Shopping in Vietnam is “awesome” on so many levels. 

And while it may sound obvious -  knowing some phrases or a few words in Vietnamese can really make the experience even more fun.

In this episode ( part 3) Ms Ha and I expand on the ‘game” of shopping or bartering, as Ha gives us some keys words to use to help you get the item you want, at the best price.

Because lets face it. That's what we want, right? 

A Video here of Ms Ha as she takes us around the markets - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_qRIQSkydc
My thanks to www.hoiannow.com for their ongoing support of this podcast.

This is the last in the 3 part series on language as we have covered “Greetings” in part 1, “Dietary requirements” in part 2, and in this one we finish it off where you will learn some of the artistic language skills to use when “Shopping”.
Simple phrases like - What is the “best price”?.  “Too much” !

This is one of the most popular in the series.

Shopping is such a fun and rewarding thing to do in Vietnam as while it has all your major brands in the big cities, you will be pleasantly surprised to see many artisans and designer boutiques offering up all kinds of goods, including homewares, jewellery, and leather made products you  won’t find anywhere else for the price. 

High fashion sits along side the quintessential markets, where there's always a bargain to be had.

Even if you don’t like shopping, the markets is a must to visit as this is where the heart and soul of the people lives. See locals bargain, share gossip, laugh and enjoy the whole experience. It makes shopping in a supermarket look very boring.

You will love this final episode with Ms Ha, as it is a nice quick one and easy to follow.

My thanks to Ms Ha again for her patience and wonderful skills in making the learning of Vietnamese so easy.

The transcript provided here on the website – www.whataboutvietnam.com will provide you the words covered in each episode; the actual Vietnamese spelling, meaning and phonetic pronunciation as I have interpreted it to be. 

It might prove handy to print off before you go.

I apologise in advance if I don’t cover off the all the words you wou
