Hi, thank you for your suggestions, I have tried setting a time during a call and that has worked for me

You do not have to go over the same territory call after call. This is a good area to work on being more assertive.

Okay, I will begin voicing my opinion if he becomes to repetitive.

it takes a bit of the sting out for them when you thank them anyways (and obviously is polite as well).

Yeah, it is

What happens when you ask questions?

When I ask questions about things, he sometimes babbles on for too long and the conversation gets complicated.

What brings you to ask for him to speak in Vietnamese when there is a lack of words in Vietnamese to express what he is trying to get across?

I just feel like he is trying too hard to explain things in English sometimes as he really likes talking about his topics and I think that sometimes Vietnamese will just be easier for him, even if I might not understand, but he says it is easier for him, so I’ll just ask when needed.
Thanks for everything!
