Vietnamese language class for travellers - Part II, Food

[@banebanr5941]

man this guy has the Vietnamese accent for a foreigner, a talent that not many possess.

[@Chukhanhly2507]

From a friend to another. Get a Vietnamese wife! Listening to her all day, the accent will be yours to possess. :))

[@nvhieu97]

Your pronunciation is perfect and you got the two dialects correct. I applaud you so much for taking time out to do this. You seem like you've invested so much interest and passion for another country and that truly is admirable. Thank you for that, your work is much appreciated :) - A Viet Appreciating your Work

[@rustycompasstravel]

***** Thanks Hieu! That's very generous. My vocab is mediocre unfortunately but I enjoy your language very much.

[@rustycompasstravel]

Thanks for the interest guys. A new language class has been added - more about food with occasional detours into other random subjects. Hope you enjoy!

[@VerbranntiChaib1]

Mark is a natural born teacher. I like his presentation. I like the way he explains all the little dots and strokes above and below the letters. I like also that he gets compliments from native speakers on his pronunciation. G'donya Mark. I hope you have part III in the pipeline.

[@Trifelivin]

I appreciate these videos... I am working front of house at a pho' restaurant, and like to tease the kitchen with a word or two of Vietnamese each week.

[@ttran2859]

Wow, great lesson in Viet pronunciation & pointing out Viets’ reverence for foods/eating by way of its language usage that I’ve never noticed before. Thanks!

[@Jaota82]

Wow, great lesson. I can go for another 30 minutes w/o getting boring. Please do share more language classes for travellers. Thanks, Mark.

[@rustycompasstravel]

Jaota82 Thanks Jaota82 - More coming soon!

[@sandyt4343]

These lessons are wonderful, having the subtitle added is such a big help because the way I’ve been learning is by sounds alone and having the text along with it is fantastic because it’s getting a better grasp on what the word is. Thanks VERY much for doing these this way

[@terezarasovska8346]

I love Hué ♥️ thanks for the video these really help

[@aimericdenaud1627]

Thanks a lot Mark . Th'at's a great way to discover vietnamese . I have a lot a fun discovering this language , and this culture with you . You're a good teacher . Your videos are helpful .

[@chinkhewng3742]

A much interesting & intelligent lesson that goes straight to the heart of the Vietnamese culture & psyche.

[@andrewbaker3620]

Another aussie to visit this wonderful country for the first time with my partner. Miss the place already. Many thanks for the great tips.

[@huongta1379]

It's really interesting to watch a foreigner teaching Vietnamese on KZbin :) and i should say your Vietnamese is cute, both pronunciation and the way you use it

[@bantriky]

Troi oi Mark, you speak Vietnamese so well, you are a good teacher. Great video !

[@Dragon333fly]

Wonderfully presented! Your explanation on how to pronounce 'ngon' using "hang on" was exceptionally helpful. Thank you.

[@Cenot4ph]

It's common in Thailand as well to ask if someone has eaten yet. Thanks for the language and cultural education, very useful!

[@eastmale]

Your videos are amazing. They were recommended to me by a vietnamese person. They are really helpful.

[@IkeMann100]

Hi Mark. Many thanks for the excellent videos. You are an excellent teacher. I have been trying to understand the intonation for some time now. You made it clear in just a few minutes. Many thanks again.

[@MrPrivatbruger]

I just stumbled across this video and subscribed to the rest. As a part time resident in Vietnam (6 months a year) I enjoyed your (mostly) southern accent!

[@Primeaux182]

Ít is a real pleasure to watch your videos - you have an very engaging and light-hearted way of being. And all the background knowledge makes the learning so much richer. Cám ơn, Mark :)

[@abdulhamidmohamedali6972]

Came across your channel, wonderful and clear explanations from beginning, love it and enjoyed. Thanks a lot, it was so helpful.

[@rustycompasstravel]

Thanks Abdul 🙂

[@nhiiitran]

Your pronunciation is very good :D I'm studying abroad in Canada now, and lots of people ( I think all of people except Vietnamese) can't say my name. My name is Nhi, but they always call Ni. That's why when someone askes me about my name, I will say my name's Ni, lol.

[@f.w.m.1759]

Mark!! I love your videos so much! I really appreciate the time you've taken out of your daily activity to make an upload these; you have an amazing accent and you put a coolness into learning Vietnamese. Thanks again!

[@sweetpea5539]

Hi Rusty! I LOVE your language videos (all both of them! 🤣) It is especially pleasing that you add history and culture. I am traveling to Vietnam from the US in December and would welcome more of your lessons (even though this one is quite old). There's nothing else I've found that compares. Many blessings 💜

[@rustycompasstravel]

There's a 3rd one there Jessica. Check it out.

[@kelyoung4268]

Only ever heard Nguyen as Win and Vietnam as in ham no narm. Been to Vietnam a dozen times and certainly don't speak fluent Vietnamese but these are two words I have taken notice of. By the way been to Hue three times and it is beautiful and food sensational.Keep up your good work

[@mekongdon]

Hi mark, I live in Nha Trang. I am from the USA. You are a very good teacher and very inertaining.

[@rustycompasstravel]

Thanks Don - Glad you've enjoyed.

[@ericsens4355]

Hi Mark, thanks a lot for your vid's about the Vietnamese language. We, my wife and I, will come to Vietnam in April and travel from Hanoi to the south. I want to speak the language as I I can and you have helped me lot. Not only about the language, but also about the background of the culture. Tôi là Eric, cam on!

[@bennychewDev]

Thanks for the very interesting video Mark. Besides learning Vietnamese, I also enjoy the Vietnamese culture insight. I just started to learn a few words of Vietnamese lately for my trip to Vietnam in march, I appreciate it you break down the example sentences giving the meaning of the smaller parts. Cam on!

[@nguyenchi6193]

Your Vietnamese is so good!! I've tried to show some English teachers how to pronounce "ng" so they can call the name of their students correctly (for example "Ngọc", "Nguyễn", "Ngân"), but they couldn't I really like this video and the way you speak our language ^^~ Thank you!

[@chrisg2626]

Thank you very much! It looks easy to learn when you teach.

[@sritantra]

Mark, you are coming across great here. Thank you.

[@MrSewatson]

I love the Hang on method to assist with the word Would be great if you could use this other words Thanks for the Videos

[@LeHuyen2410]

it's nice to hear a foreigner speaking Vietnamese. I bet there is no one can speak Northern Vietnamese better than you. Great job! :)

[@my4202]

excellent teaching. I am in Vietnam, now. thanks you.

[@toddsul]

Great job, Mark!. Please continue this very helpful Vietnamese learning series.

[@juliodontiza]

Thanx Mark, love the way you're sharing it. Best ;)

[@VanNguyen-yq3lw]

Lovely work Mark. I love your comparison between NGON and the liaison in HANG ON. Absolutely accurate. I use SINGER to compare and instruct my students how to pronounce NG sound but they struggle a lot. Thanks a lot for your hint. Thank you for spreading the Vietnamese language.

[@ropersix]

Should be title "Part II, Pronouncing Ngon." Very helpful with the "hang on" tip. I practiced out on my run today, and think I've got it! Based on other countries I've been to, being able to say "it's delicious" is at the top of my list.

[@ChrisOgan]

Tremendous video Mark. I have learned more practical Vietnamese in your few videos than many of the paid programs i use. I hope you can product more. Regards, Chris

[@selwyn581]

Thanks Mark. Another brilliant video and very useful. I can't wait to go back to Vietnam next year around Tet and try out my Vietnamese. Hopefully I'll get to Hue this time. Keep up the good work.

[@buddymcentyre4842]

Thanks. Fourth time back since '68.

[@danielhusain7570]

I love these lessons!

[@ariatruong327]

I'm preparing to teach Vietnamese for foreigners. Watching your video really helped me a lot. Now I know what foreigners are thinking and feeling about Vietnamese. Thanks to you I know some tips to make people pronounce "ng" sound (which you said that's probably the most difficult sound for foreigners) Thank you so much and I hope there'll be more videos about Vietnamese made by you again. Thank you for loving Vietnam.❤️

[@dzungtrinh3888]

Your video is Very interesting to watch.

[@viannatruong4181]

As a native speaker, I am thoroughly impressed with your pronunciation and accent or lack thereof. Thank-you Mark.

[@feltkh]

Hey mate! great sharing for both your teaching. Really appreciate it if you could share more.

[@JennTran]

Oh I just watched it again, you really did well at the last time lol. Hope you have more interesting videos in the future like this! I like it :)

[@jcscoops7835]

Mark these are brilliant. please make more! i am moving to Hanoi in August and would like to learn as much as i can.

[@anti_MATT_er]

I never thought about my other language in this way. Thanks for the new perspective.

[@rustyspygoat4089]

How the hell do you transition so effortlessly between fluent English and a pretty darn well pronounced Vietnamese accent?

[@JSVC12]

Hi Mark, I really enjoy your videos!

[@huhawond]

I'm heading to Vietnam at the end of July and I find your videos very helpful and interesting! I think I almost got the 'ngon' pronounciation right... ;)

[@michimmoffarsenault1414]

Thanks for videos. Would be interesting to see you do a language lesson with a local Vietnamese (like your casual teaching style that does away with the boring classroom setting)

[@cancanjaker1620]

I will be travelling to Hue next week and so this video is just what I need.

[@quynhthai-butler2436]

You are awesome. I am Vietnamese, and I always have to find the way to teach my American husband some of my language, and I guess I can let him watch your videos instead. lol.

[@AudioAlchemy2023]

Great vids. Keep them coming

[@Owlerycrinkie0918]

A thumbs up for another great video!

[@user-nu8kt7ud6z]

Great lesson, waiting for more!!!

[@RichWatson]

Thanks Mark, this is the best way for me to learn some Vietnamese as I have been here for a year and have found learning foundation quite useless - your videos really do arm me with useful knowledge

[@francesj.719]

His explanation is excellente, so much better than other vienamese video. I could understand cleary. If he has online-edu web-site, although not for free, I would apply for that for sure.

[@toannguyensy6545]

your Vietnamese is awesome. Thanks for uploading the videos. u're an interesting teacher.

[@duongsun]

So interesting and funny!

[@RolandLowhorn]

Interesting conversation. thanks

[@nicholaspearson4246]

Thank you! This is a first rate language guide.

[@HiepNguyen-kg8dt]

Best way to teaching language!

[@kshao8884]

Thank you, it is good start to learn Vietnamese.

[@rubykor1]

In Korean, 'have you eaten rice yet?' is a way of greeting too!

[@rogerliu1182]

Good morning, Very good, thank you

[@rustycompasstravel]

Thank you too.🙂

[@itsgottabeus1394]

Dude, you make the best lessons!

[@shortiezluv]

You’re very good at this

[@ngoctramphan5544]

Your Vietnamese language ability is so good!!

[@huotwag]

When is part 3 coming? Please!

[@myngoc3967]

Có lẽ chú rất yêu đấy nước của chúng cháu! Cảm ơn chú nhiều ạ!

[@alloveforhannie]

Look forward for your future videos abt Vietnam language :)

[@chocopie9195]

Cháu là người Việt, bác phát âm chuẩn, hay bác ạ :D hehe. Cháu chúc bác tiếp tục phát triển khả năng tiếng Việt của mình và công việc dạy học này nhé :)

[@starcorpvncj]

I first watched Mark many years ago. Good value, but unfortunately mostly northern diaglect when I live primarily in the South.

[@Paul-in-Viet-Nam]

Thank you for your videos! I've been in Viet Nam for five years and haven't been able to adopt the language. I've watched other teaching channels, but gained very little. From yours, however, I've been able to retain quite a bit more. Regarding hesitancy to express dislike for any food, what I've experienced follows: A Vietnamese friend in Vinh, Nghe An joined me at the province's best restaurant, American Steak, for a meal. He struggled through the curry, but refused to admit he didn't like it. l told him I'd eat it and he could get something else, but he insisted on finishing it. Me: You don't like that, do you? Them: Yes, I like it a little bit.

[@xmylinhx2726]

Very pleasant way of teaching :)

[@sanaphuc4665]

Anh nói tốt quá, chúc anh vui vẻ khi ở Việt Nam.

[@terezarasovska8346]

I don't know what to do when there are two accents above a letter... Like with the words Nguyễn... There is wave but also roof

[@LearnVietnameseWithSVFF]

Wow, have you every come to Saigon, please make one video about Saigon :) thanks

[@thuhanguyen1006]

You are so adorable! I wonder when will you make part IV?

[@kennethlinton4432]

Excellent

[@rustycompasstravel]

Yes. I think I said it 3 different ways - hopefully correctly at least once! For some reason in English I tend to say to lose the "g".....hence the confusion.

[@TheMicheloSaverio]

Awesome man, thanks!

[@MarcaF7]

Hi, great videos!

[@ameetkumar9437]

That's really great .. But where is the third part ?? :(

[@cyanidemaiden]

Omg this is going to take LOTS of practice....

[@daominhduc6975]

I like the way you pronounce a same word but with different northern and southern accent.

[@DrJanpha]

That's cool! Mark I also like your Australian accent...

[@JennTran]

I realized that you said the word "ngon" perfectly, and you wanna improve the sound of the word "nguyen", it's something similar.. ;) thanks for making this video! It was so good :)

[@katietinh5598]

Mark, please make us some more Vietnamese language videos! Please :)

[@mattmonte2171]

Omg i think your right about the Vietnamese and good because my fiancé who is Vietnamese she looks so happy when she eats even just a simple meal she becomes very happy,,, By the way she’s the reason I’m learning to speak Vietnamese to talk to her and to officially ask her father if I can marry her in Vietnamese cuz no one but her speaks English in her family and I’m traveling to Vietnam next year to meet her family and I was wondering if you had a video explaining how to go about doing that

[@paulgianni]

Thank you for this video! I've been in Viet Nam for over three years, thought Hue was really interesting (especially the Citadel) and find the language difficult (at best) to learn, yet your videos make it easy. I know that regional dialects impact the language, almost to the point that a citizen from one region may not be understood in another. How universally understood and used are the phrases you cover in this video? Most of the other videos on KZbin are difficult to follow, I wish you made more. Do you have a source you recommend for learning the language?

[@buinam5433]

Your pronunciation is very well.

[@chloemacdonald9325]

he's pretty good!

[@maiduyenvinfastofficial8068]

ngữ âm,ngữ điệu của anh tốt quá ạ ! Very nice

[@xuananhnguyen1272]

Amazing

[@clever_taussig]

Very interesting!

[@neithim9993]

your vietnamese pronunciation is very good ;)

[@waynevietnam]

Their is a talent to learning and absorbing foreign languages. I am so envious of his pronunciation. Mine sucks even after 7 years.
