reply something like,
"được, toi hy vọng có thể gặp em sớm"
"Ok, hope to able to meet you soon"

[jackbl]

Hmm haha ok. Yup I also think so. They speak so fast that most of the time we cant catch them. Even if they speak at a tortoise pace, I might not even be able to understand. My proficiency of Tieng Viet is almost non-existent.

Oh. Initially I was afraid that I would offend him as he might assume that I was "acting clever". Your thread is very useful. Trying to learn Tieng Viet now but find it to be even harder then learning chinese.

Happy CNY in advance to all.

Anh Trai Thom07,

The only way we can attain the level of efficiency of their speech is to be put into a situation where you are forced to use the language daily.

That's how I (and you too i suppose) learned my vietnamese SMS skill so quickly... started from simple greetings to asking about things to more complex sentences.
My BX also knows this and keeps her SMS'es easy to understand but introduces a new word or two each time in her SMS so i slowly increase my vocab.

Having a personal tutor helps alot

I think this is a very very good way of learning the language - using sms - althugh sometimes girls do use some short forms which make deciphering a bit more difficult..another drawback is we sometimes might have to read the whole sentence before we can make out the meaning of some words cos one word can have a few meanings and our handphones do not have the vietnamese symbols...
