Warning to people living in southern migrant Vietnamese communities in the U.S: Do not address them with "Đồng Chí" or risk getting beaten up hahah
oh chú nói tiếng việt chuẩn ghê
great man! good job, Mark
definitely taking the xin chao path mate !
Maybe because I speak with Northern accent, but you pronounce some words really off, like bô, phở, chị, xạo. I know Southerner don't use dấu nặng and don't pronounce dấu hỏi that clear, but since you said you went more for a Northern dialect in this vid I couldn't help to be bothered. We also say trời ơi sometimes 🙂 But your Viet is really good, you're probably the best foreigner I've heard so far and I understood 95%. But you sound more Southern than Northern haha.
For more accuracy, this is mostly the North language (Northese). The term
"Vietnam, Vietnamese" are one of the biggest lie in modern human history. Before the "Vietnam" term era, the North people (Great Viet, Tonkinese) and the South people (Annam and Cochinchine) are different on history, language, some aspects of culture. But on the "Vietnam" era, they both are being called "Vietnamese".
You are foreigner with good Vietnamese skill, How long time do you live in Viet Nam ?
Y're a great guy, Mark. I enjoy your 'informal' teaching but it's really cool and funny and easy to absorb. I am learning Vietnamese with ASSIMIL, a method from France that is called 'la méthode intuitive.' I have learnt quite a few languages with it, including Chinese and Japanese. I am looking forward to my trip to HCMC and my Vietnamese lessons. The pronunciation is really hard in the beginning … thanks so much for your course!
Your are good of Vietnam language.
