What's your problem?

Do I have to pay for my drink at Solo?

Yes, because I just free for you first time a day.

I only wanted to go to Solo if it can be free more than one time a day

You said one meal a day

but you did not say anything about the drinks until now

you skipped those exact details earlier

you may have assumed that i understood it all

you should have given me a reminder as i was going back to Solo tonight

What?

You forgot to tell me about that

until now

What do you want now?

I know now

I am trying to teach you about communication skills

You forgot to tell me that I can only have one drink per day.

It was kind of confusing when I heard the details from you before.

My salary for you is not enought?

That is not what I am saying.

I am trying to teach you about how to talk in English.

I am saying that I misunderstood what you were telling me.

I am saying that I did not understand what your original offer was until now. The conditions on the contract was not exactly clear.

Do you ask too much?

Today, I repair your bike and eat lunch, dinner free.

So, is this not enought for today?

Now what do you want for me?

no

you are misunderstanding me

that is not what I am saying

I thought you understood the English language

that is not what I am talking about

I am talking about the word "COMMUNICATION."

I am talking about language.

I am not talking about those other things.

You are misreading me.

Don't ask a lot from me.

I did not.

I am not asking.

If you think i not good you can finish it

These are not questions.

That is not what I said.

That is not what I am saying.

I am not mad.

I am not asking anything.

I am telling you things.

Informing.

Not questions.

Information.

Data

I am not upset.

You are fine.

You are a good friend.

I am trying to help.

I'm not discontent.

I'm going to let you off the hook this time, but don't ever do that again, and now i will pay for you.

Can you read English?

14 minutes ago

Yesterday morning, you didn't teach me anything.

You didn't ask.

I don't pay for you free

You were mad at me.

You left.

I never said no to you. I never said that I was not going to teach you.

You assumed things.

You judged me.

You attested situation wrongly/

It is a misunderstanding.

You told me that you do not mind if other people join in with us.

I invited other people because you told me that was fine.

I was waiting for you to tell me what to do because that is what you did in the past.

Now, I no need you.

Don't post on my facebook.

Delete it

Delete your post on my face, now

You are overreacting.

you might be having a mental break-down

Delete your post on my facebook, now

you are acting bossy

you need to listen

Now, not pay, not free coffee and lunch

do not respect teachers like this

I don't need you

You teach me nothing

8:45am

If only I had a quarter for every time I hear things like this from Vietnamese people.

For the past year in Vietnam, at times, I run into Vietnamese people who tend to cheat me and to have temper-tantrums in my face when things don't go there way.

It is very sad that things kind of happen from time to time.

I sit here as a humanitarian, and I suffer and endure such abuse in my life for the sake of making the world a better place.
