This is the best explanation of Vietnamese vowels I've heard so far. I'm very picky about how I sound when I start learning a language and always noticed that Vietnamese pronunciation was off from how it was written in IPA. I kept hearing vowels with Vꟸ and I thought it maybe had to do with tones but hearing your explanation helped that it's dependent on vowels. Specifically when you mentioned that vowels change without moving tongue or lips and just change by height in the mouth. There really isn't a term for this in linguistics that I know of and so I don't really have something to compare it to. It makes a lot of sense now that I understand the mechanics of what's happening in the mouth.

[@SomeGuy-xf9bc]

Vietnamese vowels are extremely difficult for westerners to hear. This is especially true when you add the tones to the mix. I think lots of repetition is the only solution.

[@grinding_life_7]

I've been learning for a year quite extensively and the A's and O's still get me

[@BlatantSockPuppet]

I think the reason why English speakers have trouble with Vietnamese vowels is because vowels change as we move from region to region but consonants pretty much remain the same. One exception is that in some places, the final R sound of a word will be silent, eg. father/fathah.

[@SomeGuy-xf9bc]

@@BlatantSockPuppet True, but also we don't hear the tones at all. It takes a lot of work to even start to hear them.

[@BlatantSockPuppet]

@@SomeGuy-xf9bc Ah, the tones are a whole different world of difficulty! Learn from my mistake… whatever you do, before you master tones do not attempt to ask a question with the word “đi” as the last word.

[@pepperwilliams4428]

I think that the most difficult vowels should be a video unto its own.

[@sameldin2022]

I was looking for vietamese lessons and just found your channel.. let's see how it will go 😊👍

[@LadyLamb-oq5lj]

This video is actually a godsend since I can actually see the shape your mouth makes and its slow paced. Tysm!!❤

[@某人-b3o]

Like this video because doesn't rush into complicated phrases en just focus in the pronunciation so it makes it more direct and helpful and easy to understand

[@niathenurse]

I had no idea there was 3 different ways to say vowels in Vietnamese I have to practice alot these now

[@fala-fello968]

Thank you for this video! I'm glad you don't rush it and give each letter enough of space so the listener can try and pronounce it it more than once. As a Central European, I have a really hard time with pronouncing them, especially ư and ơ. It feels like my throat is not capable of producing such sounds.

[@OfficialSearchEngine]

Thank you so much. I have created a playlist for your channel. I so desperately want to lean this language. I for now, cannot say one word. Hopefully with the help of your videos I will begin to get the hang of saying the words correctly.

[@talhanaumansiddique8819]

Can you share your playlist pls, i also wish to bit iam quite confused where to and which channel to learn from.

[@keblurr]

its been 2 years how far have u come

[@Clklom]

Hello Linh, love your lesson and I am seriously learning Vietnamese language. I work with Vietnamese companies and people too.

[@trien30]

Xin chào cô Linh. Xe is a "vehicle" not vehical. What font did you use? It is very good because with this font, the hook on ơ & ư are very clear, not like other fonts which bunches the letter with the hook making it hard to read. Cám ơn.

[@YourFrienjamin]

[@josemorua4578]

I’m berly starting to learn I have seen videos before but I can see now that learning vowels is really important it was @ little confusing but halfway down the video I started to understand.good video I will subscribe to you your Chanel to learn more thanks .

[@rubiks6]

What is the difference between "A" and "Ă" besides the tone you are using?

[@linyonglan]

Three problems: A and ă sound the same to me, except the latter has an intonation, but then how does that combine with the six tones? Â and ơ sound the same to me. E and ê sound really similar. Any hope for me? Thank you : )

[@linyonglan]

It's really the first two pairs that are more difficult for me. The two Es aren't as difficult. Thank you!

[@dyld921]

Ă and  are short versions of A and Ơ, respectively. The short vowels only exist in words that end with a consonant or glide, like ăn / ân or ay / ây. They have no inherent tone, but when Vietnamese people say the alphabet, we pronounce them like Á and Ớ

[@randomspartanhoe4501]

Ă sounds shorter than A.

[@leolau5026]

@@dyld921 Cảm ơn! Many thanks to you.

[@sci_curiosities]

â and ơ is technically the same as a and ă, with â has an up intonation and ơ does not.

[@cyklonbeatz]

Thanks. You make it seem so easy

[@oswa2winzyvvy]

Very useful video thanku dr

[@khengmeakara5613]

It is really clear pronunciation. I like it.

[@elkoestlich]

I find it very hard to hear the difference between letter  and Ơ in the normal language. (Cơm/Câm)

[@fnrjekkdbrnrj9972]

The word "Cơm" is pronunced more comfortable and a bit longer while the word "Câm" you need to be faster and more decisive in your pronunciation. Hope you will get it!

[@yenbleworkfromhome]

😊hello

[@santiagokim7016]

I'm learning french and Korean and some vowel sounds remind me the french, Chinese and Korean pronunciation of some of them. For example eu in french could be the third vietnamese o... Right and the second u sound could be like Korean 으 and the first o maybe like Korean 어. Also the last "a" sound is like the "e" sound in Chinese: Chē(?) What a beautiful language 💜 love Vietnam from Colombia 🇨🇴

[@dark_an3251]

RIP Lajos. This is so difficult. we have some same letter pronounce, but it is more deeper than our. But I want to learn it, because it is a beautiful language. I think Mandarin is easier than Vietnamese.

[@marcocisneros8643]

I wanna learn vietnamese I've never tried to speak a language like this one is has 6 tones in my native language you don't use tone to tell words apart but yeah we use pitch to express anger, hapiness etc everyone does, I need to step out of my comfort zone

[@semjasesemjase2826]

you can learn european languages without having to go to the country where they are spoken, but when it comes to learning asian languages, most probably you will have to live among native people in order to learn them...this stems from the fact that asian languages are tonal...

[@pault7135]

I think it would be a bit easier to understand the vowel sounds if examples are given with words that do not include accent marks. It makes it much easier to recognize the sounds bc the addition of the accent marks in certain examples throws off the ear and unnecessarily throws in another factor to consider. Isolating the sound for an introductory video would be more helpful....at least for this learner. Thanks for the video.

[@cs631oflu]

Do nang tones make words pronounced very short?

[@hoanghainguyen2412]

Yes

[@xuano9065]

Yep sometimes it does. But not really!

[@davidgarcia4657]

tru with dot under u, it sounds to me like CH. Am I hearing right?

[@klieu90210]

In northern dialect, TR and CH (at the beginning of a word) are pronounced the same.

[@larrylenard4284]

This will be a funny comment: Do you play violin, guitar, or piano? Your fingers are amazing. In my previous vowel lessons, we did not scoop the Ă or raise the Â, but considered them in the context as short versions of either A or Ơ. Cảm ơn.

[@JeffreySuierveld]

Is this southern or northern dialect?

[@klieu90210]

northern. although the main difference arises in certain tones and choice of vocab.

[@chenjames3426]

One heads up:The words of Vehical in the lesson is wrong, it should be Vehicle match with Xe.

[@darrenstrove]

I find no point in learning the pronunciation because the pronunciation rules don't apply from letter to letter. The same markings from one letter to another doesnt apply the same rules. I think this is more like mandarin where you simply memorise the pronunciation of words. Clear example would be this two letters ê ô . So i think just go straight for learning words and sentences. Skip the learning letters because it kinda doesnt work. In korean after learning the alphabets you can pronounce most words but in Vietnamese you can't.
