It will not be easy. Is your husband also VN? Does he speak decent English? Have you enrolled into an English class here? (if you are not working, you can do an intensive course. Can you find a job?
Anecdotal evidence says in better times it's possible but not easy even then. Before I retired I hired a Vietnamese girl who was newly married to a VN man who was a PR here and spoke reasonably good English. Her English was barely manageable but I was used to the accent and broken English due to my background (VN War and UNHCR during the Boat Migration Era during the 80~90's). So, I gave her a chance. She had to speak English in the office (but usually only to me as I was her boss) and it was tough on her. My advice to her and her husband was for him to forego speaking Vietnamese at home and not to answer her without trying to make her learn English from him. I also helped her a lot I suppose but mostly work related English and a lot of patience. She stayed with me for the last 5 years of my employment till I retired. She spoke reasonably decent English by the time I retired.
To be absolutely honest, you need to work on your English (unless you speak fluent Mandarin).
