The driver said THANK YOU. And that was enough. A gesture of kindness. He knew I spoke Vietnamese and he could have said Cam On, thank you. But he chose to say 'thank you' in English to be friendly.

This is another opinion question. Any answer can be correct.
I think the drive can speak English. He said 'thank you', he used it in the correct situation. And he used it to be kind to me.

I knew from the beginning he did not want to deal with a foreinger and did not want to have to speak English. In the end he decided to speak English anyway. I thought it was really sweet and he made me feel welcome and good. That's English.

This is another opinion question. Every answer can be correct if it describes how you feel.

I think you can speak English. Even a little is enough. Enough to show you care.
I think you can learn more English too. If you want to, I am here to help you.
Maybe over coffee and BanhTieu.
