HideHi VietnamesePod101 listeners!
What is your morning routine like?
Hi Max,
Thank you for your post.
Very good sentences.
Just a small mistake in this sentence "Tรดi sแปng แป Xรญt-Nit vรกo รc" (I live in Sydney in Australia). We use "แป" for both "in" in the sentence. So it should be "Tรดi sแปng แป Sydney แป รc".
Happy learning!
Cheers,
Chi

Hi TN,
Thank you for your comment. You are right about the dialects. Just like every other countries, there are dialects in Vietnam too. However, the closest to the standard pronunciation is the one from Hanoi - the capital. Because the 6 tone marks are clearly pronounced and you can hear the differences between those 6 tone marks from Hanoi accent. Therefore, it is easier to remember how to write the words with correct tone marks if you listen to Hanoi accent. Other areas' accent will be slightly different. And it is a big difference when you move toward the Middle part or South of Vietnam where people just pronounce in 5 tone marks. And there are rules in changing the pronunciation depends on the area.
We also provide the Southern Vietnamese series here. Please have a look: https://www.vietnamesepod101.com/2015/04/07/survival-phrases-s2-1-thank-you-in-southern-vietnamese/
Hope you enjoy those lessons!
Best,

Every time I check out a video teaching Vietnamese, it is always the Northern Vietnamese accent/dialect, which is not completely correct pronunciation. It's like there are different accents/dialects of English but there are always the standard way to speak it correctly. Unless you want to talk like Vietnamese Northerners, I find the Vietnamese accent that is closest to the standard pronunciation is the one from Saigon.
Just an opinion from someone who can speak Vietnamese fluently.
Regards.

This needs an English translation to go with the Viet spelling/pronunciations
Too much too fast, as an absolute beginner I do not understand how I can be expected to learn this way. This should be in the beginner section at a minimum.
Hi there,
thanks for this great lesson. After studying the 'Questions'-lessons I finally find some more elaborate grammar notes. I've been looking for this.
There is one favour I want to ask: Could you pls downsize the lesson notes? These are always around 15 MB. Takes some time to download. I don't think this is necessary. With JapanesePod101 the lesson notes are about 500 KB even for 7 or 8 pages filled with Kanji.
Good work, carry on!
