Lesson Transcript

Hi everyone, it's Linh.
Xin chào các bạn, tôi là Linh.
Welcome to the Whiteboard Lessons.
In this lesson,
I'm going to introduce to you how to give your email in Vietnamese.
In particular, I'm going to introduce you
how to read the alphabet in a Vietnamese way.
And also, of course, we're going to go through the vocabulary,
the sentence pattern, the grammar points, and also some cultural points.
Are you ready?
Let's get started.
Welcome to the vocabulary part.
Let's take a look at the alphabet and see how we pronounce all the letters.
All right.
The first one, you see the letters in blue,
those are the English alphabet, right?
And the letters in black,
those are the Vietnamese pronunciation.
So let's go through each of them.
a
bê
xê
dê
e
ép
gờ
hát
i ngắn
It means short E.
di
ca
lờ
mờ
Next one.
nờ
o
Your mouth has to be like this.
o
pê
qui
rờ
ét
tê
u
Pay attention on the form of your mouth.
u
vê
vê kép
That means W.
vê kép
ích
y dài
That means long E. So here we have ingắn and y dài
and the last one
dét
Also we have at.
So in Vietnamese, we will say
a coùg
or a mờc
because this looks like a hook.
a mờc
And also the dot, we have
chám
Okay, clear
Now let's go through all of them one more time.

Very good. Now let's move on to the next part, dialogue.
Welcome to the dialogue.
When I read, I would like you to pay attention to how to give your email in Vietnamese.
And let's see if you can find the vocabulary in the dialogue.
First one, let's talk about the question.
If you want to ask for someone's email, you will say
xin vui lòng cho biết địa chỉ email của chi?
So this is a formal way to ask for someone's email.
Xin vui lòng cho biết địa chỉ email của chi?
And how do we respond to that?
Địa chỉ email của tôi là hát a nờ hát a cong innolang chám com.
Now let's go through the meaning of the dialogue that we mentioned before.
Xin vui lòng cho biết địa chỉ email của chị?
Xin vui lòng It means please.
Cho biết.
To know.
Địa chỉ email.
That means email address.
Địa chỉ means address.
Của is like of or belong to.
So we have của chị.
It means your or of yours.
Xin vui lòng cho biết địa chỉ email của chị?
Technically it means please can I know your email address.
So we have your email address please. Okay
Xin vui lòng cho biết địa chỉ email của chị.
And how about the response?
Địa chỉ email của tôi là hát a nờ hát a cong innolang chám com.
We have địa chỉ which means address.
Email.
Của tôi.
My.
Là.
Is.
And then you put the email.
Xin vui lòng cho biết địa chỉ email của chị?
Địa chỉ email của tôi là hát a nờ hát a cong innolang chám com.
Welcome back.
Now let's take a look at the sentence pattern.
This pattern will be the structure that all of our dialogue follows.
Remember that our topic is how to give your email in Vietnamese. Right?
So don't worry much about the question.
You just need to remember how to answer.
Địa chỉ email của tôi là.
We have địa chỉ email của tôi.
This is a subject.
Là is a verb.
And then email.
You put your email address there.
Địa chỉ email của tôi là.
Which means my email address is.
And then you put the email.
Easy right?
Địa chỉ email của tôi là.
Something something.
Địa chỉ email của tôi là.
That's it. Now let's move on to the last part which is the grammar point.
Here in this lesson I'm going to introduce you
three grammar points which will be very useful in the future lessons as well.
The first one we have.
của
It means of or belong to.
So basically if you want to make a possessive pronoun you will use.
của
And then you put the pronoun after that.
For example.
của tôi
của chỉ
And this one indicates ownership. Okay
của
The second one we have.
tôi
It means I and basically this is the first person singular pronoun.
Remember that we use tôi for people who are like the same age with you.
Or friends, colleagues, acquaintances.
But for older people we don't really say that
because it doesn't sound very respectful.
But in this lesson it's going to be
one of the most basic lessons so we just focus on the most common pronoun.
tôi
And the third one we have.
là
You see here we have.
Địa chỉ email của tôi là.
So this one means to be verb.
And it is used to link the subject
chư ngữ
and the predicate.
vi ngữ
We have subject
chư ngữ
predicate.
vi ngữ
So that plays a role as the connection, a linking word. Okay
chư ngữ là vi ngữ
For example here we have
Địa chỉ email của tôi là.
is a subject, right?
Là is a verb
and email is a predicate.
So we have the structure subject,
verb and then predicate.
It's pretty similar to English, right?
Because this is one of the most basic sentences.
Địa chỉ email của tôi là.
And then you put the email.
