Chinese English Architecture Vocabulary

Studying myself Chinese for more than six years, I have knowlegde of Chinese vocabulary and grammar but maybe I'm not good enough at speaking and listening. In my point of view, it's easy for me to learn because I think the Chinese and Vietnamese grammars are the same in general. Moreover, I have some of the experiences in writing chinese characters when I were a young boy. Actually, I have some friends who think Chinese is very difficult language to study, and they have no change to find a job. So, they have a tendency to study English or Japanese. In fact, English is the second language at Vietnam. Almost Vietnamese people have to study English for their career. The others have to study Japanese well to find a good job to work at Vietnam or to live in Japanese.

I think the Chinese is not popular language in Architecture at Vietnam. I can't find the glossary of architecture term at the Vietnamese websites. So, this is just a short list of Chinese – English Architecture vocabulary that I have studied before. It’s time for me to share to all of you.
