Ok, this is going to sound really ignorant, but here goes.

The young lady that does my nails is named Tu. This little lady speaks so softly that when I asked her how to pronounce
her name I could not hear her, will someone please help me out with this?

If she is Vietnamese, it is "tChoo" with kind of a hard t sound to the front of the word.

Unless it's another dialect. You could probably just ask her to repeat it louder! They understand the language problem - they are dealing with it themselves.

Hi Janie,
Yes she is Vietnamese. I thought it sounded like "shew" and I just hated to ask her again, she is so quiet, very polite and does an outstanding job. I didn't want to make her uncomfortable.

Thank you very much, I really do appreciate it.

Vicki
