In the process of teaching and learning language in general and English in particular, most of Vietnamese learners lend to pay much more attention to learning forms of language, that is, grammatical, lexical and phonological components of the foreign language and ignore to acquire A cross cultural study politeness in indirect requests in vietnamese and american culture the expressions used ill relation to cultures.

As a result, the lies between Vietnam and America arc growing in many areas and at all A cross cultural study politeness in indirect requests in vietnamese and american culture levels.
