English is seen as a 'bridge to the world.' Many young people mix English words into their Vietnamese (code-switching) to sound modern. The IELTS exam is a massive cultural phenomenon. Students often define their 'nói tiếng Anh' ability by their IELTS Speaking score. Street vendors and tailors in tourist areas often speak 'Tiếng Anh bồi'—a simplified, practical version of English focused on sales.
