- I'm mexican living in Vietnam and when I first got to Vietnam, I was scared because of the language.
Many people spoke to me in Vietnamese because they thought and they said I looked like Vietnamese. I was feeling very upset and I decided that I needed to learn Vietnamese to solve the problem.
The surprise was that Vietnamese wasn't only about many accents, It was about pronunciation and ages as well.
I only know basic words but I'm trying very hard to be able to speak very soon. This is my progress being living in Vietnam for a month.
What do you think? Are you learning Vietnamese as well? Do you struggle like me?

Love (yêu) used for couple in relationship, thương (love) for parent, children, and siblings relationship, or very very closed friends (not often).
Come on now, not true at all. People use YEU and THUONG the way they want. Stop putting rules where there are none.
@@voutoo7899 I’m Vietnamese and I would never used the word “yêu” to describe the affection you have toward a friend. It’s not wrong but rarely used(with friends) and it’s very awkward and will probably result in misunderstandings of some sort.
@@aureakia177 I was just kidding, I know what you mean, it is indeed awkward.
wrong, stop teaching others when u dont know how the language works
HAHA, chị nói tiếng Việt dễ hiễu :D
Modern Vietnamese is like a combination between pronounce of old Chinese and using modern Latin alphabets. Over one thousand years ago, Vietnam use syllabling and wrtiting of Hanzi, like Chinese Mandarin now. But after five hundred years Vietnam created their own language which called Nom language. But Nom language too hard and not popular for normal people. In 1800 France came to Vietnam and they converted pronunciation of Vietnamese to writing of writing Latinh, it was easy than writing of Hanzi or Nom language, but France still tought French in all school at this time because it was not perfect language to using. In 1900 Vietnamese goverment innovated and agreed using language for all country and called Quoc Ngu. Till now modern Vietnamese (Quoc Ngu) is the most popular in vietnam today.

Tiếng Việt hiện đại giống như sự kết hợp giữa tiếng Trung Quốc cổ với chữ cái Latinh hiện đại. Hơn một nghìn năm trước Việt Nam sử dụng phát âm và chữ viết Hán tự giống như tiếng Trung Quốc bây giờ. Nhưng khoảng năm trăm năm sau Việt Nam đã tạo ra hệ thống chữ viết riêng gọi là tiếng Nôm. Nhưng tiếng Nôm khá khó học và không được phổ biến cho mọi người. Khoảng năm 1800 Pháp đến Việt Nam và họ đã chuyển đổi phát âm tiếng Việt sang hệ thống chữ viết bằng Latinh, dễ dàng hơn so với chứ viết Hán tự và Nôm, nhưng Pháp vẫn dạy tiếng Pháp ở tất cả các trường học thời đó bởi vì chữ Viết Latinh trong tiếng Việt không thực sự hoàn hảo để sử dụng. Khoảng năm 1900 chính phủ Việt Nam thời đó đã thống nhất và đổi mới hệ thống ngôn ngữ cho cả nước gọi là Quốc Ngữ. Cho đến bây giờ tiếng Việt hiện đại (Quốc Ngữ) là ngôn ngữ chính phổ biến nhất được sử dụng ở Việt Nam.

Sorry if my English or Vietnamese is not good :)
This is why I settled for learning Japanese. Everyone I know thinks Japanese is the most difficult to learn, but after visiting Vietnam and trying to learn some of the language, every other language I had tried in the past suddenly seemed so simple.
I agree! Im a vietnamese-american (parents are vietnamese born and raised in america) and its still difficult for me to pronounce vietnamese words sometimes. But now I find it easier to pronounce other asian languages like japanese and mandarin since you have to learn to maneuver and speak multiple tones when speaking vietnamese.
Japanese not difficult only writing is difficult
It's all about the tones. Japanese has no tones, and you can write in all hiragana or with minimum kanji.
How about Mandarin compared to Vietnamese?
Korean language is hard to learn
You must be kidding! You've just started learning, I presume, yet your pronunciation is really really good and totally understandable. So much better than many starters out there! Welcome to Hanoi! :)
Thank you. I've been learning for a month and I feel like I'm stucked now (my brain gets more and more confused). Thank you very much.
@@LaKarencitaMX I think it's all like that for all languages out there. Keep pushing through and you'll get much much better in no time! The tones and vocabulary may be challenging at first, but the grammar is piece of cake, eg. no verb conjugation.
It's a tonal language that's why it's difficult. One has to practice hearing it, speaking it, that's the only way to learn it I think.
kinda right, Thai is tonal but waaay easier to speak than Vietnamese.
Tonal is not what makes it difficult. It's also the addressing and customs. The tonal part may be influence by Chinese mixing
Just understand that being tonal is one thing but the amount of tones are another. Mandarin Chinese or Butonghua has only four tones. Ascending, descending, wave and flat. Vietnamese has six tones.
Mastering the Vietnamese language is for geniuses with high IQ's! :-D
Vietnamese is easy when you're vietnamese
Du ma
Tones seem to be very difficult for a native Mexican speaker , try mandarin with it's tones . Just as difficult
I'll be more than welcome to teach you Vietnamese if you can teach me Spanish!🤗
I just had my first class yesterday 🤦🏽♀️ I feel like a complete failure but it’s fun learning and hopefully it will help me in my journey there.
You are doing a great job speaking vietnamese :)
Creo q aprender cualquier idioma es interesante ya sea q nos ayuden en algún momento de nuestra vida o simplemente por cultura. Así q aprovecha al máximo has de ser padrísimo aprender una nueva cultura. Saludos
Your pronunciation is good Karen, you already picked up the Norther accent which is the best accent in the Vietnamese language. I hope you're enjoying living in my motherland. We like Mexican people here because you guys have a fun, outgoing and positive personality just like us Vietnamese.
Lol, I can't believe you said "lon"
Disagree, Souther accent is typically the easiest for foreigner to pick up plus it sounds better in my opinion.
You're so bias haha. It's not the best accent in vietnam
Oh Karen! My word. That seems so hard. I remember you laughing at my very bad Spanish. When I was so proud to say in Soanish. Apples and I am a woman . (Davud laughing and saying that will be very useful when you come here). Im so glad you have made a good friend in Lam and you are having fun learning together.
At least you had a good pronunciation because I understood. Lam is very patient and is always trying to help.
I have now a friend 🙂
Hope you feel better now.
well.. mexican spanish is also a tonal language xd
I’m Vietnam so I know how to say Vietnam language
the Vietnamese language has an average degree of difficulty, but the biggest problem is that there are no really good courses for foreigners who want to learn Vietnamese.
Not surprising because the Vietnamese had more important work to do, such as rebuilding the country and the number of people who want to learn Vietnamese is limited.
An additional problem is that anyone who can speak Vietnamese believes that they can also teach in it.
In general they start with the pronunciation and that is completely wrong, is like building a house and starting with the roof.
Subsequently, young people mainly want to practice English with you and practicing your Vietnamese is very difficult. My Vietnamese is very limited but the people around here understand it well. Other Vietnamese look at my Vietnamese friends and ask them what I say. If my friends understand, they should be able to understand it, after all, the Vietnamese themselves all speak a different Vietnamese.
Pronunciation is really important though. How are you supposed to learn different words that are written the same but have different meanings?
grammar is easy but learning the pronunciation will make you feel like your vocal cords evolved.
@@phu0n9c4yj we learn to distinguish and to produce the sounds of our mother tongue during the first three years of our life, the next three years we learn the exact meaning of the words and sounds.
It is technically impossible to learn to distinguish or to produce a language that is not close to our own native language in just some months or years. To speak like a local will take you around 10 year ...and then you will sound as local as long as people do not see you. When we see a foreigner speaking our mother tongue we presume that the foreigner will not speak it well and no matter how good the foreigner speaks it...it will never sound as a local.
Nevertheless, pronunciation is very important, as the roof of a house..also very important but you do not start with the roof. So you first start with the grammar. The Vietnamese grammar is quite complrx due to the hidden problems, once you know them it is more easy to understand the grammar. Sadly most Vietnamese do not know those problems, they learned Vietnamese the first years of their life...without any grammar.
@@ybor20
what are you saying? xD
grammar is like a common frame, set of rules for writing and speaking. what types of hidden problems you talking about? if they are hidden, I think its more of writing techniques, styles, that ppl dont often use for speaking and communication rather than classifying it as grammar.
@@phu0n9c4yj it is very simple but also very complex, however not for Vietnamese because they learned their language the first years.
The contemporary Vietnamese language is using the alphabetic writing. But the alphabetic writing has its typical audio based grammar, The problem is that the Vietnamese language has a visual based logographic grammar and those two types of grammar are completely different.
For foreigners who are used to the alphabetic grammar , thy assume that Vietnamese has the sae grammar ut it hasn't.
And that is only a small part of the hidden problems...
more than half of the Vietnamese words are Sino-Vietnamese. They have a Chinese background and those words sometimrs follow the Vietnamese grammar, sometimes they don't and they follow the Chinese grammar. However, Sino-Vietnamese is a global term, it is more complex. There are the Chinese words from the Han-time and they follow another grammar than the later Chinese words. Then there are the loanwords from the Han-time. Some of those loanwords are original Vietnamese and some of those words follow the original Vietnamese grammar, other don't..
And this is the easy part of the hidden problems...
Hi. I'm Vietnamese ❤
your channel is pretty good for learning Vietnamese
Bạn nói tiếng Việt như người Việt mới học nói tiếng Tây Ban Nha
Si que es difícil el idioma.cuidate Karencita
Muchas gracias Tere. Es difícil pero no hay de otra. Siempre me andan confundiendo y ahora siento la presión de aprender jaja. Cuidate tú también

Madre santa!! Todo cambia con la entonación!! O sea que puedes pasar de un cumplidos a una groseria o algo asi 🤔 Jaja que estres
Si. Puedes saber las palabras pero si pronuncias mal, ya valió
I mean vietnamese languages is made just for vietnamese people who know exactly what each word sound like and can creative or alternative the way to say it
Jajajaja por cierto vietnamita es mas difficil idioma en todo el mundo ,espanol y ingles mas facile verdad , no probas estudiarlo porque puedo se acabo con tu cabeza :))))
Bun chà somehow became uống trà
So first I need to ask people their age before saying hello. Got it.
The most difficult is English
El Vietnamita no es difícil cuando lo practicas. Saludos
Hola! I'm a Viet learning Spanish. Cómo estás?
Te extraño, te quiero
Yo también te quiero. Cuidate mucho
Vietnamese language is not difficulty as when you compare that to another language in Asia - like Thai Land ; Malaysia , Indonesia and so on.. . Because we have the alphabet like France - English and Spanish . Thanks
Yeah but u can't pronounce it then what's the point
You speak good Vietnamese
6:11 in Spanish that's not a bad word hahahaha. Good video.
El chinanteco es el idioma más difícil. Con 18 variantes tonales.
What? En que país se habla ese idioma?
Karen puedes hacer algunos videos sobre la comida Vietnamese no se que comer?? Pero no puede tener puerco.
Ya no estoy allá pero sí hice un video así: ua-cam.com/video/V4UruIgKCJs/v-deo.html
Muy bien Karen! I only know 2 words in Vietnamese, but I dont know how to write them, one of them is the word for "pain."
Pain is dao.
@@ThinhTran-wy6vc Thank you! My Vietnamese vocabulary is improving, I know 5 words so far hahaa
@@Kccaro999 that's okay! Just take your time and learn at your own pace. If you wanna get serious with learning Vietnamese, you should check out more Vietnamese for beginner videos. Just learn a few words or phrase per day and try to use them in a sentence, just talking out loud to yourself at home. You will be surprised at how quickly you will start to pick things up in the language.
@@ThinhTran-wy6vc thank you for your encouragement!
pain is not "dao", pain is đau
Great video!
Thank you! 🙂
Gracias por el video karen me encantó ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Gracias a ti por verlo 🙂
@@LaKarencitaMX 💖💖💖
i believe chinese will be more difficult than this language. as chinese have 4 tone of sounds and stroke of words.
the reason makes Chinese become to the most difficult is the characters, for the tone Vietnamese has more tones, and the grammar is also more difficult, for vocabulary it's mixed of traditional Vietnamese, Chinese (middle age and pronounce by Vietnamese way, it's called Han-Viet, you have to know what it means into traditional Vietnamese ), Eng and French (pronounce by Vietnamese way), also just for subject we have thousand way to say "me" depending on your level, if you are an aunt you say other way but if you are an uncle, it is the other way,..
For Vietnamese, learning Chinese is quite easy. It is only difficult in the writing because Chinese Characters is complicated
No.. Chinese is damn easy compared to this
Mastering the Vietnamese language is for geniuses with high IQ's! :-D
No language called Chinese language because in China have so many languages that’s spoken by so many different peoples!!!
