Learn Vietnamese with TVO | David Coley and his journey of learning Vietnamese

[@Neyez]

David is really impressive. I've been learning vietnamese for 2 years already and i am still not even close to his level.

[@HealingRedHeart]

Neyez, đừng bỏ cuộc. David stays in Vietnam. He has chances to speak this language every day. I assume you don't. Moreover, when you are appearing on video, you will go and find out how to say those words that you want to express but don't know yet. Don't compare yourself to others. Compare the "current you" with the "old you 2 years ago". Did you realize you have improved?

[@Neyez]

@@HealingRedHeart thank you for your support! It's been 3 years since my comment and I am still on the journey of learning vietnamese :D Now i believe I am better than David in this particular video but I still couldnt understand 100% of the video without checking the subtitles. So anyone who is struggling, vietnamese is really difficult language but dont give up!

[@seanconroy1143]

I learned SOOOOOOO much from taking notes on this video. Thanks to both of y'all : )

[@andres6868]

david is impressive for an eight month learner

[@Joonsung84]

do you think is it possible?? i think he's lier.

[@CharlotteoVietNam]

@@Joonsung84 Nah it's possible. I've been studying for 3 months now and I am freaking amazed by how much I understood of this vidéo. Learning a language is not that hard when you're having fun.

[@jarodnewman5535]

If you learn in an intelligent way and put enough effort in you can become very good very quickly.

[@chauky1811]

PAL KY it’s true you can learn eight months and you can learn vi

[@chinaiscoming1017]

@@Joonsung84 No,he is not,I have been learning for about 8 mouths and I can understand most of this video.

[@21rejones]

These videos are so great for listening comprehension. Thank you so much TVO!

Hello Rebecca Jones I am Vietnamese. I also want to learn English. If you want to learn Vietnamese. Please contact me. Let the two of us improve the language we want to learn. My skype: hoandangkt5

A huge like to David for speaking four languages, especially Russian. Indeed, the Russian grammar is considered quite complex and tricky, especially for native English speakers. I hear this all the time from my Vnmese friends )))

[@applefoodie]

Oh gosh, Russian is really difficult for me (native English speaker). Although Vietnamese has its difficulties, one super refreshing feature is the fact it has no gender and no conjugations!

[@bitt3rror_ed]

Next video, let him speak german and russian

[@JamesWBurns]

Feeling more motivated now. Well done to the man!

[@guitarislife01]

Video này rất có ích tại vì hai bạn chỉ sử dụng từ vựng dễ hiểu, và chị sửa lỗi sai của anh ấy. Đó cũng là những sai lầm của tôi. Làm ơn tải lên thêm video như cái này. Xin cảm ơn chị

[@nhunntv7264]

David so best man. Thank you for come with me and Tien when you visit in Ho Chi Minh city. hope you start up company as well.

[@ameeche7]

So cool! Thanks so much for your videos, I have loved learning Vietnamese through TVO! Inspiring interview! :D

[@stlev99]

That was a great idea, Lan. And I'm quite impressed by David. Also, for this kind of video (which requires really close listening), this length is just perfect. Thanks.

[@RadoRadimir]

Hi David.I see this video after few months.U maked good progres.Hope to meet you again in HN.

[@edouardsabourdy4057]

Good job to both student and the teacher!

[@dandan-zn7re]

love you guys, super helpful

[@CharlotteoVietNam]

Thank you for this video! Perfect for studying!

[@randalroy5827]

Cố lên David!!!

[@not-so-smartaleck8987]

2:25: "Vietnamese people like it very much when foreigners speak Vietnamese". I got the distinct impression--from another TVO vid, and other YT commenters--that the Vietnamese people won't speak to foreigners in Vietnamese unless you speak it perfectly (tones, accent, etc)...if anything, they might try to speak to you in English (if you're an English speaker) so they can learn more English. (?) At least this vid paints a lot more optimistic picture about someone who's relatively new to the language and is in Vietnam being able to converse with the locals in Vietnamese. :)

[@21rejones]

Hayden Tran try ‘nói tiếng Viẹt đi’

[@LoscoeLad]

8 months - an inspiration. I will go for it!

[@lisafordestrada6735]

Very impressive David, your Cousin Owen also says "way to go"

[@njekshun]

damn 8 months? good job david.

[@huntbones3363]

I actually learned a grip from this

[@longdang1119]

Xin chào TVO. Không biết trung tâm mình còn đào tạo và tuyển dụng giáo viên không ạ?

[@moneyislife124]

i like the girl's looks, she's very pretty

[@kevinkelly1262]

I’m searching for transcripts to Vietnamese movies. Do you have any advice?

[@cuongta9990]

You can find vietnamese app or website and find English movie, they have translate and sometime they have vietnamese voice (south VN voice). Movie on cable, movie on Zing App, FPT App, website movie .

[@alicea4654]

sau khi học 5 tháng,tôi có thể nghe tất cả trong video này .hâhhahaaaaaaa

[@TheRebornofSocialVietSub]

where are you from?

[@Joonsung84]

liars go to hell!!! no way. you are fucking liar

[@Babytiaah]

U're kidding -.-

[@SleepWavezzz]

Same here, học tiếng việt gần 5 tháng thôi mà.. thì hiểu cả video này. Nếu mà bạn muốn học một ngôn ngữ mới, học mọi ngày là tốt nhất.

[@phamgiakhanh8461]

Tôi được thầy giáo dạy ở lớp 😮

[@amieezisearth4431]

I'm thinking about learning Vietnamese. So.. is the Northern or Southern accent better to start with? Why?

[@guitarislife01]

It is easier to find resources to learn the northern dialect. I started learning with the southern dialect, and eventually switched because of the lack of resources to continue learning southern. I suggest learning the northern accent, even if your goal is to speak the southern accent. It will be easier to make the switch once you have a grasp of the language

[@hmao4466]

Inspirational.. but he is smart.

[@SleepWavezzz]

8 months is quite awhile.. He's got some vocab and some structure down but if he were to talk to anyone besides his teacher there "in the real world", I would assume they would have a hard time understanding him.. I've been learning Vietnamese for 5 months now and I've been practicing with other vietnamese locals, every single day (which I believe to be the best way to learn). I think the most important thing about the language is getting the intonations down first and really grinding those out so you know them by heart.. otherwise your just blowing air and the locals will have a real difficult time trying to understand you. Other than that, keep it up!

[@k5757657]

em cũng muốn nói tiếng Việt với cô Lân nhé😝😝😝

[@Tiengvietoi]

Kiệt ơi đến thăm Hà Nội đi và Kiệt có thể giúp TVO làm video Tiếng Việt nhé :)

[@k5757657]

[@NhungTranBee]

[@nguyenluong8706]

Cái gì thế này 8 tháng hả. Giỏi dã man. Chúc bạn học Tiếng Việt ngày một giỏi.

[@MiltonJava]

Ngữ pháp tiếng Nga khó nhất, nhưng tiếng việt nói và nghe khó nhất. ̣(tôi nghĩ)

[@TheRebornofSocialVietSub]

I come here to learn English. But something wrong with me :).
