Quick English Vietnamese PhrasesAfter a year of launching the Quick English Vietnamese Phrases iphone app, I still don’t recoup the expense I put into it.

I got to learn how to use the MAC, Unix commands, Xcode, CoCoa, Object-C and other ‘fun’ stuff. It wasn’t easy but I think anyone can do it if you just put your mind to it.
