Learn Vietnamese with TVO | Consonant Clusters

[@Tiengvietoi]

We used an external recorder to improve the sound quality in this video. Please let us know what you think. Thanks for watching guys. P.S. The video is not in proper HD quality unfortunately. I promise next one will be better in both image AND sound quality :)

[@frederikd8]

I love your videos,they are super educational, especially for a self learner like me!!!

[@phoenixgazette5947]

Please don't. No one who is serious about learning vietnamese cares how cute, how filtered, or how HD Lan is!

[@carlosromero7401]

Fabulous lesson and demonstration of the consonant clusters in Vietnamese. I appreciate the slow demonstrations of how to create the pronunciation involving placement of the tongue and use of the throat muscles. The examples of words were also very helpful for practice.

[@seoulmate1360]

I just started learning Vietnamese yesterday and I am really enjoying your video. I hope you’ll make more beginner videos. Thanks teacher!

[@not-so-smartaleck8987]

Starting at 1:00 having someone (in this case, Lan) pronounce the VN word shown at top, and at the same time showing the word's meaning in English at bottom, is a GREAT idea--this helps with both pronunciation AND vocabulary at the same time! Thumbs up!! :)

Awesome! Thank you so much! I have tried so hard to learn the vowels and alphabet but this video made it come together! Thank you for your time.

[@medchirpllc8536]

An interesting little hack I have learned in the video and on this website. 1. Go to 9:18 in the video (see in blue) 2. Reload the page. 3. If you have the "Tap to Unmute" feature on your device, you don't need to turn off the device audio using the volume buttons, you can just leave it muted without tapping the screen.

Hi Lan, this is a very useful video, thank you! Your channel is the best. My wife and I live in Turkey but we will move to Vietnam (Hanoi) in August. I watch your channel to get familiar with Vietnamese, but I want to start learning more in your Language Center after moving to Hanoi. I am looking forward to meeting you!

[@Tiengvietoi]

Hi Alper thanks for watching our videos :) Please get in touch when you're in Hanoi and we'd be happy to arrange lessons for you. We look forward to hearing from you too :)

English has the 'nh' sound. Think of words like onion, minion, opinion, companion and canyon. If only the 'ng' sound at the start of words was so easy to master. . . .

[@fabianpe0199]

But the ng is just like the sound in "sing" so not too bad

[@dyld921]

They're similar but not the same sound. In English it's a cluster of two sounds 'n' + 'y'. In Vietnamese it is just one sound.

At 0:27 her pronunciations of "Ch" and "Tr" (in Southern dialect) sound exactly the same to me, even though she says they're different...and/or, they sound exactly like the Northern dialect versions at 0:42. (All I hear is "chuh", "chuh", etc)

[@kanamasai5194]

to Tom Mullen >> I bumped up the volume to hear it clearly ; then I put on my head phones to get an even better ear. I heard exactly like you said. All 4 pronunciations were exactly the same. I know from what Lan explained; the Northern accent will have both "Ch" and "Tr" sounding the same. However I could not hear the difference in the Southern accent for "Ch" and "Tr".

[@alistonnguyen4182]

I'm a southern Vn-ese. That "tr" and "ch" in southern accent she spoke were wrong.

[@alcyonecrucis]

A very rich video !!

[@azzurracasucci9313]

Very useful video! Love it 😊😍

[@EmmaShadyLilly]

Hi, could you please explain the difference between ch and tr in southern accent. even in southern accent it sounds the same to me. Thanks.

[@skrillexxx2673]

it takes a lot of effort even for a native speaker to pronounce the /tr/ sound correctly. so to put it simply, just stick to the English /tr/(as in "trout") if you're a learner. I think most people just say it like that; no one bothers to make the correct pronunciation anymore.

[@jayajadhav8221]

Just add the little h in it

[@onguyen2437]

It's not too hard as you thought. For "ch" it sounds like "cheese, choose, cheat" etc. For "tr" it sounds like "tree, trend, Trump" etc. Let's give them a try.

[@Zdrange03]

Ch is a "ty" sound (tongue is flat) , while tr is an English regular "ch" sound (tongue is curled up).

[@SpeakTagalogWithJC]

@@Zdrange03 this is really helpful

[@fabianpe0199]

Is the t pronounced like đ with your tongue touching the top of your mouth? Also, if so, does that mean you do the same thing with "th" but make it explosive?

[@4rifr0mthe3nd]

[@priciliasimarmata1756]

Is the offer still open? I want to learn Vietnamese.

[@VietnamCulturalExchange]

At 8:05 you're right with telling that ‘I’ isn't a diphthong, but the correct name of the ‘I’ is 'glide' or 'semivowel' it is a kind of sound that has no marks but it helps to glide from the 'Q' to the 'a'. The sad thing is that they almost never tell about the glides while any introduction course should start to explain what the glide is because there are more than 20 different glides and they have no marking. So foreigners think they are vowels or, as often said diphthongs, but they aren't. For the pronunciation this is very important. The most famous ‘glide’ is the ‘o’ in Hoàn Kiếm Lake (Hồ Hoàn Kiếm). One should pronounce the ‘o’ a bit as a ‘w’. It is not a diphthong because one has to pronounce the ‘à’ as an ‘à’. Why the glides have no marks has an historical reason, it is explained on the YT channel of vietnamculturalexchange.org

[@dmanakell]

Lan, do you speak Spanish as well? I'm a Spanish speaker and met very few Vietnamese interested in Spanish in Hanoi. Finally I learned how the word Ngu is spelled. My girlfriend sometimes would call me "Tay ngu". I would reply "Toi la Tay Ngon"

[@columbus8myhw]

Not all English speakers pronounce "quarter" like that! Maybe it's laziness, but a lot of people leave out the 'w' and say it like "corter"

[@discoverbeyond-57]

muchas gracias por este video

[@steveshea7725]

In English we actually end the sound "ng" by bringing the base of the tongue back against the back of the throat, not by moving the jaw as you describe. Interesting.

Just thought of something rewatching this video. The difference between g and gh in Vietnamese remind me a bit of the difference between ge & gi and gh in Italian family names. Ge & Gi are pronounced as a soft j, while gh a hard g, example Gennaro, diGioia, Ghezzi. Weren't Italian missionaries once present in Vietnam, and might they also have influenced the language?

[@Tiengvietoi]

Cảm ơn cô for sharing! That's very interesting. As in the records, among the missionaries coming to Vietnam in the 17th century there were Italian priests. However, their names were not mentioned as the main contributors of creating the writing system of the Vietnamese language. They might have worked or helped behind the scence, right? :)

Were Portuguese missionary present in Vietnam at one time? Portuguese language has the same nh sound, like aranha (spider) and a waterfowl called anhinga. As usual this was helpful. Tam biet va hen gap lai.

[@Tiengvietoi]

Oh! Interesting question! Actually the Portuguese missionary were the ones who created the Vietnamese alphabet. They listened and transcribed the sounds using Latin letters. Until their arrival in Vietnam in the 17th century, we still used Chinese ideogram as writing system.

[@akinohibi]

Do you have a video for pronunciations for ending consonants ?

[@ThienNguyen-gb7tm]

we dont pronouce ending consonant, the ending consonants merged with vowels to create only 1 sound. this fusion called "vầng"

[@not-so-smartaleck8987]

I'm just a novice, but I KNOW I've heard ending consonants pronounced (or enunciated) sometimes, in various YT vids about learning V-nese; my impression is that when the preceding vowel has the dot tone (underneath), that causes the ending consonant to not be enunciated/pronounced...there are probably other examples of when it's not enunciated/pronounced (due to vần/vầng, I guess?).

[@not-so-smartaleck8987]

At 3:11, "brew for the sound in your throat"...what am I, a coffeepot? :) I know V-nese pronounciation is difficult sometimes, but...when I try to pronounce certain V-nese words right, I start gagging!

[@josemendes2530]

is it possible write the sound of some vn words?

[@Meoducdethuong]

ở miền nam cũng nói tr như tờ rờ chứ ko hẳn lẩn lộn đâu

[@Jumpoable]

'ng' at the end of an 'o' is more like an [m] sound. & then 'n' after words like "ban" sound like a [t] to me, & 'c' / 'k' at the end of some words sound like a [p] to me. Please explain those sound changes (that NO Vietnamese can ever explain to me, nor are they conscious of their own pronunciation!!!!!!!)

[@nikcollettekristin]

I really enjoyed your video :) Thank you for all your hard work! I want to work on learning the alphabet and my pronunciation. What is the best way? Flashcards?

[@Tiengvietoi]

+NIkcollette Kristin Thanks for watching Kristin. If you find this useful please subscribe for more videos :) For me personally flashcards is a great way to learn vocab but not pronunciation. If you want to improve your pronunciation you should get a teacher or ask for help from a Vietnamese friend. Since Vietnamese is a tonal language with 6 different tones it is very important to have a local person to listen and correct you. If it's not possible for you at the moment, I think starting with watching videos like this or listening to Vietnamese songs or movies can be a good start too. That's how I learnt English anyway :)

[@therealthaibinh]

I found StudyBlue.com to be useful in creating flashcards that can also contain audio clips. It's actually easier to create and record sound snippets through the phone app. Great videos, by the way! Thanks!

[@xDAZZE]

So, why even have three different Z sound? Why not combine D, R, and GI…

[@MrYamego]

Because this video is just from the northern dialect, the southern people pronounce them right with 3 kinds D /z/, R /r/, gi /j/. I am from Hanoi myself but Hanoi and northern people are too lazy to pronounce them even they can do it.

[@LLNTMY]

Northern is more lazy than the other accents. My parents are from the middle (Da Nang) of Vietnam and there’s a lot of Southern Vietnamese people in our area in the US. So in our home, D is pronounced like the “Y” in “Yeah”, “Yoyo”, “Yams”. Đ is the normal English D, like “Dancing”, “Daniel”, “Deal”. R is the normal English R, like “Rat”, “Red”, “Roam”. Gi is prounced the same as D which is just a “Y” sound.

[@luljopjop4578]

R is different, just accent like r in English. D and Gi is same, reading like "z". Sometime I even write wrong between them, can't do anything except learning vocabulary

[@bryan8043]

I can't hear the difference between ch and tr TT

[@yuukoani6102]

In nothern, ch & tr sound no difference . In southern, you can pronouce "tr" by trilling "ch" a bit.
