Vietnamese language class for travellers Part III - more on food

[@lovetravelfood]

Thank you for teaching us Vietnamese language. It's easy to understand from your teaching 🎉❤

[@itsFiP]

As an Australian Vietnamese person myself, I've got to say I'm super impressed with your Vietnamese and your immersion into the Vietnamese culture - these videos are great, and I'm really loving them! You make a very good point regarding places to eat around Vietnam; to get a true authentic taste of Vietnamese food it is always good to make sure there are heaps of Vietnamese people in there digging into the food :) Keep up the great work with these videos, it's so wonderful to see non-Vietnamese people discovering more about the country and its culture!

[@bissetttom1738]

I have found these classes very helpful. your giving the words context makes them stick in the mind more readily. to many lessons are to formal and no one knows what you are saying because it is not how the people talk but you bring them to life, thanks.

[@lardofarp]

Been studying Vietnamese for about 2 months now. My wife is from Saigon. Ive been to Vietnam 9 times. After about 6 weeks I had a breakthrough and realized that I could do this. Your videos are great. I hope you do more.

[@JudahOwen]

Can't thank you enough for this three part series, Mark. I am moving to Hanoi next month and I now have three pages of words to practice. I've been doing Duolingo's online course, but it isn't a travellers guide, more a learn Vietnamese from the ground up approach, so we hadn't covered essentials like thank you, sorry and of course the food. I know you caveat these videos by saying you're unqualified, but in fact your teaching method of show it written down, say it and repeat it is excellent, as are the clues as to what the various accents on letters denote. I also like how you culturally locate some of these words too. I am very grateful indeed.

[@rustycompasstravel]

Thanks Judah - really appreciate the feedback!

[@paulgianni]

Thank you! My wife and her family are in and from the north, Vinh Phuc Province. They say 'heo' when referring to the pig, as do many others here.

[@Mikehillschannel]

This is a really good help alongside duo-lingo course. Nice to hear more context and cultural issues.

[@dcooper004]

I'm off to Danang next week, and have been cramming learning Vietnamese on KZbin. Your videos rule....thanks so much

[@Brancovtn65]

You're the man, Mark. These lessons are informative and entertaining.

[@ottalama]

I Want to say you a huge thank you Mark! I am a half-vietnamese trying to learn vietnamese language and your videos are just amazing! Keep up the good work!

[@alanofficial6625]

You did impress me alot when u speak all those common Vietnamese words, Sir. I've been in the UK for over 3 years and have never found anyone who can actually pronounce my surname, "Nguyen". I love to recommend my friends to follow your channel and learn the language from you. Hope u continue helping foreigners to get closer to Vietnam. Cheers

[@meo4849]

Hi Mark, I'm a Vietnamese and I find your videos are so interesting, also your native accents sound great

[@Largeportion1000]

Jezuz that Bun thit nuong looked amazing, back to Vietnam in Sept, October and its been years thanks to covid and work commitments, but cannot wait, Cheers Mark.

[@bubblenyandooza]

Thank you very much, really helpful to hear someone else with an Australian accent to learn how to pronounce things! Really brilliant lessons.

[@jasonless1975]

Your videos are truly awesome. I am Vietnamse and I am sad that I didnt even recognize how beautiful and remarkable of my language. Your own experience is surely unique, you speak with your heart and passion about our language. Thank you and have a great time in Vietnam, there are a lot of things await for you to explore.

[@MrHeLLHoRZeGaming]

My partner cannot compete with yourr epic online classes xD, thank you very much you have helped a lot, I have been with her for almost 3 years and you have taught me what she could not in those years, you are awesome my friend. xin ciao

[@adventure_onthedaily9851]

Thank you so much Mark, your videos have allowed me to understand basic intonation for the first time. Your explanations are so easy to comprehend. I'm now confident to say some basic phrases when I visit Vietnam next month.

[@selwyn581]

Hi Mark. Thanks for another really useful interesting video. I've just got back home ( to Northern Ireland ) after my 3rd trip to Vietnam and your website and videos have been a godsend. I visited places that I recognised from your videos and tried things that otherwise I might have missed. Keep up the good work and I look forward to the next language video. Selwyn.

[@flyingcub]

Hi Mark, I was already familiar with your blog, enjoying and benefiting from it for some time now, but only just recently came across your language/cultural videos... There are lots of good language classes out there, but your videos are totally unique, a combination of your language skills, your passion for the place and the people, and your cool disposition! Thanks so much for these, and looking forward to the next installment!

[@redshoeproject]

Keep the lessons coming. Always learning something. After four trips to Vietnam it is high time I learn at least a few phrases.

[@AnianaGonzales]

Blessed day and thanks. I am in Vietnam and new to everything.. Having difficulty to remember =)

[@SoloContestas]

That looks good.

[@NikkiNunnari]

Enjoyed all 3 of your videos, thanks you so much for sharing. I can't wait to 'talk' to my Vietnamese friends; I hope to do your language lessons justice!! lol

[@minimaxx21]

Great video! Thank you very much Mark! I hope you make more "Vietnamese language videos" like this. This series is really helpful and enjoyable.

[@heinzfuchs1015]

thank you for the good work!!! Helped me a lot!

[@NelsenBrewing]

Great thanks Mark, please keep them coming.

[@rogerliu1182]

Good morning, Very good, thank you

[@rustycompasstravel]

Thanks Roger.

[@francisbuysse5838]

very informative and entertaining, wish you had more!

[@hannahjayne7943]

Please post another soon, these are really helpful, maybe help with directions or place names?

[@temjam01]

These language classes are absolutely fantastic. Will you be adding to them at any point ? (I realize these were made some time ago now) because I've found you're ability to explain things to a newcomer to the Vietnamese language, along with your explanation of the geographical and dialectical differences (I live in Saigon, so only really need to use the Southern Dialect) make your videos my current favorites for grasping the basics.

[@rustycompasstravel]

No plan right now - enjoyed doing them very much tho. And glad you found them useful. There's a big list of unfinished video I need to attend to....

[@peterandkayenelson-davis4873]

Thanks Mark, We're off to Vietnam next week and have found your vid's roolly interesting and very helpful. All we hope to be able to do is to communicate with the 'normal' (i.e. please, thank you, hello, etc.) pleasantries with local people wherever we go. Thanks heaps, Pete & Kaye

[@manasislaychen]

U pronounce the sound "ng" really well ^^ I will recommend your channel for my international friends. And if u're confused about the south or north, u can say the way easier for u. Both ways can be understood properly.

[@jrod5069]

Cơm also means meal or comida in Spanish. For that matter, "anh ăn cơm chưa?" also means "have you been eaten yet?" or "have you had any meal?"

[@benw9949]

Oh, that grilled pork and noodles looks great. So do the other dishes. mmm! -- Wow, I see I need to try some local Vietnamese American food.

[@horsetinytea8914]

Excellent! U're very well. Good as vietnamese.

[@Kilkee4sheezy]

Mark, Glad I found these 3 videos. Is there more? Either way..subscribed.

[@rustycompasstravel]

That's it for language classes for now.

[@huotwag]

Thank you for another very good lesson Mark. What will the next lesson be about?

[@rustycompasstravel]

Hi Johanne - May lighten things up a bit now. Talk more generally about the language and some of its interesting cultural dimensions etc.

[@angelinatu7486]

I think you are really good at Vietnamese I know because a am Vietnamese

[@khanhlyle6263]

bạn nói tiếng việt rất giỏi.video rất hay.cảm ơn bạn nhiều

[@jrod5069]

I am very impressed by your teach style. Very dzí dzõm and interesting :)

[@terezarasovska8346]

I love these. Thanks very much. Do you know by any chance if people in Hoi An speak more with northern accent or southern?

[@rustycompasstravel]

Hi Tereza. Central provinces have their own accents and dialects.... but they all understand the Hanoi accent.

[@26blanco]

Wonderful lesson

[@piseykhan2517]

Dear Mark, as i have learned from your some several lessons about Vietnam language , i found that your lessons are really useful and helpful but one thing for this part III why you choose my ancestors ancient temple Angkor Wat of Cambodia , to teach Vietnam language, i really much appreciate to welcome you to visit and get to know our valuable culture but why you came up with an idea to distribute Vietnam language in our land it seems my Cambodia are using this language. I would like to precise that our language is KHMER. I am really appreciate and thankful for those foreigners came to visit my land but please be aware of some of culture conceptions or be respectful. I do hope you would understand what i mean to be. I deliver this message to you mean to show unsatisfied and bad temper or something, but i just would like only preserve my identity of my country because some people they even dont know what or where is Cambodia. It is the reason why! Thank you for your understanding

[@hinahanta]

In Phan Ri Cua we eat fish and rice for break fast, lunch, and dinner hahaha.

[@jrod5069]

country also means "quốc gia". It's a formal name which is mostly used in the south or folks with classical sino Vietnamese vocabularies. "Quốc" = nước. "Gia" = "nhà". So if you hear "nước nhà" it means "quốc gia".

[@tengun]

Wow, for the first time, I realize that the word "nước" which means "country" actually comes from the word "nước", which means "water".

[@mejulia4937]

Can u do more these kind of videos ?

[@BL-db6xt]

nươc Mỹ = beautiful nation = America. người Mỹ = beautiful people = Americans Even during the war the communist didn't change "nươc Mỹ" name despite millions were killed by by "beautiful" people

[@adamtraper1271]

john lock from Lost?

[@neilmac991]

Great videos and great food/drink which is only let down by to much added sugar sometimes 😕!

[@HoaTran-uq1dw]

in your video, there is a small mistake. gà is chicken not rice ( 8:27). by the ways i very like the way you teach vietnamese ( although i am vietnamese, i can not pronounce 6 tones exactly) . WELL DONE !!

[@haidang8043]

Thank you Mr, Bowyer,for enhance our country of VN, you has more class than a lot of Vietnamese people without education and made fool out of them self on You tube.sad.

[@huyenmai989]

Bạn thật giỏi ...

[@conglynguyen4153]

Lần này anh phát âm "Nguyễn" đúng rồi. Rõ hơn lần trước nhiều. Chúc mừng anh !

[@jeffmwoods]

thankyou very much

[@donquix540]

Cơm = (cooked) rice. Ex: I will have some rice with chicken. = Tôi sẽ ăn cơm với thịt gà.( Tôi/I sẽ/Will ăn/have cơm/cooked rice với/with thịt gà/chicken.) Gạo = (raw/uncooked) rice. However, We'll say "I will cook some rice = Tôi sẽ nấu cơm = Tôi/I sẽ/will nấu/cook cơm/cooked rice" instead "Tôi sẽ nấu gạo = Tôi/I sẽ/will nấu/cook gạo/raw or uncooked rice". We treat "Tôi sẽ nấu cơm" (not sound reasonable, is it!?) as an idiom.

[@HabiburRahman-hw4so]

Dear Mark, I need to demonstrate a power point presentation on Garments industries to the Vietnamese Garments factory workers and staffs, So that i have to learn vietnamese language. please suggest me the best option or any ref to learn clearly like your VDO's ....... I will be waiting for your answer.

[@rustycompasstravel]

+Habibur - Unfortunately I think you need professional help for that. I don't really have any specific school or online recommendation - there are many. Good luck!

[@niqqawest3887]

🥇🥈🥉🎖🏅

[@billlam7756]

it's a nguyen nguyen situation, no worries

[@bentas1]

To make it more perfect, you would like to consider of getting off the sound 'z' of the letter T. Thit, Tom... no Z sound in it. Cheers

[@andyfoto620]

typo @ 8:20 ga= chicken, not ga=rice

[@languagefreeassangeteacher5338]

thanks again :)

[@Amr_Elkholy]

❤️🇻🇳❤️🇻🇳❤️🇻🇳

phát âm chuẩn thật nha ^^

[@orangereaper]

I can see a lot of Australians asking for a Coconut (dừa)and getting a Pineapple (dứa). The Aussie habit of upwards inflection at the end of words will be their downfall.

[@rustycompasstravel]

And that dứa is thơm in the south just complicates matters further for everyone....

[@huongleable]

Shoot, you would think that everyone in the Vietnamese population had the Nguyen last name. At least everyone I have met. I'm the only one with the last name Le ]=

[@bentas1]

the North can not pronounce the letter D, they make it sounds like GI

[@viviantuongnguyen]

that is my last name

[@kalena9999]

Thank youi for including non meat words, vegetarian, and how to say nicely, no.

[@BL-db6xt]

Even more than 60 milions born & bred VNmeses can NOT pronounce properly this Nguyễn. This is a very conservative estimated figure.
