Every year on the lunar calendar that the person passed away,

they have the death anniversary where the family gets together and,

you know, does the prayers,

gives the offerings of food and the paper money and whatever that family member liked so they can enjoy the afterlife.

What's up everyone?

Chào các bạn và chào mừng các bạn.

Cảm ơn các bạn đã theo dõi.

Podcast Slow and Clear.

Cool.

What's up English?

In today's podcast, you are going to learn a ton of words and phrases to talk about your family,

but also to talk about family traditions and things related to family culture in Vietnam.

So first, you will learn pretty much all of the words you need to talk about your family members,

of your immediate family, but also your extended family.

And after that, we'll talk about the differences in culture between Western families and Vietnamese families.

For example, do Westerners have a death anniversary?

And how many generations live together in one house?

So between Vietnamese families and Western families,

there are a few big differences about the culture and the traditions.

And so today we are going to talk about that

and you will be able to describe and talk about those things in English.

But before we get to the podcast,

I want to let you know about my new product called the 1000 Most Common English Words.

So if you are a beginner learning English,

then one of the most important things to do is learn the common foundational words of English.

And so I've released a PDF and audio file.

The PDF has a list of the thousand most common words,

and each word has the IPA pronunciation,

an English example sentence, and a Vietnamese translation of that example sentence,

so you can see how the word is used.

It also has audio files for every single word.

So first I say the word and then a pause so you can repeat the word to practice your pronunciation.

And then I say the sentence and then another pause so there's time for you to repeat the sentence.

If that sounds useful for you,

then the link to this product is in the description.

It's 79k and if you buy it,

I really appreciate your support and I hope you love the product.

And thank you to everybody who has supported my channel by buying the product or by commenting on my videos,

liking, even just watching.

Thank you everyone for all of your support.

I really really appreciate it.

Thank you.

Okay, so let's start the podcast.

First, you're going to learn the words for talking about your family,

like all of the members of your family and other words.

To do that, I'm going to tell you about my family.

All right.

So in my immediate family,

I have a mother and a father who are both in their 60s.

And I also have a sibling.

A sibling just means a brother or sister.

So my sibling is an older brother he's about three years older than me

and I also have a stepbrother a stepsister and a stepmom in English

when we put step before sister or brother or dad

or mom what that means is

that person is a family member who is not blood related to you not biologically related to you

but they are related through marriage so So when I was young,

my parents divorced and then my dad got a new wife,

but she already had kids.

And so her kids became my stepbrother and stepsister.

And we could say she became my stepmom.

To recap, in my immediate family,

I have a mother, a father,

an older brother, a stepsister,

a stepbrother, and a stepmom.

And I am the youngest out of all of them.

We don't really have a specific word to describe the youngest child.

We just say the youngest child we don't say or anything like that.

If there are three kids and you are in the middle,

that child is called the middle child and the oldest one is the oldest child.

So there's the youngest child,

the middle child, or the oldest child.

So now let's move on to the extended family.

So my brother, my biological older brother,

has a wife and a daughter.

So his wife would be my,

do you know, she would be my sister-in-law.

Sister-in-law.

So an in-law is someone that is also related to you by marriage.

So for example, if you get married to your husband or to your wife,

their parents are your mother or father-in-law, right?

If your brother or sister gets married,

their spouse is your brother or sister-in-law.

All right, so my brother,

he has a daughter and she is my niece, my niece.

Now, if my brother had a son,

he would be my nephew.

So your siblings' children are your nieces and nephews.

And to them, you are their uncles or aunts, right?

So now I'll talk about my extended family on my mom's side.

So in daily English, you can talk about the family on your mom's side or your dad's side

simply by saying on my mom's side.

For example, my granddad or my grandfather on my mom's side.

Or if they are your dad's father,

you can say my grandfather on my dad's side.

But you can also use the word maternal,

which is an adjective that means on your mom's side,

or paternal, which is an adjective that means on your dad's side.

So your mom's mom would be your maternal grandmother and your dad's mom would be your paternal grandmother.

100

Maternal, paternal.

101

So now I have one remaining grandparent who is my grandfather and he's on my mom's side.

102

So I have a maternal grandfather.

103

I also have a few aunts and uncles who are my mom's brothers and sisters.

104

And all of them live in England because my mom is English.

105

She was born and raised in England.

106

As for my father's side of the family,

107

from what I know, I have an uncle and a few cousins who live in Montreal,

108

Canada,

109

and the rest of the extended family on my father's side live in Italy because my father was adopted by my grandfather,

110

who was from Italy.

111

He has now passed away,

112

but because he came to Canada in,

113

I think, the 1940s, and he adopted my father in around 1960,

114

but all of his family is still in Italy because he's from Italy.

115

So I could say that my grandfather,

116

he was not my biological grandfather,

117

but we still consider him like a blood relative.

118

I don't consider him as any different at all.

119

All right, so that was my family.

120

Let's recap on the words we just learned.

121

So for your immediate family you have a mother a father you have siblings

122

and your siblings are your brothers and sisters also

123

if one of your parents divorced and remarried then you might have a stepbrother a stepsister a stepmom or a stepdad.

124

As for your extended family,

125

you can have a grandmother,

126

grandfather, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces,

127

nephews, and those are the main words we use in English.

128

So one big difference and a mistake

129

that Vietnamese people often make is they call their cousin their sister

130

or their brother because in Vietnamese you call them your sister

131

or your brother right but in English your sister

132

and brother is only the child of your mother

133

and father you have the same mother

134

and father your cousin is a different word and we don't call our cousins our sisters or brothers.

135

So that's one thing to remember because it can cause a bit of confusion.

136

I remember with one of my friends she said,

137

I'm hanging out with my sister and I said, what?

138

I thought you didn't have a sister and she was talking about her cousin and then I realized,

139

okay, yeah, your cousin.

140

So it can cause a a bit of confusion in English.

141

All right, let's move on to some differences in tradition and culture between the West and Vietnam.

142

So firstly, let's talk about extended families versus nuclear families.

143

In the West, most of the households are just the parents and children.

144

And when the children move out,

145

then it's just the parents.

146

But in Vietnam, many extended families live together.

147

So there are a lot of different generations in one house.

148

Sometimes three, even four generations can live in the same house with the great grandparents or something like that.

149

And in the West, that is extremely rare.

150

So that's one thing that is different.

151

The next point is how Westerners take care of the elderly versus how the Vietnamese take care of the elderly.

152

So when someone reaches the age of not being able to take care of themselves in the West,

153

often people will put that family member in a retirement home or a nursing home.

154

and these places, if it's a good one,

155

they can be very nice because they take care of

156

that family member and then they get to live in a community with other people who are the same age as them.

157

So they can be around friends and of course the family will go in and visit them.

158

But in Vietnam, usually the elders live at home and they are taken care of by the family.

159

So I think that's a great way of doing it,

160

but just, you know, different cultures, different societies.

161

I think it depends on the family with how they want to do it.

162

I'm not going to say which one I think is better or not because it just depends on what that person wants.

163

If they want to be in a home or with their family.

164

Okay so another thing that is different between Western families and Vietnamese families is the parental involvement.

165

So in Vietnam it seems like the parents are a little more strict with their children than in the West.

166

These days, I'm not so sure because I see a lot of parents these days not strict with their children at all.

167

And then some are very strict, so it just depends.

168

Also in Vietnam, it's often expected for the children to send money back to their parents.

169

But in the West, you pretty much never hear about the kids sending money back to their parents.

170

As for marriage, I'm not sure if this is still very common these days.

171

I think it is, but kids are more pressured to get married than kids in the West.

172

For example, I'm not married and my family will just ask me,

173

are you dating anyone?

174

And that's about it.

175

They won't say, oh, you should,

176

you know, you should find someone, you should get married.

177

They don't, they never say that.

178

And most Western families don't say that.

179

They ask, am I dating anyone?

180

If I am, how's it going?

181

If not, then that's it.

182

We move on to the next part of the conversation.

183

Here's one thing I want to go over briefly,

184

not too long, but one big difference between the West and Vietnam is in the West,

185

you have a death anniversary.

186

In the West, we don't have this death anniversary.

187

So guys, I'm not an expert on this, okay?

188

If I say anything kind of wrong or if you want to add more information,

189

please feel free to leave a comment.

190

I talked with a few friends and tried to understand this part of Vietnamese culture as much as I could.

191

So from what I know,

192

after someone in your family passes away,

193

then there will be 49 days.

194

And in that 49 days,

195

the family maybe will go to temples,

196

will pray, will leave offerings for that family member,

197

because after 49 days, it is decided how they will reincarnate,

198

how their next life will be.

199

And again, I'm not an expert.

200

I've heard there are lots of different traditions.

201

Some do it after 49 days,

202

some do it after 100 days.

203

And then every year on the lunar calendar.

204

So every year on the lunar calendar that the person passed away,

205

they have the death anniversary where the family gets together and,

206

you know, does the prayers,

207

gives the offerings of food and the paper money and whatever that family member liked so they can enjoy the afterlife.

208

And in the West, we do not do that.

209

We simply have a funeral when someone passes away.

210

And then maybe some people will go to their grave and leave flowers or leave something for them.

211

But it's not a big celebration.

212

I'm not sure if celebration is the right word,

213

but it's not a big event every year for the anniversary of their passing.

214

All right, so I don't want to make this podcast too long,

215

but I think we are going to end with that.

216

I hope you learned a ton of useful words to talk about your family.

217

And again, guys, please don't forget to leave a comment if you want to correct something I said,

218

or if you want to tell me more about your culture,

219

because I think in different parts of Vietnam,

220

they might do it differently.

221

So yeah, I hope you guys enjoyed the podcast.

222

Check out the thousand most common words in the description below,

223

and I will see you guys in the next video.

224

Goodbye.
