Cô giáo có cho bạn biết: ia nờ = iên hăy IAn = IÊn ? Tương tự, ia ngờ = iêng, hăy IAng = IÊng, Tiếng Việt = TíaNG VịaT. .... kw = cw = qu (w=uơ, uờ là phần cuối của âm u. k + w = c + w = c + uờ = qu) .... Âm /to/ khi khéo dài hoặc nói thật chậm sẽ nghe thấy 2 âm: to, oooo . Âm /hoa/ khi kéo dài hoặc nói thật chậm sẽ nghe thấy 3 âm: hoa, oa, a. (Tiáng Viạt (Tiếng Việt) không có quy tắc ráp vần , thực chất là THÔNG CHUYỂN KHẨU HÌNH ÂM (giữa 2 khẩu hình âm là 1 khẩu hình âm: giữa âm i và âm ê là âm ia (khi khẩu hình đang ở âm i thì phát âm ê sẽ sinh ra âm ia, nên iê=ia, iêN=iaN, hiên=hian. Tưang tự, ươ=ưa, uô=ưa....). Và tiếng Việt không phải tiếng đơn âm mà là NHIỀU LỚP ÂM LIÊN TIẾP: phiên âm đầy đủ của từ hoa là /hoa, oa, a/, đã là /đã, ã, a/...không phải chỉ có 1 âm đâu) Một số khác, nên thêm ký hiệu w vào tiếng Việt sẽ giải quyết đươc nhiêu vấn đề (w = uơ, uờ gần giống /w/ của tiếng Anh nhưng đặt ở cửa miệng (front sound) hay nó chính là phần đuôi của âm u khi kéo dài hay khi nói u bạn đưa cằm lên rồi hạ xuống sẽ nghe thấy âm w (uơ, uờ) rõ hơn): Âm h trong từ ha thì phát là hờ, nhưng trong từ hoa sẽ phát là hw (huơ, huờ): hoa = hwa, wa = oa, wang = oang, uy = wy = wi, hwang=hoang. Uyên=wyên=wian (do yên hăy iên = ian). TưaNG tự với l, ng, b...có thể phát thành lw, ngw, bw trong lua, ngoa, boa thành lwua, ngwa, bwua. Tiếng Việt (Tiáng Viạt) có trên 50 âm mới đầy đủ. Người Việt học tiếng Việt dễ vì hầu hết họ biết nói trước khi biết đọc, viết. Học sinh đến lớp chỉ cần nhớ mặt chữ cái rồi ghép cho đúng âm là xong dù họ không hiểu bản chất tạo âm của tiếng Việt. Nhưng với người ngoài nước và người dân tộc thiểu số thì rất khó học theo theo kiểu ráp vần. (Học như con VẸT). Về ngữ pháp, 'hầu như không có ngữ pháp' tiếng Việt, như 1 người Anh đã nói. - đẹp người đẹp nết = người đẹp tính tốt. - cao điểm đồi A1 = điển cao đồi A1. - ....

Completely agree. This is my fourth time watching this video lol

Yep I find it harder than Japanese

Wow, I've been able to understand your Vietnamese :Đ Tôi là người Nga và cũng học tiếng Việt.

Just a tip, "các bạn" is used when talking to a group of people. "Các" is a particle which turns a word to a plural. Tôi là người Trung và cũng đang học tiếng Viết vì tôi có bạn bề Việt Nam. Tôi cũng học tiếng Indonesia và tiếng Trung. Tôi rất thích tiếng Việt. I understand you as well (tôi cũng hiểu bạn).

Yeah your English is great! Very clear explanations 😊

Vl cái hình n...!

@@anhmongco3659 что бы это ни значило, лучше выражаться на языке, понятном получателю информации, т к именно это обычно и является целью коммуникации, не так ли?

Iya karna ada bbrpa yg mirip bhs indo ya kan? sprti u dan ô. ( Im from France and Viet is so different from French haha ) Semangat!

Thank you for this beautiful lecture. I wish to ask the difference between the /e/ and the /ê/ sounds.

Very helpful when u put it like that!

this is both standard of northern and southern accents. The differenced between the two accents is consonants, not vowels

No, it is totally [a], just some regions in central pronounce [ae] for a

Hi, Many students have said to me that the vowel "a" in Vietnamese sounds like the vowel in "bad", but when pronounce "a" as in "bad", it sounds very foreign for me, as it is too much like "e" (as in "pen"). So I think it is better for you to pronounce that vowel like in "bar" but a little wider. The air flow has nothing to do here, it is just because I don't control my voice well.

Thanks for your reply. I have been thinking about this all day. I understand what you mean when you say "pen" is like "bad". When I say "am" (with my Australian accent) the sound seems closer to your sound. I was playing games saying "am" and "arm" then listening to you. I came to the conclusion that the Vietnamese sound is in the middle. I noticed some Vietnamese speakers sound closer to "arm" and others closer to "am". Easy to find examples were Việt Nam (Vietnam) and là (verb to be). I will have to practice following you many times. Like you said in a comment below we tend to transfer our native patterns but if we do that we will always sound like Foreigners. When I speak Thai I try to be like a Thai twin brother and not use my native sounds. It is hard to do but it is easier for people to understand. I studied Vietnamese pronunciation everyday this week without learning any words. Today I had a chance to look at more of your videos. You have done a really great job. Very clear explanations. Thanks sooooo much. You are a very kind person.

Hi EpiScintilate. Were you able to conquer these sounds? I've made a video for myself on my phone from Annie's multiple videos covering vowels in all their forms (single, dipthongs, combos, ... ) to play these sounds close together and listen to over and over. It's the only way to retrain my ear. At first they all sound so similar, but after listening to over and over, I can ear the difference. I also do it more like a baby would learn their native language. Because it's so hard for me to hear the difference, I limit my "teachers" to a one or two at the most. Just like how a baby spends most of their time around their parents. I've found that my in-laws speak Vietnamese with their own "accents" even though they are from Vietnam. In the US lots of people speak English differently. Eventually after I've gotten more of the sounds down, I then add other things or people in. But until then, I don't because I get too frustrated and want to give up. I hope this helps. Everyone has different ways of learning. This is mine and so far it is really helping. Especially since Annie breaks things down so wonderful. My brain really likes that. She is an amazing teach to explain her language so simply and elegantly.

Hi, I think the difference you heard between "ba three" and "bà grandmother" is because of the tone ` on "bà". With this tone you should lower your voice while extending the sound. That's why "The sound isn't as strong or harsh as the 'a' in ba (three)" like you said.

The 'a' sound in 'bad' is clearly an 'ê'

ao in vietnamese pronounced like pound in english au pronounced like au revoir (french)

au in french is a monophthong, but au in VN is a diphthong

I'm vietnamese .both are the same

T Kiet no, they don’t.

@@kietdcdhbk it's not the same, try to read the words sau & sao, cáu & cáo, báo & báu. it's completely different. i doubt you are not vietnamese

a is pronounced like in far, bar, father (but shorter) ă is pronounced like in sun â is pronounced rather like (not exactly) a in appear ơ is pronounced like in fur (but shorter)

ê is actually similar to the French é in école, and e similar to the French è in mère. Plz keep in mind that this kind of romanization was initially done by French missionaries several hundreds years ago.

@@user-og1nu5pb8c That is helpful! Thanks!

What the hell?!

u pronounced exactly like u in push, book,.. ư doesnt exist in english. However, you can consult the pronunciation on wikipedia. It is close central unrounded vowel

u as in zoo . ư as in book.

Chris D U is oo The ment in comment and nion in opinion have the Ư sound, it will make more sense if I use the Vietnamese spelling.
