I've already been teaching Vietnamese for several years and had more then 2500 hours of one-on-one lessons with my students, so I've noticed a pattern of problems that they encounter on their Vietnamese learning journey. In this video I talk how to improve your speaking, reading, listening, writing skills and what to do with grammar in Vietnamese. Learn these tips and you will save a lot of your time and nerves :D

I've been in VN one year now, sad to say only learned a few words. I'm an engineer, with zero natural ability for languages. But somehow your style is so inspiring, I want to try!

[@SlowVietnamese]

I think the most important thing when you learn a language is inspiration/ motivation. As long as you have it, doesn't matter if the language is difficult or not, you're gonna achieve your goal : )

[@gregreed2713]

@@SlowVietnamese You're right Thuy! Unless I missed it, would you consider making a beginner's video on the basics of tones? How to speak them so people understand, how to read them? Thanks ☺️

[@SlowVietnamese]

@@gregreed2713 I have been thinking about making pronunciation videos, but there are many Vietnamese pronunciation videos already. So I think you can find them from TVO - Tieng Viet Oi youtube channel if you're learning northern, Vietnamese with Annie, SVFF if you're learning southern dialect : )

[@usgamewolf6979]

i hope you can find your inspiration. go through videos and articles and anything that has to do with vietnamese, and look for what makes you the most happy or the most interested. thats how i found my love for japanese and chinese as well. even if its just the way its written or the way it sounds or the way it differenciates to other languages. hope this makes sense :)

Getting people to slow down in Vietnam is indeed sometimes difficult! Younger people usually will, but older people will often just say it louder. :-) Sometimes they surprise you though. There was an old lady selling chè on my street and she was surprisingly aware of what confused me. For example she gave me a price the first time and it sounded like "bamlăm". I looked blankly and she said "hà, ba mươi lăm" and smiled. Lots of people would have said it louder, or just tried English. (Now, whether I should have paid ba mươi lăm for that chè or not is another issue...🤔)

[@SlowVietnamese]

haha good point!

[@ryankohl2913]

I am so happy I found your slow Vietnamese channel and videos (specifically the slow talking). Of the many things I struggle with in learning Vietnamese, listening/hearing is the biggest challenge. So many words sound similar, and if I hear the wrong tone in a word, it sends me in a completely different direction for the word.

[@FabianKreutzerSound]

Thanks for this video 🙏I am learning Vietnamese for quite a good time. It’s a slow process, but I am getting better, and most important: I will never give up!!! You have a new subscriber btw. 😉

[@therealsunnylife]

What a helpful video, I’m glad I found ur channel!😁👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@Antares2]

I heard you mentioned vietnamese being a tonal language. When I started learning chinese, I was a bit worried about the tones. Only after studying for a while did I realize that my native language, norwegian, is also a partly tonal language. There are plenty of words that are only differentiated in meaning from the tone (not to mention how tone can change a statement into a question and such). So, I am not that worried about tones as much anymore. I find the best way to learn is to simply immerse yourself in the language and get as much input as possible and the tones will come automatically over time. I have been considering learning vietnamese, as I really like how it sounds. It's a fascinating language for me.

Hi There, I would be interested in One on One Vietnamese Lessons How do I proceed?

[@folkartcrow8856]

Hello. I am learning the southern dialect pronunciation from Vietnamese with Annie. I was wondering if it would still be beneficial to watch Vietnamese videos that are in the northern dialect or should I only watch videos with the the southern dialect to avoid confusion?

[@SlowVietnamese]

if you're an absolute beginner, I suggest to stick with only southern dialect.

[@DatingDilemmaBreakdown]

I bet living in Vietnam must be hilarious. I already have weird mistakes in Indonesia where the language is much easier! I'm coming over in 1 month! Can't wait to have a few good laughs from embarrassment 😂

This video was helpful. Also, you are so funny and cute. I loved when you took your shoe off to use it as a weapon.🤣🤣.

[@SlowVietnamese]

thank you for the compliment. We often use slipper as weapon when playing :Đ

[@ethanb6467]

người nói tiếng anh khó học tiếng việt như thế nào? tôi phải làm gì nếu tôi gặp khó khăn trong việc học tiếng việt?

[@SlowVietnamese]

quan trọng nhất là phát âm, và từ vựng. Phát âm phải tốt, nếu phát âm không tốt thì bạn phải luyện tập đến khi nó đủ tốt. Vì nếu phát âm sai thì người Việt sẽ không hiểu, và mọi người sẽ confused. Tiếp theo là luyện tập nghe và từ vựng

[@andygalindo8978]

I want to learn

[@SlowVietnamese]

Go for it : )

[@SirDavis17]

Ah, the difference of a tone. How bad could that be? 😅 1:58 "Yêu thế " *Proceeds to get hugged❤* 2:10 "Yếu thế" *Gets murdered 🔪...* 😁

[@SlowVietnamese]

😅

[@visionarystyle_]

Can you learn vietnamese without learning how to read? Just want to learn how to speak/understand and hold conversation

[@SlowVietnamese]

you can, if you spend a lot of time practice listening

[@ChrisUong.English]

lol, did she beat him with a slipper?

[@FrankButtersworth]

My God, teacher is so beautiful 😳

tôi muốn học tiếng việt để có thể nói chuyện với bạn gái của mình và chiều cô ấy

[@ggd376]

Something is about funny

[@realgongster]

lol

[@rolandanderson1577]

I think there's to much emphasis on tone. It's not true. Most important is: 1) Circumstance or situation 2) Intention 3) Implied meaning "And last but not least" 4) Expression or tone. You ever try to explain something to someone and as a last resort say "You know what I mean?" Vietnamese language has a lot of homophones. Use them wisely.
