If you only have less than 15 minutes to learn basic Vietnamese,

this video is for you.

Hi everyone, it's Vân and I'm from Vietnam.

Today, I'm gonna teach you basic Vietnamese words and phrases so that you can use to greet people,

order the right food, or ask for direction and price while traveling to Vietnam.

And don't forget to watch until the end because I have an announcement to make.

First of all, to impress Vietnamese,

you need to learn how to count.

And now, I'm gonna show you an easy way to remember from 1 to 10.

So see what I do and repeat after me.

Number 1 in Vietnamese is Một.

Một is like a code but with an M.

So it's like You should do it with me because we're gonna learn through gesture.

Number 2 in Vietnamese is Hai.

Hai is like when you say hi to somebody.

Hai.

number three is ba ba is like bar but without rolling your tongue

so it's ba to remember it you would do this like you cheer

when you go to the bar ba ba number four is is bốn.

Bốn is like your bone but with your tone up.

So is bốn.

Bốn.

Number five is nam.

Nam is like numb, like your hand is numb.

Nam.

Number six is sáu.

Sáu sounds like sour but with your tone up.

So it's sáu, sáu.

Number 7 is bảy, bảy is like bài,

so bài, but with a question mark, so it's bảy, bảy.

Number 8 is tám, tám is like time,

but with your tone up, so it's tám, tám.

Number 9 in Vietnamese is Chin Chin is like chin,

your chin, but with your tone up.

So it's Chin Chin Last but not least,

number 10 is Mười Mười is like a moo sound,

but with a smile.

So it's Mười Mười Okay, let's review.

Một Hai Ba 4, 5,

6, 7, 8, 9, 10.

Okay, good job everyone!

Well done!

Now you know how to count from 1 to 10.

To say hello in Vietnamese,

you would say xin chào.

It's like you've seen a chào chào,

like a dog and you say hello to it

so it's sinh chào chào here is not chào is chào with your tone down

so it's sinh chào sinh chào sinh chào thank you in vietnamese is cam on it's like you come

and earn something so you would say thank you cam on you shouldn't roll your tongue

when you say earn is simply just earn so it's cam if you want to say you're welcome you say

now let's review it in northern and southern accent cam ơn.

Không có gì.

Không có chi.

To say sorry in Vietnamese, you'll say xin lỗi.

It's like you've seen a guy named Roy but with an L,

so you would say sorry.

Xin lỗi.

That means you apologize for mispronouncing his name.

Xin lỗi.

If you want to say no problem,

you would say không sao.

Alright, let's review.

Xin lỗi.

Không sao.

Okay, let's review how you would greet in Vietnamese.

How do you say hello?

Xin chào.

How about sorry?

Xin lỗi.

How about thank you?

Cảm ơn.

Well done.

when you need to ask for the price how much is it you would say bao new tian

it's like you bow for new tins but tins here has longer e and you pronounce the t lighter so it's

tiền bao nhiêu tiền bao nhiêu tiền bao nhiêu tiền bao nhiêu tiền bao nhiêu tiền

if you want to pay you're gonna say tính tiền imagine

now you need to pay for a ton of tins

that you just bought so it's ton tiền right now is the ton is with an eye so it's tính tiền

if it's too expensive you would say mắc quá it's like you wow when buying expensive mac and cheese

so it's mắc quá if you want to sound like a local you can say mắc quá trời

last but not least if you want a discount you would say

it's like you're holding yams and you yeah for your discount so So,

giảm giá, giảm giá, giảm giá.

It sounds more similar to giảm giá, right?

Giảm giá.

Let's review.

If you want to ask how much is it,

you would say, bao nhiêu tiền.

If you want to pay,

you would say, tính tiền.

If it's too expensive, you would say, mắc quá.

And if you want a discount,

you would say Good job, guys!

To get even more discount in Vietnam,

I would suggest you to take Vietnamese lesson with native speakers.

If you want to have immersive learning experience where classes can be combined with a homestay family,

I suggest you check out LTL Language School,

100

who is also our sponsor for this video.

101

From my experience, the fastest and the most efficient way to learn a language is interacting with the host family.

102

This is far more beneficial than just traveling to Vietnam and staying in a hotel

103

because you can practice your Vietnamese with native speakers,

104

enjoy Vietnamese food, and learn a lot about Vietnamese culture.

105

LTL also offers one-on-one safari classes,

106

which give you the opportunity to hit the street and practice Vietnamese with the teacher and local Vietnamese vendors.

107

This is a great way to apply what is learned in class.

108

Last but not least, they offer small group classes averaging just 2 to 3 students.

109

This is significantly smaller than universities and most other language schools where 10

110

or 20 plus students can be crammed into a room.

111

As Vietnamese is tonal, it's very important for beginners to receive personalized feedback to improve their pronunciation.

112

Plus, they can make more friends and take part in cultural activities every week.

113

Check out the link in the description box below to learn more about LTL Language School.

114

And now, I'm gonna teach you more words in restaurant.

115

Now you're at the restaurant and you want to get the waiter or the waitress's attention,

116

you would say, em ơi.

117

Imagine it's like Emma steals your oyster.

118

So you would say em ơi just to try to get her attention and hopefully she'll give you the food back.

119

Em ơi.

120

Em ơi.

121

Since I'm from the north,

122

please excuse for my southern accent.

123

Okay, so now he or she gives you the menu and you see the food that you want to eat,

124

you would say this one.

125

Cái này.

126

To remember it, you would imagine that you point at the kite at night.

127

Okay?

128

So you would say Cái này.

129

The kite is with your tone up, so it's Cái.

130

And then night with your tone down, so it's Này.

131

Now you want to say cheer to your friend.

132

You would count from one to three.

133

Do you remember how to do it?

134

Yes.

135

And you say is like yo.

136

Okay?

137

So it's and then people will say means drink.

138

Alright, should we try it again?

139

Một, hai, ba, dô uống.

140

But after drinking, everyone is gonna shake hands with each other and say chúc sức khỏe.

141

That means wish you had a good health.

142

By the way, don't forget to subscribe to my channel because I'm gonna have the Vietnamese drinking culture video coming up soon.

143

If you drink too much and now you need to go to the bathroom,

144

you would ask for vệ sinh.

145

Imagine it's like a vệ sinh in the bathroom.

146

So now you remember the word vệ sinh.

147

vệ sinh.

148

And the whole sentence is what the bathroom is,

149

is Nhà vệ sinh ở đâu?

150

Nhà vệ sinh ở đâu?

151

Nhà vệ sinh ở đâu?

152

Nhà vệ sinh ở đâu?

153

I did a whole video about how you can order food

154

and how to ask for a bathroom in this video so you should check it out after watching this video.

155

Now let's review.

156

If you want to get the waiter or waitress' attention,

157

you would say Em ơi!

158

You point at the food,

159

you would say Cái này When you want to cheer,

160

you would say Một hai ba rô If you want to ask for the bathroom,

161

you would say Nhà vệ sinh ở đâu?

162

You got this!

163

Alright everyone, let's move on to direction.

164

In Vietnam, we drive motorbike a lot so we would make this sound.

165

Can you guys make this sound or is it my hidden talent?

166

When you travel to Vietnam,

167

you might experience sitting on a Grab bike.

168

Grab is like an Uber in Vietnam and you might need to know some direction words left,

169

right, straight or stop to direct the Grab driver.

170

So now I'm gonna teach you those words.

171

Left in Vietnamese is chai.

172

Chai is like chai but with your tone up.

173

So you drink chai on your left.

174

Chai.

175

Right in Vietnamese is phai.

176

Phai is like fight but with a question mark.

177

Like hở.

178

So it's phai.

179

Phai.

180

If you want to say go straight is đi thẳng.

181

So đi thẳng.

182

How I remember it? is like letter D with your tongue,

183

with a question mark.

184

Okay?

185

So it's Last but not least,

186

if you want to say stop,

187

you would say Dừng lại Dừng is like zoom but with the D sound.

188

And lại is like light but with somebody like hit to your stomach.

189

So it's Dừng lại Dừng lại.

190

Got it?

191

Now let's review.

192

Quẹo trái.

193

Quẹo trái.

194

Quẹo phải.

195

Quẹo phải.

196

Đi thẳng.

197

Đi thẳng.

198

Dừng lại.

199

Dừng lại.

200

Since you stay until the end,

201

let me give you some very important survival phrases that you should learn before traveling to Vietnam.

202

Let's get started.

203

204

In the video titled "Basic Vietnamese Words & Phrases You Need to Know," Vân, a native Vietnamese speaker, shares essential phrases and vocabulary that travelers might need while visiting Vietnam. The emphasis is placed on practical communication skills that can enhance the travel experience by enabling visitors to greet locals, order food, and navigate with ease. Vân’s engaging teaching style makes use of memorable associations and gestures, which can also serve as a model for English learners aiming to improve their speaking skills through techniques like shadow speech and shadowing.

Top 5 Phrases for Daily Communication

Counting from 1 to 10: Understanding numbers is fundamental for everyday interactions. Vân details how to count with memorable tips:
- 1 - Một
- 2 - Hai
- 3 - Ba
- 4 - Bốn
- 5 - Nam
- 6 - Sáu
- 7 - Bảy
- 8 - Tám

Greeting: To say "hello," use Xin chào, which is a friendly way to greet someone.
Thank you: Express gratitude by saying Cảm ơn.
Asking for directions: A crucial phrase when you're traveling!
Ordering food: Knowing food-related terms can make dining out much easier.

Step-by-step Shadowing Guide

To effectively utilize the content from this video and improve your English pronunciation, try the following shadowing technique:

Watch the video once: Familiarize yourself with the phrases as Vân teaches them.
Repeat key phrases: Start with the basic phrases and repeat after Vân, mimicking both pronunciation and intonation. For instance, practice saying Xin chào and Cảm ơn several times, matching Vân's tone and style.
Incorporate gestures: As Vân suggests, using gestures while speaking can aid memory retention. For example, raise your hand for the number one when you say Một.
Record yourself: After several practice rounds, record your speech. Play it back to identify areas for improvement.
Practice regularly: Consistent daily practice is key. Use the phrases in context even when speaking English to make learning more engaging.

By employing the shadowing technique through videos like this one, you not only build vocabulary but also enhance your overall fluency and confidence in speaking English. So why not start now and learn English with YouTube? Try it out with the shadowspeak method!

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?

שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
