Spending time, effort and money to learn English but still being unable to communicate well with foreigners;  being good at grammar, having a good vocabulary, listening well but still having non-standard pronunciation, … are the "common diseases" of English learners. The good news is that the development of technology is an effective aid for young people who are trying to learn English.

Vietnamese people's problems

According to the EPI (English Proficiency Index), a study conducted by the Education First (EE), Vietnam is ranked at a low level, ranking 33th compared to other countries in the world and ranking 9th out of 14 countries studied in Asia (PV). Many common reasons have been pointed out like the lack of confidence, the unability to recognize English sounds or poor reflexes. They make English learning become difficult and ineffective.

Anyone who regularly watches social networks will know the video "When Americans Listen to Vietnamese Speaking English" (author of English teacher Dan Hauer). The purpose of video is to point out mistakes in the pronunciation of Vietnamese English teachers. Mr. Hauer took the conversations of Vietnamese for his parents - native Americans – to listen to. As a result, his parents did not understand the majority of the English sentences that Vietnamese teachers said, because they had basic mistakes such as wrong accent, late sound, wrong pronunciation, swallow sound …

"The main drawback of current English-language learning applications and services is that there is relatively little interaction with local teachers," said Alan Schwart, CEO of EnglishCentral. This limits the learner's ability to speak and gradually discourages learners. "

When technology comes into play

One of the beloved "rookie" online training service at English-American standard is VNPT MyEnglish (product of VNPT Group). With its powerful voice recognition technology, there are many video clips, sounds, and especially one-to-one interaction with native teachers ... to help students quickly improve  listening skills, which are still considered weak.
