I think it sounds harsh...in a cool way. The syllables barely feel like they flow, which is really funny sounding to me, as most languages I'm used to feel more "blendy" to me.

@@lemintrung5635 I assume you're a native speaker of Vietnamese, or maybe another tonal language (you have Thai written on some of your videos too). For many of us, we never used a tonal language in our lives, so this would be a huge struggle. (I enjoy your channel though! I like VPop).

[@remhk6672]

Definitely not true. Majority of the languages in southeast asia are not even tonal with few exceptions like thai, lao, Burmese and vietnamese, that's it. The ones that aren't tonal which constitute the majority in southeast asia are spoken by native inhabitants before the arrival of thai, lao, Burmese and vietnamese from less humid climates.

There is a little reminder if anyone is planning to learn Vietnamese. Vietnamese have many DIALECTS and ACCENTS. If you're about to learn Vietnamese, you should learn Hanoi dialect (Northern dialect). I know a few foreigners who accidentally chose Vietnamese classes in Da Nang (central) and then they were unable to communicate with people from the North or the South, Each province will have a different dialect and accent. Don't worry, Vietnamese people also suffer from this 😂.

Well, Da Nang accent is quite neutral and comprehensible. Try Hoi An, Hue, Quang Tri, Quang Binh, Nghe Tinh, Tay Son Binh Dinh, Soc Trang-Bac Lieu-Ca Mau... and you will be puzzled.

Sorry : xin lỗi 2. Cheers: chúc mừng. Cạn ly. Dzô (informal). Chúc sức khỏe sounds unnatural except for an khang thịnh vượng - Good health and prosperity for Tết occasion. Lunar New Year. 3. How much is it. Cái NÀY (giá) bao nhiêu? 4. The check please? VIetanmese does not familiar with using checks for payment. The best one for Cho xin hoá đơn is The bill, Please. 5. Where is the bathroom? Nhà vệ sinh ở đâu? Bathroom is American word for toilets and people don’t look for bathroom just in certain circumstances. 6. Beautiful, Pretty : đẹp, xinh. 7. Yes/ No; có, đúng, phải, được, nên/ không depending on the context. 8. Is it OK? Có được không? Có nên không. Are you OK? (Bạn) có ổn không? 9. OK, all right... just OK is enough, no one will add all right after that. 10. I’m fine tôi ổn, not as tôi khỏe Im I’m good. You’re welcome đừng ngại/khách sáo/bận tâm. No problem/issues/worries đừng bận tâm. These are prolonged typical errors often made.

Trying to decide whether I want to learn: Vietnamese, Turkish, Polish and Indonesian; *OR* Mandarin, Arabic, Russian and Hindi.

[@gachi1297]

Based on my experience where I live, I think Vietnamese, Hindi, and Mandarin would be the most useful :) Sadly, I’ve never met anyone who speaks Indonesian, Turkish, or Polish... and I’ve only met a couple of people who speak Russian

[@gachi1297]

So I would recommend the second

[@jamesgellert1263]

Depend where you live and where you want to go.

I’d prefer if they revived the use of Chữ Nôm script rather than the Latin script. To me, the original Chữ Nôm script represents the Vietnamese culture more culturally distinct. Not sure what does the younger generation of Vietnamese think tho. I’ve visited Hanoi and Sa Pa in December of 2018. Would love to go back again just for a cup of Vietnamese coffee and some good pho. Sending my regards from Malaysia!

[@d.b.2215]

Nobody seriously thinks the Chinese script should be brought back to everyday usage. Some people do enjoy it as a hobby though.

[@gp2779]

@@vlnvlaclogbaerhpno thanks for such a informative explanation!

[@gp2779]

@@d.b.2215 Yes. My first encounter with this writing system was when I visited the Hoan Kiem Lake at Hanoi. It was pretty confusing since I’m a Chinese speaker myself; but yet I can’t understand any of the characters. Like what the previous commenter has mentioned, I knw understand that the Latin script was eventually adopted as it helps in increasing the literacy rate.

[@KimPhabulous12]

@ It's derived from Chinese characters.

[@nguyenxovac9563]

Since Vietnam's transition to Latin, many words have been forgotten when the Nôm script ceased to be used, so the modern Vietnamese language has changed a lot over time.

[@James0408]

Vietnam use the Latin alphabet Me: why ?

[@dofinoah]

French colonialism and its easier to learn than the Chinese characters. But the letters based on Portuguese.

[@MinhNguyen-ff6xf]

Alexandre de Rhodes and his Jesuit brothers invective Vietnamese writing based on Latin alphabet with some influence of French, Portuguese, Spanish and Ecclesiastical Latin. When the French colonists finished the conquest of the entire Vietnam Empire, they accelerated the process of westernization by demolishing Han writing and forcing the utilization of Latin Vietnamese alphabet in the late 1800’s. Around the 1940’s the Han influence became blurry in Vietnam and the new generation that time considered French culture as “superior” and “truly civilized”, Han Chinese culture was dated and out-of-fashioned. People that time started using French phrases in daily conversations, dancing tango and rhumba in dinner parties, dressing like real westerners, and drinking French wine. 1930-1950 was a period that French influence became dominant

Latin characters are simple and universal.

[@dumbbol4657]

Cuz old Nôm characters are too hard for people so Latin is way better to make more people can learning Vietnamese
