When I was last in Vietnam, I didn't have time to learn much of the language, but now I must learn as fast as possible for my return soon. This is very helpful to see and hear the words.

Thank you Van for showing us how to say some of these word's in Vietnamese. You always do such a professional job in all of your videos.

So helpful! Such an awesome opportunity to learn pronunciation as well as the names and their meanings!

Your southern accent is so cute!

Thanks dear. Surely one of your best videos !!! 🤗♥️🇻🇳

Your dot sound effects with the fist are awesome. Talk about a learning aid. I will picture you doing this anytime I hear a word or see it written! 😉 Well done! 😀

Very impressive, this research video is qualified for the phd dissertation.

Beautiful, graceful, intelligent and very cute!

This is the video I need !!! THANK YOU !!!

14:32 Like "Phúc Mâp". 😉👍

Thanks Van for sharing how to pronounce some of the differences between Northern and Southern.😊👍👍💐💐

Very cool to learn how to pronuce Vietnamese Names!

I’d be very grateful to meet somebody named “Mai” as it’s the easiest name to pronounce!

That's ridiculous. She's describing the Vietnamese language. There's nothing foul here except in your mind.

Literally laughed out loud at that video thumb image! 🤣Seriously though this is very helpful for me. I was just in HCMC for a week this month and met a very nice woman there whom I've been corresponding with every day since and we help each other with English and Vietnamese. So this is useful as I do struggle with pronunciations.

I was joining you in pronouncing these name. Good for me since I am American living in Thu Duc City. Thank you!

A lot of work must go into these videos, thank you for the insight.

I am surprised with your southern accent. Great job

Vân đọc giọng SG nghe dth ghê 😊

Thanks Van. I was pronouncing them along with you. I found it helpful in my continuing efforts to pronounce your lovely language ! It is my first tonal language and I struggle quite a bit ! You are very clear in your help ! Thanks again !! 😅😀

This is so very useful. Thank you for making the video.

Your vids are always so professionally presented. You must work so hard on them. I am coming closer to fulfilling my dream towards the possibility in relocating to Vietnam in-so-far as I have just taken up a job which requires me to work 4 weeks on and 4 weeks off. I intend to spend the 4 weeks off researching where I want to spend most of my time. Toward that end I have downloaded your book which is equally well presented

Thanks a million! I needed that badly!!

More, please! This is so excellent. I can't find a local Vietnamese language class.

liking the new intro.. finally I made it to SGN... maybe see ya around town?! Names and learning Vietnamese in general is a great journey! thanks for the pronunciation lesson!!

Ms. Van, I could watch you all day you are so lovely. Thank you for the information.

Absolutely fascinating 🎉❤ Thank you Van for sharing this list vocabulary. I really enjoyed I watch lots of Vietnamese movies “Passionate of Dance” and “Taxi What is your name” are 2 of my favorite: comedy, Romance, and twists

Mong chờ chị ra vídeo ạ. Ủng hộ chị nhiều lắm

Thank you!

I found this, very interesting information, even for me a Vietnamese, living in the US many years.❤❤❤❤

Ils Always interesting to know how to pronounce words/names,and was well thought of putting northern and southern because has different sound like ao daí on north and south is pronounced differently. Really nice video

Thank you for showing all these Names in nothern and southern dialect. I've been to Vietnam one month ago and I was concentrating on learning northern dialact phrases. I've konwn that there are many differences between the dialects before I travelled to Vietnam, but I thought they will understand the northern dialect in the south as well. But often they didn't understand what I try to say. For example r = s in the north, but r = could be something sounds like "our r"

Vân nói giọng miền nam dể thương quá.

Ha ha ha I love the video title!! Warmest wishes from London.

Been studying Vietnamese for 5 years and there was no mention about these tones... This is good to know :)

Thank you so much!

especially the 6 different tones

So, I started with Qua^n Tra^ , but it was too much work to correct BOTH the first name and last name. So, I dropped accent marks for both. And my names rhyme to boot, lol, Quan Tran. I tell people, quan like quantity, tran like transportation.

Phuc Dat Bich LOL 😆😆

This could be the BEST title for a KZread video (in the history of all KZread videos). Well done! 😂

I have been trying to learn Vietnamese on and off for over 50 years. Just because you pronounce 100 names correctly doesn't mean I will remember or be able to do it myself. Some people have no talent for language

Clever, very clever

i realized it's just cantonese. if i think about it. Cuz all the names used to be cantonese/ancient chinese.

Restaurant here in Canada closed. Since it was called, Pho Bich Nga lol

Video hay nhất từ trước tới giờ của em. 🎉.

Hi Van , thank you so much for your beautiful insite into your wonderful country . Myself and Sally -Ann will land at SGN on the 12 April , only 2 weeks but we are going south to north . Ho Chi Minh , Hoi Ann , visit to My Lai then to your home city . We can’t wait . From Pete n Sally in UK🇻🇳🇬🇧👍🏻

Haha that video thumbnail cracked me up lol The language is super offensively funny😂

In Vietnam I learned some basics off a Northern speaker video and I was amazed at how differently the pronunciation was even in Hue.. Rat vui as in very much sounds totally different in Hue… fascinating country and you just have to visit., I got discounts in restaurants when I tried to speak Vietnamese and some phrases actually worked😊

Been listening to my grandma speak Vietnamese for years but I never really understood the tones until now…😂😂

I STILL LIKE VIETNAMESE MUSIC... BECAUSE THEY GOT SOME HIP TUNES AND IT PURE...EVEN FROM GRANDMA

I can hear you are a "northern gal"! You speak so beautifully!

Chào em gái Vân nhé, xem em dạy học tiếng Anh hay và dễ thương 👍💖

Hi Vân, thank you for your video, because pronouncing of first name correctly is essential in Vietnam because you don't address people by their last name but by their first name. And thanks to your 27 years of experience with Vietnamese, you can also tell the difference between pronunciation in the North and the South. By way of thank you, I have 40 years of experience in teaching and developing teaching materials, so I would like to give something back. What you can assume when you make a video about pronouncing Vietnamese names is that the viewer has at least heard a few hundred times that Vietnamese has 6 tones, with which diacritics they are interpreted and how they are pronounced. So you could have easily left out that part, and instead you could have watched the beginning of your video again, because there you give the exact example with your own name of why the pronunciation of Vietnamese is so difficult. Because it turns out: the wrong pronunciation has nothing to do with the tones but with how you pronounce the [a]. In my video "Why don't they understand my Vietnamese?" I explain that Vietnamese has more than 30 vowels, but the Latin alphabet only has 6. With the help of a few diacritics and some combination options you can get a bit further, but there are still a lot of vowel sounds left that do not correspond to any can be expressed in writing in some way. The mispronunciation of Vietnamese words is mainly due to the inability to distinguish or produce these sounds, those few tones are not really the problem, after all, we also use them in English ... but then they are not indicated. In short, a good introduction to how to pronounce the vowels would have been a lot more interesting than yet another tone repetition. By the way, in my video I say that ten minutes of attention for the tones is more than enough, and you did a great job in I believe 1 minute.

I'm watching this video just so I could give you the thumbs up. 🤗

ITS ON EVERY COMMERCIAL...EVERY AD ...ITS EVERYWHERE

Did she really say that? hahaha

cam on!!!

Great share

Im confused because my family is from Central Vietnam 😂😂😂. This is very informative. I'm picturing all the people I know with these names and meaning associated with them 😆. Never knew it meant all this.

Thanks, still trying with my deep baritone voice.

i think if you want to learn how to pronounce these names you should look up the vowels and the consonant clusters because they are what are not pronounced as an english (or most roman alphabet languages) would expect. for example knowing if a word ends in "ong" or "ung" /ng/ will come out [m]

Chau is also a continent.

Yes , Châu has 2 meaning but here she talking about names , so what she said is corrected

I can't wait to hear these names in Hue accent or Hoi An accent. Would you do that one day .

Does anyone know what video it was where Van Vu taught us pronunciation in Vietnamese ie Mạ, Má and so on ? 🙏

Had to watch this once i saw the words. I already know how to say them, but still funny.

Cảm ơn bạn video rất thú vị chúc kênh ngày càng phát triển
