Finally! Someone teaching Vietnamese in the southern accent. So hard to fine a good instructor with the southern accent. Thank you.

This is really helpful! I've been trying to learn Vietnamese to surprise my ông ngoại and bà ngoại but I can't pronounce anything if my life depended on it!

I’m not Vietnamese …just a person who has an interest in learning a little bit of the language …your explanation and repetition is super helpful and I plan on re-watching this video several times! Thank you!

[kewpienguyen]

LOVE the way you teach! Also that you do southern dialect 😁

[karthikdan]

This is so good, very very useful, better than paid ones, I loved the way she said "oh my God" after completing the first row :)

[zbfmhjg]

I feel well prepared to start learning Vietnamese after watching this. Thank you!

Some corrections/explanation:
-ă is not pronounced different because of the ending consonant. The ă in the alphabet is pronounced different because it lacks an ending consonant, but ă has to be always followed by another letter and can’t be in final position. Since in the alphabet it doesn’t have a letter come after it just gets pronounced the same as ‘a’ except it gets the rising tone to distinguish it from ‘a’. Same goes to â and ơ.

-Vietnamese b and đ are implosive which means air gets pulled in when pronouncing it, rather than pulling it out. So it’s not the same in English. B and Ð is also pre-glottalized. The ipa for b and đ are /ʔɓ/ and /ʔɗ/ and not /b/ and /d/

- IPA for d is not /y/ but /j/

- IPA for e is not /e/ but /ɛ/

-You pronounced g as /g/ while in Vietnamese it’s /ɣ/, though I’m also guilty of pronouncing it as /g/
