I speak fluently Viet but but never learn how to read it. Now I am learning from you so I could teach my kids.

[@yorusoo]

omg i have a similar situation

[@taylor_h796]

Those four English letters that aren't used in vietnamese does have an equivalent: F gets replaced with 'Ph' ; J can either be 'Ch' or 'Tr' ; and W gets split into 'D' or 'V' categories. From what I remembered, one of the varients of romanisation did have the letter Z but it never become standardised due to regional difference when it comes to pronounciation, so it was merged with the vietnamese 'D' being used instead.

[@ikhebdieishetnietgoeddathe4057]

J is not Ch or Tr but G, D + V in Southern. W is Q in southern. Z can be G or D or R in Northern

[@toanla9192]

W = qu

This is so cool! I’m from Romania and trying to learn Vietnamese. I really didn’t know we shared some vowels sounds. We too have the A Ă Â but it is different: In Vietnamese “” is an “Ă” to us (Romania). And “Ư” is “” to us (Romania). We have also “Δ but they sound the same ( and Î). Giving lots of love to Vietnam from Romania! ❤️❤️❤️

Thank mate. Enjoy learning a new language. Yêu Romania, đất nước của bạn rất đẹp.

Thank you so much! For the tutorial because in my family I was the only one who had not known how to read Vietnamese and that was embarrassing so this Helps So Much!

Thank you so much for your work, it's so hard to find viet resources in youtube to learn. Gonna binge watch! Also you are so pretty and classy!

[@lui640]

omg the vowels are so similar to portuguese, especially the third "a", sounds just like the "ã" in portuguese 🥰

Question: if ă and â both have a lift in frequency, how can their lifting sound exist when they’re subjected to a tone? ằ would have a natural sound that contradicts the tone

[@thanhlenguyentran2131]

á is the name of the letter ă, the same with ớ and â, just like the name of the letter a in English is /ei/, those are not how the letters ă or â is pronounced in Vietnamese, in fact ă is a short version of a and the same with â and ơ

There are tones in Vietnamese I guess. I heard they have tones but since the Alphabet is the same as English, apparently it is easier to learn as an English speaker for an asian language. I live in Orange County right next to the largest Vietnamese population in the country. And I am close to mastery in Spanish.

In England, we have 5 vowels, but they are pronounced differently in different areas, making 'accents'.

[@isoneidemartins1597]

One question, about keyboards and computers, and probably even notebooks, even in Vietnam, there are still letters like FJWZ, for Vietnamese people, do you use FJWZ for foreign words?

[@brisasalvas2267]

As a Brazilian and Portuguese speaker it s easier for me to read and pronounce even without knowing the meaning. The language was romanized by the Portuguese mainly Francisco de Pina and Gaspar.

[@491n4he5]

English has 14-16 vowel sounds, depending on accent. Spanish though does have only 5 vowel sounds. Spanish is beautifully phonetic.

[@nisioisinnerman]

Have read some english 'dialects' (my own adopted one included) are purported to have at least 19 distinct vowel phonemes, according to many linguists. Naturally people ofttimes have difficulty grasping the grapheme vs phoneme dilemma in such a largely non-phonetic mosaic language.

[@lindanguyen2943]

if anyone wants to find it and rewatch the alphabet part its at 0:58

[@time2livelife]

I know that the pronunciation of “đ” depends on whether you speak in the Northern dialect or Southern dialect. I can be pronounced as a “y” sound or a “z” sound. Is the “y” pronunciation northern or southern dialect?

[@melosaurrn]

Southern

Okay. That’s encouragingly I thought it was gonna be a lot more letters than that. The sounds are pretty hard to differentiate though.

[@larrylenard4284]

@@EasyVietnamese4u Thank you. I'm trying to uncover Vietnamese that sounds like it is written. On day one of my journey--3 years ago--was a teacher saying that Vietnamese writing is phonetic. That may have been true in the 16th century, but every region of Vietnam distorts the language. I listened to a video from an online teacher in HCMC who said that Vinh had the closest dialect. However when I talk to people from Hanoi, they say that Vinh is a very hard dialect to learn, but they do not tell me why. My second teacher was from Vinh and she had me learn the Vinh pronunciation with Hanoi tones. Seems perfectly fine with me, but she has retired from teaching. So keep doing your best and I will keep trying to learn your language.
