  • Vietnamese Lesson 6- Cardinal & Ordinal Numbers; Dates

    Ex1: Write these numbers in Vietnamese
    5325 Năm ngàn ba trăm hai mươi lăm
    69999 Sáu mươi chín ngàn chín trăm chín mươi chín
    123021 Một trăm hai mươi ba ngàn không trăm hai mươi mốt
    404404 Bốn trăm lẻ bốn ngàn bốn trăm lẻ bốn
    Ex2: These are the numbers you heard.
    272220
    120556
    385724
    Note: In spoken Vietnamese, mươi/ ngàn is generally reduced.
    E.g.: Ba trăm hai mươi lăm could be shortened to ba trăm hai lăm.
    Correction: I intended to say this number-900001 (chín trăm ngàn không trăm lẻ một)-in one of the complicated examples. But somehow I said 900901 (chín trăm ngàn chín trăm lẻ một) instead. I apologize for this mistake.

    Notes: ngh and gh are pronounced like ng and g respectively. They along with K can only go with i, e, ê and their combinations. K can also go with Y.

    Examples of placing an accent: Sài Gòn, người Việt Nam, đường

  • Vietnamese lesson 2: Consonants

    There are 17 consonants in total in the Vietnamese alphabet. They are B, C, D, Đ, G, H, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, S, T, V, X
    For Southerners, we pronounce X and S the same way as xờ. So as to tell them apart when it comes to writing, we use xờ xe for X and xờ sẻ for S.
    Children are taught to use Bờ for B and Bê for P.
    From now on, I’ll use B bê for B and B phở for P.
    Some common phrases:
    XIN CHAO: hello
    LAM ƠN/ VUI LONG: please
    XIN LÔI: sorry/ excuse me
    CAM ƠN: thank you
    XIN CHIA BUÔN: condolences
    CHUC MƯNG SINH NHÂT: happy birthday
    CHUC MƯNG NĂM MƠI: happy new year
    TUÂN SAU GĂP LAI: see you next week
    As for how to say these phrases, come and listen to me on the next episodes.
