I know I'm improving. It is a very slow process, but I can identify more words with each passing day. My pronunciation, on the other hand, is a different story.
The other day, I pulled into the gas station and asked for 80,000 dong. She stopped filling up at 50,000. Tám and năm do sound similar. So I said, no, tám mươi. But I missed the mark again because she filled me up to 100,000.
The frustration runs deep. Good times.
