why is english difficult for student in countries with non native speaker ?
Do you know in some countries where english is not mother land language, english subjects like a "ghost". Most students have no brief to use english when comunicating with their relative
or friends. They don’t have self confidence to speak English. Poor things !!!...
Do you have any opinion or argument why it’s happened ? Of course, I’ll be glad to receive and read your comment. Thanks !

I don't know exactly when was the VN government included English subjects in their curriculum but same thing as you said it's just like a ghost subject. That's why most VietNamese find hard and very shy to speak because they really don't have the idea how to start to speak in English. Maybe because, as I knew some information from my students in Ho Chi Minh City during their informative years of education English is not being taught in school that's why they lack confidence in speaking English.
But recently, there are a lot of Language Centers here in VietNam and I've met a lot of Vietnamese who wants to learn English language even on Private Class.
Lastly, Being a Filipina and English as my Second Language, we didn't find hard to speak English because in Philippines, English is being taught since Elementary in all subjects and we have just one subject in our language that is Filipino.
I hope I'm able to answer your question. ANd I think, you can also share yours history about English Language in your country.
