Signification
Reviewing school materials.
Contexte culturel
Students often study in groups at 'study cafes' which are quiet and provide high-speed internet. This is a modern evolution of 'học bài'. The 'Học bài' time is sacred. During this time, parents usually keep the house quiet and may even turn off the TV to support the child. There is a tradition called 'Khai bút đầu xuân' where students 'học bài' or write their first words of the year to wish for academic success. In the past, children would 'học bài' by the light of oil lamps or even fireflies in jars, a story often told to inspire modern students.
The 'Xong' Rule
Always add 'xong' (finished) to say you're done: 'Học bài xong rồi!'
Don't say 'Học bài tập'
It's either 'Học bài' or 'Làm bài tập'. Combining them sounds redundant.
