I really like this teacher

[@TheDerrickscott]

I agree that it takes about a year to get to B1/2, I’ve been living here for nearly 2 years but didn’t bother learning until a year ago. I did tons of self study and about 60 hours of classes. Now I feel like I can have pretty normal conversations about lots of things with people. I still kinda talk like a little kid and I don’t understand everything but it’s waaaay more than 1 year ago.

[@bobolaapi7034]

can you tell me where did you learn vietnamese?

[@ryutatsuhara313]

Your video's are fantastic at teaching Vietnamese, keep it up, it's been really helpful :)

[@LearnVietnameseWithSVFF]

Cảm ơn anh

[@MrDieuquang]

Người nước ngoài học tiếng Việt từ người bản ngữ ở miền Nam thì có thể có một số từ gây nhầm lẫn, ví dụ: Miền bắc nói "ăn" (đúng về đánh vần), nhưng miền Nam phát âm nghe là "ăng". Người nước ngoài sẽ dễ bị nhầm lẫn nếu học TV miền Bắc hoặc MN thì sẽ khó khi nghe miền kia phát âm

[@freakthebest2325]

Thanks bro for the guidance

[@LearnVietnameseWithSVFF]

Dạ không có gì đâu

cảm ơn chị

[@lyhoang4154]

Lol thanks after watching this i went to sleep and in the next morning i was fluently in Vietnamese , but after thinking a moment i just realized that I'm Vietnamese lol

[@jasperpham8584]

I’m not sure what my level is because I am Vietnamese in America and I learned from a young age with my mom. So I my pronunciation is good and I know a great amount of vocab to understand and listen however I need to work on my sentence structure and just making sentences like a native.

[@LearnVietnameseWithSVFF]

you must be A2 or B1, you can have a trial with SVFF to find out and start your lesson at the right level svff.vietnameseinpractice.com/trial

[@revolutionartiste]

Hi! Wich link is the full pronunciation ? Also where can I find the text books you had ? Also as a recommendation a full flow chart of the progression would have been interesting :)

I have learning disabilities and fell for a Vietnamese women and I think she gave me 6 months to learn it to prove my self to her. I got my work cut out for me. Please wish me luck.

[@LearnVietnameseWithSVFF]

Good luck

[@ericjohnson6634]

I hope she's proven herself to you as well!

[@Heenfio]

I do too

[@baoduong2203]

I’m wondering where I would place myself. I can speak Vietnamese with my family and friends in everyday conversations, daily interactions, but I don’t know the higher vocabulary words in Vietnamese church, where I can somewhat understand the message. I can understand Vietnamese but some words I wouldn’t know so I just ask what that word means. I don’t know how to read the Vietnamese with the tones with the letters, or the alphabet, it just confuses me to see the “dau” like dau sach, huyen, hoi. But I can text everyday vietnamese sentences without the tones. So my pronunciation with the reading of the words with the dau will just confuse me

[@Lena-ho4hm]

That's the exact same boat I am in, right now I can't really make much progress because I know quite a lot already.

[@larrylenard4284]

Hello. do you know if there are Vietnamese audio books with the southern dialect? thank you

[@LearnVietnameseWithSVFF]

contact us for more info [e-mail]

[@logankirk6184]

Seems a bit doubtful that it only would take less than 100 hours for A1 and A2 and then 40 hours for B1 +B2 =140 hours total

[@oakstrong1]

I just started learning Vietnamese with Duo Lingo. (I don't know if it is Northern or Southern dialect.) Although it has speaking exercises, I I think the software is accepting a very loose approximation to avoid learner frustration: I fear it is counteractive in the long run. What do you think? Hi! I'm not in Vietnam and don't have access to a Vietnamese teacher.

[@sadeyescreations1702]

I'm sooooo in the same boat as you.

[@LC-hd5dc]

it's only going to teach you vocab. it's not listening* or speaking practice. many of the pronunciations are not correct, and they have a very narrow range of acceptable answers when translating. it's just flash cards but fancier, so it's not a viable way to learn a language on its own. they teach northern dialect btw. but anyway you are better off at least getting a teacher online if you want to learn, or you have to force yourself to talk and listen in the language if you can't get a teacher *the "listening" is a software voice, not how actual people talk

[@ruedigernassauer]

I tried Duolingo, too. 1. The pronunciation is exclusively Northern leveling out any difference between d, r or gi or between tr and ch or between s or x. But they have entered some Southern vocabulary as the word for spoon to give it an "overall approach". 2. You cannot enter Vietnamese letters directly. I made a bypass copying from MS Word. 3. Duolingo is too tolerant to wrong letters. You can succeed even when fully ignoring the intonation. 4. You learn composed words but not how they are composed as most syllables have their own meanings. 5. Duolingo tries to teach you Vietnamese as if it was English, with English proverbs ("See you later alligator" and LGBT stuff like "He cooks for his husband.") and the assumption of fixed pronouns for people (I, you, he / she / it, we, they) which Vietnamese doesn´t have to that extent. They fail to explain the differentiation between the exclusive (e.g. chúng ta) and the inclusive "we" (eg. chúng tôi). 6. Duolingo does hot give any hints about grammar or whatever, just words and sentences. 7. There are faults, as the word for color is in Duolingo pronounced like "mầu" but written like "màu". Indeed Vietnamese has two words for color, "mầu" and "màu" and they are pronounced as they are written. Then they write consistently "nhưng" (but), even if "những" (plural indicator) is meant. As I went almost half through there were more faults. 8. When having finished Duolingo you just will have learned 2,000 words of a language with about 40.000 words. Duolingo causes time loss. --- I read Vietnamese leaflets with fairy tales now and enter new words into Anki. I exercise Anki every day to memorize the strange vocabulary.

[@rosielam3278]

Có TV show tiếng Việt. Cho người bắt đầu không ạ?

[@LearnVietnameseWithSVFF]

Hi Rosie, there are many TV shows available in Vietnamese, depending on what you're interested in. For beginners, I would recommend watching children's shows or dramas with simple dialogue. As for how long it takes to learn Vietnamese, it varies from person to person depending on your language learning background and how much time you dedicate to studying and practicing. With consistent effort, most people can become conversational in a few months to a year. Good luck with your studies!
