English is considered a global language, so it is taught widespread all over
the world. The aim of the learners is to have good skills of communication in
English. In order to gain that aim, besides a good knowledge of grammar, learners
need to have a plentiful source of vocabulary. However, by mastering all the
English words somehow is always a question raised. Learners have many
difficulties is learning the vocabulary because of its formation and usages in
communication.
Practically, study on the similarities and differences between the English and
Vietnamese languages and the cultures they imply is one of my concerns when
studying English at University. It is clear that there are many differences between
the two languages of as those in grammar, lexicology, phonetic and a number of
other things, which leads to the differences in metaphorical meaning implied in
literature, idioms and proverbs expression.
