      Since I am a male local English Tutor of my Asian friends, and I am just now beginning to learn Vietnamese, it is Very important to me to learn Vietnamese with male voice inflections and with natrually masculine tones. This teacher is the Best for me. She and I teach exactly alike...with the base of Strong, Accurate, Articulate Phonics. So, here is my question: To learn to speak Vietnamese Accurately and with my natural masculine-only manner, is learning from a woman going to sound right when I'm a Baritone singer? I'm Scientifically Analytical, and I'm ALL Man!

    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

    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 ^_^

    • @MinhNguyen-ff6xf
      @MinhNguyen-ff6xf 4 года назад +4

      So Connie I believe there’re similarities between Cantonese and Vietnamese since we’re not far from each other, and many Guangdong immigrants settled in Vietnam, especially Saigon to form the South today. In Saigon and Cho Lon, you may hear a lot of Cantonese/Teochew words that we use everyday: pò pía (vegetarian springrolls), pạc xỉu (light milk coffee with ice), lạp xưởng (Chinese sausage), mần thầu (mantoubao), bánh bao (dabao), xí quách (bones), há cảo (hakao dumplings), xủi cảo (suikao dumplings), mì hoành thánh (wonton mein), đại học (university), công ty (company), lộ (street), đô thị (urban), etc.

      Then you should know that in linguistics (the SCIENTIFIC study of language), Hong Kong Cantonese only has 6 REAL "tones" (Guangzhou Cantonese has 7). The 9 tone is pretty much an outdated, irrelevant & unscientific classification of tones.
      The first 3 Vietnamese tones are almost the same as the first 3 Cantonese tones. CREAKY is strictly a Hanoi thing LOL. The QUESTION is like an exaggerated 1st tone in Guangzhou Cantonese (difference between the noun 分 "high level flat" and the verb 分 "high level dropping" -- HK Cantonese does not differentiate the two). & the DOT is an abrupt low tone somewhat in between the 3rd & 6th tone in Cantonese.

    @trien30 7 лет назад +7

    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.

      Carl Saint As a Vietnamese DUOLINGO is a terrible app to learn Vietnamese from. Highly wouldn’t recommend it. The best way of learning Vietnamese is going to Vietnam or hiring a private Vietnamese tutor as self teaching yourself such a difficult tonal language can make you learn wrong things. In comparison to Japanese, Mandarin, Cantonese, Taiwanese, Shanghainese, Korean, Thai etc Vietnamese is the hardest to pronounce in fact unless your Viet, you’ll never really be able to speak as a native. This is why a Vietnamese has very little difficulty in learning the accents from the languages mentioned above.

    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. 😁

    • @scd6969
      @scd6969 6 лет назад +28

      Somi, the best way to learn vietnamese is to focus first on pronouncing the tones, vowels and consonants first, before vocabulary and grammar. Because the latter two requires use of words. If you don't say the words right the first time and practice grammar and vocabulary using the wrong pronunciations, it will be very, very, very difficult to correct later once you've gained fluency.

    • @swab8857
      @swab8857 6 лет назад +18

      Linh Trần Văn she is using the northern accent so that's why it is dất intead of rất in terms of pronouncing it. Northern accent uses many pronunciations with z sounds. So she is pronouncing it correctly. Also most people on youtube will teach the northern accent more.

Mispronouncing can easily be calling someone's mother an ugly dog by mistake!!!!

    There is a small mistake at 4.27. With "xe - xé - xè", they have the picture of the last one as a repeated acute accent (dấu sắc
    ), rather than a grave accent (dấu huyền), which is what it should be. I am just trying to be helpful. Sorry. I am a learner and the tones are difficult to get right. This video is very good for that purpose.

      Hi Rado. I recognize you you're a very hard working learner on our facebook page :) Thanks for following and supporting us the past time.
      For your question, Down tone and Question tone are similar because they both go down at the end, that's why it can be confusing sometimes. However, for Dau hoi you go up before going down, and Dau huyen you just go down straight and slowly. That makes Dau huyen sound longer and smoother than Dau hoi.
      Hope that helps :)

    At 5:55, I didn't realize before that the "question mark" tone is pronounced differently in the North (up, then down) than in the South (down, then up). You also say in the South the broken tone is "very similar" to the question mark tone, but I thought the South simply did away with the broken tone (i.e., for words that had the broken tone they used the question mark tone instead), such that the South only has 5 tones(?)

    • @JaydenTuNguyen
      @JaydenTuNguyen 5 лет назад

      Well, The Southern Vietnamese accent pronouns broken tone ~ and question tone ? are similar, so people from South use question tone for broken tone too.
      We pronounce ? instead of ~.

    The no tone in Vietnamese sound like the Mandarin first tone ā. The second tone in Vietnamese also sounds like the second tone in Mandarin á. The third and fifth tone in Vietnamese is similar to Mandarin's fourth tone à. The fourth and sixth tone in Vietnamese sound like Mandarin's third tone ǎ, however the difference is that in Mandarin there is no broken thing so it just goes down then up a bit. It is also low.
