Register for one month's free membership of netflix and watch "Scent of Greeh Papay, a beautiful Cinderella type story of a little girl from the countryside who grows up as a maid in a middle class, Saigon household. You will be able to follow most of the story even not knowing the language. At the end of the story her husband is teaching her how to speak "properly" in posh, upper class Saigonese accent.

Netflix have several other Vietnamese films, too.

thanks! It's funny, I've just watched Scent of the green papaya a few times.
It is indeed a beautiful story and not too difficult to follow!
Love the movies of 陈英雄, and probably will watch Cyclo another time.

For software I've subscribed to L lingo....

And today the tutor will come another time to have class...

Other films to watch include: White Silk Ao Dai - Ao Lua Ha Dong; Four Seasons - Bon Mua; Vertical Ray of the Sun.
I found Xyclo so violent that I had to stop watching and then watch the remainder later.
