Well, if you'rek Vietnamese, you've learned to control the tone of your voice your whole life, so I guess it's not so hard then...and there's context, too. I mean, you can usually tell someone's saying their grandma died, not their tomato plant or something, if they're crying. That's a toughie, though.
I wouldn't really want to speak any language but English if I was in a situation where I was crying. But, well, I guess I could if I had to in Japanese... =_=
