I'm a Vietnamese living abroad

and throughout the years I have met many people who have never been to my country

and wanting to know more about it.

While talking to them, I realized that my country had quite many myths that were entirely not true at all.

That's why I wanted to make this video to help debunk some of those myths

and give you guys like a realistic view of how Vietnam looked like in a modern time.

Disclaimer, all of this is just my opinion.

It's just my own experience about my country you might have different opinion

and experience and you're welcome to discuss about that too so please don't be mad with me let's go

many people only know vietnam because of the world

so there is a belief somewhere that my country is a dangerous place

because it was affected by the world still

which is not true first of all it's a peaceful country nowadays just a normal country

and you barely see any military activities in the daily life anyway.

The war ended 50 years ago and obviously there are still some effect of it in the country till this day.

My village for example, almost everybody knows someone who has fought in the war.

Some of them lost their life or part of their body.

There are monuments everywhere across the country and from time to time we found bombs buried deep in the ground.

During the war the country was devastated but I have to say that Vietnam bounced incredibly fast back.

In half a century, they have managed to rebuild the country, have a fairly fast developing economy,

have a peaceful and safe life for people who live there and also people who want to visit.

And in general, Vietnamese, we don't like to like linger about the past.

Like normally we don't talk about the war in our daily life.

We move on and we look forward for the future.

So if you want to visit our country, it's safe for you.

Don't worry.

The next myth I have heard still about the war is that Vietnamese hate America due to their involvement during the war.

No, we actually don't have beef with American anymore.

Most of us, like maybe some, but in general, no, we actually like Americans.

We like their culture.

We love Hollywood movie.

We love their music.

We care about their celebrity.

When I was in school and learned about history, we were not getting taught to like hate American or something.

America along with other European country, western country, are considered in Vietnam a developed, cool, wealthy place.

Many parents wish to send their kids to America to study, so don't worry, you are welcome to Vietnam.

Vietnam is like fairly friendly to foreigners anyway.

Vietnam is a place only for cheap travel and budget tourism.

Listen, there is truth on it why do you think a bunch of backpackers come to Vietnam every year?

It's not just cheap and then you have like mediocre food and mediocre experience.

The food is one of the best food you could find in the world.

I am biased.

I don't care.

It is awesome.

The nature is kind of getting destroyed a little bit over the year but in general it's still beautiful.

So please go and have a look at it.

But if you want to do fancy trip and stuff like that Vietnam is a perfect place as well.

We have so many villas, fancy resorts and things like that near the beach.

I just love Vietnam for traveling.

Honestly, even when I live in Germany, all of the money I have, I just want to use it to go back to Vietnam and travel.

All Vietnamese drive motorbikes.

First of all, if you are a foreigner coming to Vietnam for traveling and you thought, you know what, the whole country, they drive motorbike anyway.

I want to jump on a motorbike and enjoy the traffic.

Do not ever do that.

But I cannot tell you the amount of foreigners I have seen getting into accidents because of driving a motorbike.

Do you know how dangerous it is to drive over there?

Whenever I heard of a foreigner saying that they plan to go to Vietnam, rent a motorbike and drive in the mountain over there,

I could just think good luck to you.

It's not something I would do even though I'm Vietnamese.

Coming back to the stereotype, it is true that motorbike is the most common transport in Vietnam our public transport system is not

that advanced yet

so to go from point A to point B normally the fastest way is go by motorbike almost everybody

I know in Vietnam drive motorbikes even though they have a car

because the car will take forever to drive over there but again

if you're a foreigner watching

it do not get a motorbike in Vietnam just go by taxi

we have super easy way to catch taxi in Vietnam okay

just go to Vietnam go by taxi go by the bus you're going to be fine

Vietnam is a very hot country I must say there are truth into it

if you go to Vietnam during the summer time no matter where you go in the country

it is burningly hot it is unbearable if you like flexible

when it comes to like holiday time just avoid summer

when you go to vietnam not only is hot

it's crazily humid too you always get sticky you feel hot

you feel uncomfortable however from the middle to the north of vietnam we have four seasons per year

and the weather could change drastically in each season the winter for example

It's pretty cold, sometimes it goes down to less than 10 degrees and it's just very pleasant in my opinion.

So do your research when you go to Vietnam and you might be surprised about our weather actually.

Next one is the economy of Vietnam heavily relies on agriculture because most of us are farmers.

Which is a very interesting take for me

because I have witnessed the rapid change of my country like in just the last 10 years

and it was insane for me

when i was five like eight ten years old everybody in my village were farmer like there's no other job

if you want to find like a job to work in a factory you have to drive to the south

which take like a day and then work there

and just during the last 10 years there are several factories getting built around my area

and now nobody is a farmer anymore in the village like literally everybody abandoned their farm

and they just go and work in the factory nearby the fact

that their factory there actually helps my village economy a lot

there are nicer houses getting built kids having like a fancier bias to go to school

and they could afford things that they couldn't have before

when they are just a farmer to having like a stable job like this is actually better for the village

and i'm glad for

that vietnam is a poor rural country let's say compared to a western country yep

we are poorer even compared to other southeast asian country we are not like among the top economically as well

and yeah they are part of vietnam that are still very underdeveloped

and people are having very very hard life over there the

thing is everything is changing with a crazily fast pace in vietnam

you have building rising up every single month there's a lot of chance to open a business

100

and do things in vietnam

101

because of like the blooming economy in the city the quality

102

of life have been improving very very significantly during the years

103

like the kids nowadays live a way better life than me just 10 years ago

104

i don't think germany have such drastic change

105

when it comes to economy 10 years ago and now

106

so i'm excited to see what happened in the next 10 years for my country Vietnamese eat pho all the time.

107

No. If you don't know what is pho, it's basically noodle with a very aromatic soup and a bit of a beef or chicken up there.

108

I honestly don't know why pho is so popular in the world.

109

Somehow when I travel around the world, when I see a Vietnamese restaurant, it's all about pho, pho,

110

pho, pho, pho, and everybody is talking about it.

111

We have so many other food like bún bò hê.

112

I will just put a picture there for you.

113

Bún riêu cua and other things like that.

114

Pho is not something we eat as a daily meal.

115

We only go out to eat it in a restaurant because it took around 12 to 40 hours to cook the broth.

116

Nobody have time for it.

117

My opinion, do not cancel me.

118

I love pho but I cannot eat it like two times in a row.

119

Really, I eat pho like once per year.

120

Vietnamese cuisine is spicy.

121

Okay, I feel like on my channel, I make you guys believe that when I was in Vietnam,

122

I was a spice eating warrior or something because my country food is very spicy.

123

But it's actually not that true.

124

I am so sorry because compared to like

125

Western food, our food is definitely more spicy.

126

That's what I meant.

127

But like compared to many Asian food culture, our food is not that spicy at all.

128

We don't use chili for cooking that often.

129

We would put chili on our dipping sauce and everything like that.

130

But in general, compared to like

131

Thai food for example, every single

132

Thai food I eat has a big chunk of chili in there.

133

They put chili in anywhere.

134

Chinese food is even worse.

135

I saw it how they cook it.

136

It was just insanely amount of chili powder.

137

But Vietnamese food is not based in the chili and the spiciness of We eat based on other flavors,

138

which I like because when you put chili in everything, you just only taste the spice.

139

If you cannot eat spice, you're going to be fine in Vietnam.

140

You will not be fine in Thailand because even though you tell them, it's impossible to make unspicy food in Thailand.

141

The next one is Vietnamese women are often more submissive.

142

which I often heard from those guys who live in developed countries

143

but cannot find a partner

144

so they plan to go to Southeast Asia to search for someone who is more like submissive and things like that.

145

That is not how you describe Vietnamese women at all.

146

I cannot speak for the whole population, I'm just gonna say it from my observation.

147

Most of the women I know in Vietnam are very strong and actually very opinionated.

148

They are very career driven, independent, and they don't take any bullshit from the partner.

149

Sometimes it gets a bit crazy, I must say, not in a toxic way, but they could get very scary.

150

There are still Vietnamese women who were raised by traditional values to be a traditional wife and submissive to their husband sadly,

151

but I must say it is not a popular thing anymore.

152

And if you go to Vietnam and meet a random woman over there, chances are high that she is strong and if you mess with her,

153

you're going to see how crazy she is.

154

So you have been one.

155

Vietnamese often wear aozai in a daily life.

156

It's basically our traditional clothes and yeah we do wear it in our daily life as well.

157

It's not like we wear it every day

158

but it's not like in Germany where they only wear the dindal like once per year during October fest.

159

We have a new form of aozai nowadays

160

which is the mixture between the traditional type

161

and just like a modern dress so that we can wear it every day

162

and it looks super cute and when you wear it it doesn't look like too much for daily life at all.

163

You can find modern outside nowadays in many clothing shops which is not a thing when I was younger in Vietnam.

164

I really love our traditional clothes and I like how people embrace it and just wear it like in everyday life.

165

I have like fall modern outside at home and I wear it whenever I feel like it as well.

166

It's very very cute.

167

Most Vietnamese people are Buddhist.

168

When you visit Vietnam you would notice that there are quite many pagodas

169

so that Buddhists can practice their religion and many people would go there every month and pray and things like that.

170

The thing is many people I know in Vietnam did that but I don't think they call themselves

171

Buddhist at all.

172

They just go there to have like this spiritual connection they're not very devoted on it

173

and they don't call themselves buddhist over there i think in general

174

i think my country is not very religious we have this practice where we worship our ancestor

175

but i'm not sure if it's like a whole religion thing i'm not an expert on

176

that we still go to the pagoda to like pray

177

and things like

178

that still christian is even rarer in vietnam

179

i think during my four years of university

180

i met only one christian vietnamese people are generally superstitious hmm yeah

181

we are more superstitious than uh germany for sure many of the important activities

182

we do during our lifetime um have superstitious activities like we have to choose the right date

183

we have to choose the right partner with the right birthday date

184

and things like

185

that although i'm not a very superstitious person

186

i still experience all of the superstitious activity in the family at least like once per year.

187

Many of us often go to the fortune teller to let them tell us about our future

188

and many of us believe in destiny.

189

Even like successful businessmen, well -educated women, many of them have like strong belief in superstition as well.

190

So I think the relationship between the younger people in Vietnam

191

and superstition is that we don't really believe it actually

192

but we also don't want to mess with our destiny

193

so um when it comes to like uh things

194

that normally vietnamese would use a petition like you know choosing the dead

195

and things like

196

that we would like go to the fortune teller as well

197

it's like seemingly mesh into our life somehow

198

it definitely could be a bad thing many people i know has paid thousands of dollars for a shaman

199

so that their bad luck goes away i just don't want to take the best side of it

200

but i also don't want to like dismiss it a hundred percent

201

because it's impossible to like separate it in Vietnamese cultural Vietnamese are short

202

and thin I mean when it comes to like the height

203

if you take the medium height of Vietnamese

204

and compare it to the medium height of German for example yeah we are shorter

205

that is a fact I don't need to argue about that

206

Obviously in Vietnam, they are taller, shorter people.

207

I'm 163cm height and I was considered a tall girl in Vietnam.

208

And in Germany, I always had to look up like this to talk to the girls over here.

209

About Vietnamese being thin, it is true though.

210

It is true.

211

I barely see a curvy body type in Vietnam.

212

I think because of the diet, we eat very healthy.

213

We don't eat butter or milk or bread we eat a lot of vegetable

214

and salad and we don't deep fry things often.

215

Of course there are different body types in Vietnam and stuff like that.

216

But it is true that it is commonly known that Vietnamese tend to be quite thin.

217

Vietnamese people have similar facial features.

218

I mean, if you're from a diverse country like America for example, where you have different races living and they are all American,

219

you could say that about my country I guess because I think 99 .99 % of Vietnamese are Vietnamese,

220

you know, the race.

221

So that is why I guess we all have like some similar feature.

222

And I have to say since I moved out of the country and start traveling abroad,

223

I can identify Vietnamese even though they haven't even speak Vietnamese yet.

224

The accuracy rate is really, really high.

225

I don't know, is it my talent or maybe anybody can do

226

that but i feel like vietnamese do have some significant feature

227

that is make us like different compared to the rest of asia i don't know i could feel

228

that and i could see that from like strangers and i could like identify them

229

vietnamese people don't speak english i mean yeah if you see my mom

230

or my father or like the older generation normally they don't speak english but

231

if you see the younger generation nowadays

232

they all can speak english in vietnam uh every single parent want to send their kids to an english center

233

when they were like two three years old

234

that's the common practice in a big city even like a small area now they also have like english center

235

and it's a blooming economy everybody wants to learn English there

236

and like when you apply for a job nowadays they all require like English certificate

237

and English skill and many of them can do that so

238

if you talk to a younger people in Vietnam chances are high

239

that they can speak English and I'm

240

so glad to see the graduate change to see everybody to be able to use English more

241

and can like do more international thing

242

it's a very positive change Vietnamese people are always late okay I cannot even be mad this

243

because normally i am not the most punctual person ever since i live in germany

244

i have changed a lot let me see

245

if any of the vietnamese i know is punctual normally my sister is even worse than me

246

when it comes to like being on time my parents are

247

not the most punctual ever my friends are always late with

248

every single event punctuality is not like a thing in my social uh circle sadly

249

i know maybe other vietnamese is different okay i'm just saying we are pretty chill

250

when it comes to time um we do things

251

and then we go to the date and normally we late

252

and it doesn't matter normally

253

when the party would start with like two three people showing up first

254

then they would start doing things cleaning talking and then more

255

and more and more people will join later when they have time.

256

And it's not like a big deal at all.

257

So yeah, I cannot speak anything against that.

258

Vietnamese people are always working hard with no time for fun.

259

Vietnamese are the hardest working people I have ever met.

260

Like hands down.

261

They're very family oriented, career oriented.

262

Once they get hired to a company, they devote their life for the company.

263

It doesn't matter.

264

They work overtime, they listen to their boss, they like trying to make money for their company.

265

In the recent years whenever i go back to vietnam i have noticed

266

that um my friends are all working in like a very stressful

267

and time consuming job many of them don't even have time to like doing makeup

268

or like take care of themselves anymore

269

but the thing is although they work hard

270

and they spend as i said crazily amount of time for

271

work over there they somehow managed to have time to have fun

272

and then meet people as well vietnamese love to socializing

273

and i don't know how they manage that but they socialize

274

so much like even when they work crazily

275

when they go home they would like have meeting with friends

276

and other family and then eating together go travel and things like

277

that my sister for example she worked days and night

278

and then she made friends day and night somehow still managed to do

279

that like of course it takes a toll on your physical

280

and mental health somehow because like you have to do a lot of things

281

but like socializing is something vietnamese don't compromise it doesn't matter how hard they work, they would find time for family and friends, which I respect.

282

So I think we debunked enough of the myth and stereotype in this video.

283

I hope you guys learned something and find interesting as well.

284

Thank you very much for watching and I'll see you in the next video.

285

Bye bye!

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
