the language barrier.
I'm able to get by in most latin and germanic based languages, but the asian varieties terrify me. it's a shame too because I love them (asians, that is).
I've lived around vietnamese people most of my life. orange county, california and oklahoma city have the highest populations of vietnamese in the US. despite that, I can only say "happy new year" (chung mung nam moi), and even with then, I'm parroting. I have no idea what chung, mung or moi mean (I think nam means "people").
