I grew up in the states with my parents always saying thank you as “cám ơn”…..Only just recently last year did I realize we can also say “cảm ơn”…..I always find it confusing that in learning the Vietnamese language that there are so many ways of saying things 😅

Thanks for sharing! I'm generalising here, but I've noticed that Cảm is more common in the north and Cám is more common in the south. I tend to just say cảm actually.
The southern pronunciation of Ả is closer to Á compared to if a northerner say Ả and Á. I've seen some foreigners having trouble distinguishing the southern pronunciation of dấu hỏi and dấu sắc. I'll admit it's similar but you can definitely hear the difference though.

Hey, I haven't seen you and your buddy Troy hang around doing donation to the poor kids for awhile, last time I saw Troy went to Cambodia doing donation over there.
