Learning Vietnamese is HARD! | How I learned #Vietnamese...

My experience learning Vietnamese was like driving on a bumpy road. Honestly, I probably spent the first 4 months unlearning all the incorrect things that I grew up saying. In this video, I share with you some of the things that I had a hard time with while learning Vietnamese.
Was learning frustrating? Yes.
Am I happy that I took the time to learn? Most definitely.
Do I have more to learn? I'm just getting started.

this video is so funny and relatable, i’m trying so hard to learn without quitting right now but it’s so difficult - i am also south, can slightly read and speak but can’t write and missing vocab

Love these vids!! I've been learning for about 2 months now, I get a kick out of your vids and learn a thing or two. Keep them coming!

Same story, haha! Here you got an "a" with the hat, "a" with the smile, "o" with the hook, "o" with the wave... top-notch videos man, glad I subscribed!

[juliush]

Your vids are top quality man, can't wait for you to get 1k this year!

I love your attitude and can relate to your situation. I’ve also watched Annie’s videos for years. You’ve encouraged me to try harder to learn Vietnamese before moving back. Thanks ! Subscribed.

Ă —> That´s a bowl on top. That´s the reason why you use it for „ăn” = to eat

Yesss, haha, it was so helpful when one of my tutors finally taught me the way that Vietnamese people spell (onset and rime, add the tone), but you still have to have an ear for it to figure out what letters they're saying because the name of each letter is just the sound of the letter. I personally find the hats, hooks, and moons (my teacher said smiles) helpful because there doesn't seem to really be a word for it in VN besides the sound itself (I could be wrong), but I think teachers should definitely use the VN words for the tones since you need that for spelling. My first teacher said up tone, down tone, etc, but I think that's an unnecessary simplification that makes it harder in the long run.

I thought you were a Filipino at first, but after i watched all your vlogs i realised you are vietnamese american. How cute you are!

[victorialim]

this is hilarious!! your vietnamese is truly great now (at least to an untrained ear) -- do you have any advice on how to improve? I've been mostly self studying with the occasional online Vietnamese lesson... would you recommend consistent lessons instead? Thank you!

[donutshield]

So cool, bi understand everything you say in viet, but can't read it 🙈🙈

[tribouletr]

Yo, this was awesome. As a 40 year old white American, I appreciate this take so much

Did you do 1on1 classes with learn vietnamese with annie? Also is tutor better than language learning apps if I want to learn southern vietnamese?

[Corvus]

"I fat the door" got me hard lol

[sontung]

Con doi and có hông normally it is the way how southern Vietnamese say, it doesn’t happen with northern Vietnamese, because northern Vietnamese speaks with a more clear tone and voice😂

[justatouchofblush-velma]

I’m learning! Using apps :) I work at a salon

[SuperGuitarboyz]

Damn this guy learn southern accent 😂 respect bro

[encrustingacro]

0:25 yoghurt in Vietnamese is actually "da ua" (or gia ua; not sure the spelling). Don't think I've heard the word sữa chua, but the direct translation is "sour milk"

[donutshield]

I speak vietnamese from mymother but can't read it, need to leatn...i'm french

[morelukeplayz]

Very funny video, I relate to this! Vietnamese is my first language but I feel like I've lost my language at times because I grew up in America and I always speak English everyday. Still though, I am halfway fluent through it, I can kinda read it, say it, and listen to it. Easier than Chinese to be honest.

Video rất buồn cười, tôi liên quan đến này! Tiếng Việt là ngôn ngữ mẹ đẻ của tôi nhưng đôi khi tôi cảm thấy như mình đã đánh mất ngôn ngữ của mình vì tôi lớn lên ở Mỹ và tôi luôn nói tiếng Anh hàng ngày. Tuy nhiên, tôi đã đọc được nửa chừng, tôi có thể đọc, nói và nghe được. Thành thật mà nói, dễ dàng hơn tiếng Trung Quốc.
