    I'm surprised that viet is not fluent in the Vietnamese. I find interesting that a lot of literature scholars or intellectual writers are not multilingual

      He was brought here at age four so it's not super surprising to me. There's so much pressure for people to assimilate that they often don't absorb the mother tongue or are actively not taught to speak it. Some of my Viet friends don't speak it at all. 😅
