  • My notes for each lecture follow below.
  • Observation about Wikipedia articles for people who don't read Vietnamese. Many of the English Wikipedia articles on Vietnamese topics are relatively short (for example, that for the poet Nguyễn Bỉnh Khiêm). In the left margin of the Wikipedia page is a list of other language Wikipedias that have a corresponding article in that language. The one in Vietnamese, labeled "Tiếng Việt", will often be significantly longer, more detailed, than the English language article. Google Chrome browser will translate these Vietnamese articles into adequate English (or perhaps into some other language you prefer).
