Learning Vietnamese - VLS

Gốc = root, origin/ knowledge foundation

Mất gốc = no connection to your origin/ having weak knowledge foundation

Vinh Trieu (Tom), from UC Berkeley, came to VLS to learn Vietnamese as one of our students in summer. We asked him to have a talk on VLS talk channel. And he did to share about his new perception of the concept “mất gốc” as a Vietnamese growing up in the US that he had just got during his summer stay in Vietnam. We hope you will find it interesting to know. And for those who are Việt Kiều like Vinh, we would love to hear more about your perception about your “gốc”.

 

Cám ơn Tom Vinh Triệu đã chia sẻ cảm nhận rất riêng của em về khái niệm “gốc” và “mất gốc”. Rất thú vị!
