As a Vietnamese I can confirm that she is a very good teacher. Her pronunciation is very clear. Really great for beginners.

My kitty cats thought I was talking to them they kept meow wingback LOL

I was born in vietname but was adopted before i could talk and i just started learning vietnamese for myself this rlly helped

So helpful! You are so kind and patient! I’m half Vietnamese but I never learned the language when I was young. My dad has a hard time teaching us because he gets frustrated that we can’t get the tones. I love how you break it down and have us practice. I will come back to this video many times I’m sure! ☺️

As a non Vietnamese speaker I appreciate that she explains the various tones and how they sound, I like to be able to pronounce properly. I also have a Vietnamese hairdresser.

The good news is people in Vietnam are very forgiving even if you can't pronounce it perfectly. They will appreciate just the fact you're trying to speak their language. Many will even help you.

I was always scared at the fact that Vietnamese had six tones but now I feel so much better! This is so helpful!!

Thank you so much for this video. I was so lost on how to correctly read and pronounce words on my own. I kept wondering what the symbols above the letters were. It's been hard learning Vietnamese but I won't give up. It's a personal goal for me to learn. Practice makes perfect.

I'm started to learn vietnamese, I'm planning to go to Vietnam, I'd like to be able to communicate with the locals, at least some basics stuffs. This videos are really helpful, a lot of Thanks Lan! Btw, I'm a spanish native speaker, and it's pretty easy to make the "Nh" sound because of "Ñ" in spanish haha. Also, I'm studying chinese and thai, so tones are not "hard at all" But still harder than japanese and korean at least in the phonetic haha. But maybe chinese it's kinda easier than thai and vietnamese, imo, because of the hanzi, that helps me to get a lot of vocabulary because I already speak japanese so that helps me a lot in some characters xD

Tones are what makes vietnamese hard to learn... but vietnamese people kindness is what makes one accept the challenge.

You make it sound so easy, you're a great teacher. I actually enjoyed "Tones", it is fun.

One thing I like about your videos is that as you pronounce a given Vietnamese word, you also give the English meaning of the word (at least sometimes)--for us English speakers, this is helpful for learning both pronunciation and vocabulary! :)

I love the fact that it's Northern Vietnamese. most channels are Southern.

Oh gosh I feel like I'm getting them, but then I ask my friend and she says they all sound the same when I do them 😭😭

The tone is pretty much similar to my mother tongue Cantonese (9 tones). Feeling happy about this. However, pronunciation is still very hard for me. The combination of vowels is a lot more and I often mix it up. Master different Asian languages is my dream, I've done Japanese, now doing intermediate Korean on Prof. Yoon's channel, and Vietnamese here. Just brought a terrible Vietnamese course somewhere else last month and got it refund since that teacher can't even explain the 4 tones clear enough. I'm so lucky to arrive here, TVO is a wonderful teacher ^_^

Very interesting, I am learning Mandarin, both Vietnamese and Chinese are tonal languages. The interesting part is that while Chinese has only 4 tones Vietnamese has 6 tones. But most interesting of all however is the nice way this beautiful teacher teaches everything. Loved it! 😊

I'm an Indian and i want to learn vietnamese ans i was really confused in the tone and now it's only a little bit hard. But i've got the 'no tone', 'high tone' and 'low tone' 💯% perfectly! Thanks!

This is so interesting! I am loving learning Vietnamese and I never knew that the beautiful sounds I hear were 6 different tones! Thank you!

Very useful video,I like Vietnam 🇻🇳 ,ITS people and culture and I’m learning some Vietnamese,it’s a very beautiful language!!! Xin chào from Italy 🇮🇹 !!!

thank you so much for this wonderful explanation ! I got interested in Vietnamese just recently :) your voice is very clear and beautiful

me: *trying to repeat every word after her* me: pronounces 5:29 out loud my brazilian parents: so you've chosen death. note: "cu" in Portuguese means "asshole"

She's such an awesome teacher! So personable! The hand gestures are also very helpful. Thank you for the comprehensive breakdown of tonal pronunciation. :)

honestly, i'm vietnamese but i don't really know the way i learned vietnamese. i don't know much about vietnamese grammars or maybe we don't focus much on them

That last part at the end was exactly what I was hoping I would find in a video, but didn't even know it! Back-to-back comparison of the different tones, including the similar ones! It's so clear now, after having watched this!

When I started learning there were 9 tones. But at any rate this made everything much easier thank you.

This video was incredibly useful and extremely helpful! Thank you! 🙏🏽

Wow, finally a video with good sound quality.

I am just starting out and I find this video very helpful. Love the passion put into your videos. Great job! Thanks for sharing.

I've always wanted to learn how to read Vietnamese words and this series so far has been very helpful.

I love the sounds of Vietnamese. The tones seem like the most difficult. Thanks for these videos 😁

I know a little bit of khmer and I love how southeast Asian language involves tones. Viet language is like a unique song in my head

Thank you so much for this video! My husband & I are taking a trip to Vietnam, and I've been looking for a video like this for awhile... this is the best one I've seen ❤

Lan always produce quality video lessons. I find that for the first three tones, it helps a lot by looking at Lan's mouth when she pronounced them. It has been hard for me to learn until I do that.

It's funny how much more I hear in this video now, more than a year after I saw it for the first time :)

This video gave me a much more thorough understanding of the tones and their differences from one another. Thank you very much!!!

I feel like I'm doing better than I should be. You are a very good teacher! And you just gained a new subscriber. Thanks!

Best tone explanation I’ve seen and heard. Thank you.

This beautiful teacher makes it so easy to lean Vietnamese ! She is amazing . and Insparing Teacher ! I MOST learn Vietnamese !!

Thank you so Much now i Can practice Vietnamese For my Friend.

thank you miss Lan its really help me a lot

totally agree! this teacher is so charming that herself make the lesson all of fun !! Thanks lord !

your explanation are just the greatest I've heard !

Keep it up with your with your clear and helpful videos

Thank you sooo much, I've spent the last few hours trying to understand how to pronunce these tones, I feel like in every video they are pronunced differently... so confusing! Thank you very much, subscribing to your channel instantly :)

You are very good at articulating the sounds of the tones. I have a much better understanding of how the tones sound and it’s not all that hard but takes practice. Thank you!

I have recently found a new love for Vietnam an Vietnamese folks, I had recently gotten into traditional Vietnamese music an folk songs that I have been listening to non stop an now i really wanna learn Vietnamese an get it good enough to where I could talk to people an listening to these songs an know what's being sung, so far sister you are a good teacher an easy to follow, I love this :)

Thanks Lan and the rest of the group for making videos tackling the most difficult part of the language which is the pronunciation, Cam on :)

Thanks girlie! This was wonderful.

4:40 last xe needs down rather than up tone. Your lessons help me out a lot. I have a private teacher and he confused me with tones. In less than 10 minutes, you taught me "tricks" to nail the tones without a lot of head scratching. Thank you.

this video is so clear‼ i wanted to learn the basics because i have a friend from vietnam and this is very helpful

as a vietnamese kid whose vietnamese immigrant parents never officially taught me vietnamese, this was very helpful! although my parents are southern vietnamese, so i could tell that we pronounce the last two times you mentioned differently, but i appreciate the content in this video a lot

I found this really easy for me as a Cantonese and mandarin speaker.

Soooooo much easier than I thought. I changed my mind now, and I'm going learn this language.

I was able to follow along well with the slow examples and very clear explanations. I also appreciate the very pleasant demeanor. Great lesson on the tones!

When watching this video, I realized that we use tone to convey meaning in non tonal languages too, it's just more subtle and layered on top of of the words. For example, in California we use the word "dude" to mean at least 5 different things, depending on tone. 😁

Wow this video explains the tones and their features really well! Best video I have seen and helped me understand straight away Cám ơn 😁

the way you have all 6 tones listed and read out one by one is how it should be for easier learning. Most videos that teach Vietnamese uses the "schooling" method: For example, "c, a, ca, sắc, cá" = c+a = ca [beginning result] + sắc (tone) = cá [end result], so it ends up being a formula when said, which takes a lot of time to comprehend. Therefore listing them one by one by repetition is an easier method to learn any language with tones. I learned Chinese that way. there's no names for the tones in Chinese just the number. But Vietnamese tones even though are a little similar to Chinese tones, they are still not the same. Born in south Vietnam, I believe southern Vietnamese accent is easier to learn than northern Vietnamese accent. Due to plenty of Chinese loanwords, sometimes the northern accent clues you in to the approximate sounds, so if you speak Chinese like me, you'll appreciate the fact some meanings can be correctly guessed via Chinese especially when a 2 syllable Vietnamese word is read out.

Thank you madam, I'm from India but I much interest in Vietnamese language to learn, plz keep going making ur videos

Outstanding and super helpful❤️💋🇻🇳!!!

Excellent video, am really finding these useful. Thanks so much.

Definitely a challenge. And a great teacher.

Thank you, the hardest tone to recognize is dầu hỏi, you've made me clear.

such a clear explanation, thank you!

The video are very good. I like how she show you how your mouth should be to form the letters. Her pronunciation is very clear

Short Version : It's really hard.

I've had quite some experience with Chinese, so most of the tones were easy, the broken tones are the only ones I struggle with not to a great extent, practice and listening should help. Thanks for this video! Help me make sure if I'm pronouncing right.

Thank you so much for this video, I was so lost. It makes a bit more sense now. 😀👍

This is the best video ive seen on this topic. Well organized and executed.

You are the best.....Flat, High, and long...understand this basic and I can figure out the other tones. Cam on

What a pleasure, thank you much.

this is the best explanation of the tones so far, thanks for this..

Brilliantly done. For such a difficult language. *plays this a few times

I just found my Vietnamese teacher.. Thank you very much Miss Lan... I hope you can wear Ao Dai in your videos too! :-D

Thanks soooooo much for the video!! I definitely love this! It clearly explained the enigma of dấu hỏi which I have struggled ever since I started learning Vietnamese. In some words such as bảy and phở , There have always been sensible discrepancies in terms of tones between the way of pronunciation I learned and the way they are actually pronounced...

Very good explanation! I really appreciate and understand !

You re so nice. I'm fascineted by vietnamese culture by listening Thay Nath Thich Hanh ♥️

Brilliant! Thank you so much 😊

I just started learning Vietnamese and this is the best explanation I have heard yet. Thank you!

It’s very helpful. thank you very much!

좋아요...감사합니다.

Oh my gosh. Thank you so much for this video. You saved my day. XD

You are so cute & thank you so much for this great video with great explanation. The tones still seem difficult but everything seems difficult until we put in a certain amount of practice. Gonna try my best, thanks again. 😊

THANK YOU! You are a marvelous instructor, so I've subscribed.

The videos from this channel are excellent.

Great video!!!! 🎉❤ Very clear and very helpful! Thank you so much❤️

You are a FANTASTIC teacher!!

Thank you so much! Cam on! I am thinking of teaching English in Vietnam so I am trying to learn the language

Thank you Lan, for this Lesson. To hit the tone exactly, is not that easy for non native speakers, but it’s essentially.

Good teacher, vietnamese is a bit tough language but lovely language, i will learn the language and will surely visit this lovely country and lovely people. God bless

You are so helpful and kind

This is the best explanation oc the tonrs that I've seen.

This video was so clear :) thank you

My sincere respect to every vietnamese person who speaks casually with all these tones...

Omg I finally think I'm getting it ~ Thank you so much

I kept getting stuck on that, thank you!
