very often in match making, the agent will send the vietnamese gal to a chinese teacher to learn how to speak basic mandarin for a few months. This trend has been there for a decade or so as it first started with the need to marry to taiwan for the vietnamese gals.
I went around a few agencies some months ago and found out that most of their gals cannot speak much mandarin too. But i deem this as not much a worry. My wife spoke some basic mandarin when i first met her and now, a few years later, her mandarin has improved a lot and she can express herself quite well. Daily exposure to mandarin is beneficial to them. Its better for them to learn our language than we learn theirs. They want to survive in Singapore must know some mandarin too
