Thanks for the tip about G/Gh, no other videos I've seen have pointed out the difference between the Vietnamese and English pronunciation.

There is no difference in pronunciation of the two that is pronounced as /g/ as in 'go, get'. However, in correct writing form you will notice /Gh/ will generally stands in-front of vowel like /e/ for example: 'ghen' -> means 'to envy', 'ghe't' -> means 'to hate', 'ghe^' -> 'causing horror, fear'.

G/gh does not differ from /g/

G/ gh are the same sound as when you say "go, give, get"

You need to look up linguistics terminology to understand what I am saying here: G in English is a plosive. GH in Vietnamese is a fricative. They are not the same.

Just want to point out some caveats here. Austen is a great and credible tutor in helping you pronounce Northern accent. I would like to offer a few tips so that you won't find it shocking in a situation where you converse with a Southerner. In Southern accent, /d/ -> /j/ as in 'you, yen, yet' for example 'da -> means skin, hide'. And /gi/ -> /z/ that is more correct in textbook or /j/ more commonly pronounced. Here is my theory, Southerners don't like the sound of friction that is created by restricting the airflow through the gap of your teeth. In my personal experience /z/ sounds like a slithering snake or noisy bee. Too much of this hurts my ears. So most of the time Southerners will circumvent this by replacing it with /j/. Think of this as in the equivalence of English words like 'letter -> /let3r/ or lazily pronounced as /led3r/. Notice the /t/ also induces more friction than /d/. And /r/ -> just as /r/ in English, or sometimes as /j/ or /g/ in a few regions down South. And /tr/-> just as /tr/ in English for less confusion, sometimes as /ch/.

Thank you for your input. The way you addressed the differences is clear, factual, and helpful to learners. Nearly all my experience is with the Northern accent but from what I have experienced with the southern accent, your analysis is spot on. Thanks!
