Hey Zara, tomorrow is my first day at the new company.
18
That is great news, Robert.
19
Are you nervous?
20
A little bit.
21
I don't know the culture.
22
Don't worry, I can help.
23
First, what time should I arrive?
24
The office starts at 8am.
25
So, I should arrive at exactly 8?
26
In Vietnam, it is better to be 5 or 10 minutes early.
27
Okay, early is on time.
28
Got it.
29
Yes, it shows respect to your manager.

Speaking of managers, how do I say hello?
31
Use eng for men and qi for women.
32
Even in English?
33
Yes, you can say hello,
34
eng nam, or hi, qi lan.
35
Why is that?
36
It's about hierarchy.
37
We respect people who are older or have higher positions.
38
That is very interesting.
39
Is it very formal?
40
It's a mix.

It's formal but also like a family.
42
Family?
43
How so?
44
Colleagues often ask about your life.
45
Like what?
46
Like, are you married or how much is your rent?
47
Wow, that is very personal for a Westerner.
48
I know, but in Vietnam it means they care about you.
49
So I shouldn't be angry?
50
No, just smile and give a simple answer.
51
Okay, smile and be friendly.
52
I can do that.
53
Now, let's talk about the most important part, lunch.

I love food.

Do people eat at their desks?

Usually, no. People go out together.

Do they talk about work during lunch?
58
Not much.
59
They talk about movies, food, and family.
60
That sounds relaxing.
61
It is.
62
But after lunch, something magical happens.

What is it?

The nap.
65
The nap?
66
Like sleeping?

Exactly.

From 1230 to 130, the office is dark.
69
Does everyone sleep?

Most people do.
71
They have small pillows and blankets.

Can I skip the nap?

Sure, you can read or use your phone.

But I must be quiet.
75
Yes, very quiet.
76
It's the sacred nap time.
77
I think I will love this culture.

Wait until 4pm.
79
What happens at 4pm?
80
Snack time.
81
Snack time?
82
Like tea and cake?
83
Yes, or milk tea or tropical fruits with chili salt.

Who buys the snacks?

Often, a team member treats everyone.
86
Oh, like a gift?
87
Yes, we call it d'anhang.

It builds a good mood.
89
I see.

It's not just about work, it's about the team.
91
Exactly.
92

What about after work?

Do people go home at 5.30?
95
Sometimes, but often they go for bia hei.
96
Beer?
97
On a weekday?
98
Yes, it is where the real bonding happens.
99
Do I have to go?
100
You don't have to, but it is good to join sometimes.
101
To show I am part of the team?
102
Precisely.
103
Just have one drink and talk.
104
What about face?
105
I heard about saving face.
106
Ah, very important.
107
Never criticize someone in front of others.
108
So if my colleague makes a mistake...
109
Talk to them privately.
110
Don't make them feel ashamed.
111
That makes sense.
112
Keep it private and polite.
113
You're learning fast, Robert.
114
One more thing.
115
What should I wear?
116
For your first day, wear a shirt and trousers.
117
No tie?
118
No, ties are rare unless it's a very big meeting.
119
And for women?
120
Dresses or skirts are very common and professional.
121
Is the office usually hot?
122
No, the air conditioning is usually very cold.
123
So bring a jacket for the nap.
124
Yes, a nap jacket is a must.
125
Zara, this is so helpful.
126
I feel better now.
127
Remember, Vietnamese people are very forgiving.
128
Really?
129
If you make a cultural mistake, just smile and apologize.
130
They won't be mad?
131
No, they appreciate that you are trying to learn.
132
I want to learn some basic phrases, too.
133
Like what?
134
How to say, let's go eat.
135
Say, di an toy.
136
Di an toy.
137
Perfect.
138
Your colleagues will love that.
139
And thank you.
140
Come on.
141
Come on.
142
I will use that a lot tomorrow.
143
One last tip.
144
Bring some small sweets from your country.
145
To share with the team?
146
Yes, it's the fastest way to make friends.
147
Snacks are the universal language, right?
148
Absolutely.
149
Good lunch tomorrow, Robert.
150
Thanks, Sara.
151
I'm ready for my nap.
152
I mean, my work.
153
See you later.
154
Wow, Robert is ready for his first day.
155
Now, let's look at some key phrases and cultural tips from their conversation.
156
First, we talked about hierarchy.
157
In Vietnam, we use ảnh for older brothers and men and ảnh for older sisters and women.
158
Even in English offices, saying ảnh shows great respect.
159
Second, let's look at the phrase saving face.
160
This is a core value.
161
In the dialogue, I told Robert to talk to them privately.
162
This prevents losing face or feeling embarrassed in public.
163
Third, the lunch nap.
164
This isn't laziness.
165
It's a way to recharge for a productive afternoon.
166
Most offices in Vietnam turn off the lights from 12pm to 1.30pm.
167
And finally, socializing.
168
Work in Vietnam is about relationships.
169
Going to lunch or having snacks at 4pm is how you build trust.
170
You did an amazing job today!
171
Learning a language is 50% words and 50% culture.
172
We want to hear from you.
173
What is work culture like in your country?
174
Do you take naps at noon?

为什么通过这个视频练习口语？
在学习英语的过程中，实践口语能力至关重要。通过观看和听取这样的英语播客，你不仅可以提升你的听力，还能通过模仿来改善口语表达。视频中介绍了在越南工作时的文化差异和日常对话，让你在真实环境中运用英语，进而增强自信。在工作场所中与同事进行交谈是一种重要的社交技能，通过这个视频，你可以学习到如何与越南同事打招呼、了解其文化，甚至在轻松的氛围中认识新朋友。因此，这段视频为你提供了良好的英语口语练习的机会，帮助你提高沟通能力，适应越南的职场文化。
语法与表达在语境中的运用
在视频中，Robert与Zara的对话展示了几种关键的表达方式，帮助听众更好地理解日常交流的语法结构：
- 问候方式：如“eng for men”和“qi for women”。这些表达方式显示了在越南的尊重文化，适时使用能够帮助你更好地融入团队。
- 时间的理解：“应该早到5或10分钟。”这句话强调了在越南文化中准时的重要性，通过这样的表述可以有效地减少误解。
- 个人相关问题：“你结婚了吗？”和“你的租金是多少？”这些问题在西方可能显得过于私密，但在越南却是一种关心的体现。了解这一点有助于你在与同事的互动中保持开放和友好的态度。
常见的发音陷阱
在视频中，有些单词和短语的发音可能会让英语学习者感到困惑，比如“eng”和“qi”的发音。确保你能够清楚地发出这些音节，可以在与越南同事交流时展示出对其文化的尊重。此外，监测你与播客中的说话者的语调和节奏，模仿他们的语音特征也可以帮助你提升口语能力。多对照听并看YouTube学英语，参与shadowspeak练习，可以在日常交流中减少口音的障碍，增强你在英语会话中的自信。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
