My favorite thing in the world is that my brain thinks of you as kin because you’re a Southerner speaking with a Southern accent but then you so smoothly transition into Vietnamese! My mind is starting to positively associate Vietnamese culture with Southern culture. We gossip and cook and share food the same way. You even treat the Aunties the same way we do. It’s just a really pleasant experience for me. It’s rare to find Southern language TH-camrs. I’m like genuinely shocked at how big of a deal accent is to comfort level. I didn’t even recognize that there was a distance between me and TH-cam’s English-speaking polyglots until I heard your voice.
If you haven't had the pleasure of dealing with Vietnamese immigrants in the US, you're missing out. They tend to be really good at integrating with their local community while still maintaining a lot of their culture, which they are proud to share with others. I've heard from foreigners that the Vietnamese in their countries are the same as how I've described them here. Basically, the Vietnamese make a great addition to any community that welcomes them.
It's the day before Lunar New Year here in the U.S. and this wound up in my feed. NYC transplant living in Northwest Arkansas, so I'm acclimated to the Southern accent and hospitality. The first thing to get used to is how folks just have a conversation with you waiting on line for anything - bank, grocery, restaurant. Seeing him do the same in Vietnam just shows you can take the boy out of the South but you can't take the South out of the boy. 😊
As a Vietnamese American, it's really nice to see someone who really enjoys the food, understands and appreciates the culture. Thank you for providing these videos Mr. Max, I haven't been able to stop watching! Brings back so many memories of childhood when my family and I would go visit Saigon for Tet Trung Thu every year.
A little message to anyone watching from Vietnam. You have a beautiful country and you're all very friendly to foreigners! I really appreciate everyones kindness during my visits and wish I knew the language to just be able to sit and chat and laugh. Love from Melbourne Australia
As a vietnamese international student living abroad in Chicago, I absolutely love your vlogs. You’re actually exploring corners of Vietnam that I wasn’t even aware of and it’s very fun seeing ya interacting with the locals. Your chemistry seems incredibly natural, keep it up!
Love how humble the title of this video is.... It just describes a down to earth American dude who learned to speak the native language fluently. He can communicate easily and enjoys interacting with the Vietnamese aunties. No BS about how he "SHOCKED the locals" or "BROKE the matrix". Wish the other TH-camrs who showcase their language abilities would be more like this IMHO.
Đúng rồi. Mình cũng định nói như vậy. Max nghe lầm. Mặt dễ thương vui vẻ như vậy ai mà kêu mất dạy cho được. 😊Mất dạy là từ nặng lắm, Max. Thường khi chưởi lộn người ta mới dùng.
Max nghe nhằm rồi, người Việt Nam từ xưa đến nay chưa bao giờ nói người nước ngoài "mất dạy" , cô ấy nói câu gì đó ví von mến khách mà Max không nghe rõ nhé Max à.
Your Vietnamese is just BANGING!! I love your banter with the locals so much they’re so fun to watch 😊😊 thanks for the videos Max! Brings me back to my childhood in Vietnam
What an absolute fun video, such a joy watching you enjoy the aunties in Vietnam. They have some fascinating stories to tell, always there for a great conversation or a laugh.. 2:20 I believe you were right about this. The Vietnamese community absolutely love you
Him chomping on the coffee bean, you can hear it, so want to go there and just try one lol. I love coffee, but I have yet to have a single one that I'd actually call good, sounds like they have it so right
Thank you Max for loving Vietnam foods, specially from Southern cousins. Your pronouncements in Vietnamese language is awesome.I see how a smart guy you are. Thanks again Max.
Okay. I have to admit. Your southern Vietnamese accent is so damn good! That is very hard to to pull off due to inflections and such. Also, you know how to humor with the locals. I’m absolutely impressed!
Hi Max, vẫn xem các clip của Max, rất vui ! Phần clip cuối thấy Max có nói chuyện với chị bán coffee, hình như có sự nghe lầm (listened by mistake) chị ấy nói: “chị già rồi” không phải nói Max “mất dạy” đâu, Max đừng hiểu lầm rồi buồn, thấy mọi người rất thích giao tiếp với Max. Mong cháu có thêm nhiều trải nghiệm vui ở VN.
Hi Max, I stumbled on your videos and have been binge watching them. I have been so inspired by the amazing food you've showcased that I've seek out the recipes online and been making a different Vietnamese dish once a week. Everything has been so nostalgic and reminds me of the food my mom would make growing up. I didn't appreciate it then but I do now. Thank you! 😄😋
Mình thích nhất video này của Max,thật thú vị! Nó ko đơn thuần là giới thiệu món ăn,mà nó còn cho thấy khả năng tiếng Việt của Max,những câu chuyện đường phố của mọi người và có cả những thông tin thú vị về ẩm thực hoặc văn hoá trong đó.👍👍
@@innominatum9906 doesnt take any longer than it would take to write in perfect spanish or any other dialect, it's a pretty latin language. could be worse, could be kanji
@@innominatum9906 If you're typing on PC or phone, we has some tools which just turn all the tone marks into the number 1-9, so you can literally type a word then add the numbers to make it become the right word you want to say.

Max is so friendly, he’s always explaining every detail, about food and culture, He is a very extremely intelligent, and very knowledgeable,😋 keep up the great work, Max ❤
trong số các kênh người nước ngoài làm về VN thì lần nào coi clip của Max cũng rất ngạc nhiên về độ am hiểu về ẩm thực việt của Max, giờ Max như một người miền tây luôn rồi. Chúc kênh bạn ngày càng phát triển!
we're all one species, gotta love each other and share culture. Japan and America is a wonderful example. inextricably linked through unimaginable violence and suffering, and yet now manga and sushi are huge here and American music is huge in Japan now, as well as Japanese style western food. America the Beautiful is my motherland, and what makes Her so beautiful is the fact that so many different cultures can coexist in one place. peace and love ❤️💖

Úi trời Max cute đi đâu cũng trò chuyện với người dân, cảm giác gần gũi và thân thiện quá đi ha :v Cute Max always chats with people wherever he goes, it feels so close and friendly :v
Max, this was one of the funniest video I have ever watched you interacting with the locals. Your Viet Namese is progressing much faster than I thought. Always enjoy your videos bro.
I can’t believe how good your Vietnamese is! Part of me is jealous and the other part of me feels shameful of myself! I am half Vietnamese and I understand everything and I know how to say words, but for the life of me I can’t seem to put it all together to form a sentence! How did you learn? I honestly believe you were really Vietnamese in a past life. I’m finally going to be visiting the homeland for the first time with my mom at the end of this month and I can’t not wait to try all the foods. Who knows maybe I’ll run into you and Chris. 🥳
I remember traveling with someone similar to you who could understand but not speak French on day 1 in France they were just nodding and saying a few words but by the end of the week they were stringing sentences together. You will be fine, just need to hang out with the locals for a bit, and don't be afraid to give it a go.
Sis, submersion is how you get there. I'm an Italian-American from NY and became fairly good in Korean after 4 yrs, no classes, just living in Korea. Scored intermediate on the Korean test.
I was seriously starting looking to visit a friend in Saigon and I stumbled on your channel. Your aunties are making this into a real thing. They're fantastic!
Dude your knowledge and true love for Vietnamese food is incredible. Super impressive. You making me want to visit Vietnam and eat all that fabulous food. Love your work mate. Good thing for me there’s heaps more videos to watch 👍
With each passing month, Chris and Max improve on their food documentaries. It’s really engaging and upbeat and always happy to receive little kernels of knowledge.
Love the natural interaction with the wonderful Vietnamese people. I was in Vietnam for a month this summer and already mis it sorely, what a wonderful country ❤🇻🇳
Max (and my apologies for resorting to the phonetic spelling of your name) - this is the first video I'm watching from you sans Chris. When I grew up, "Vietnam" was a word that brought terror to my mind. Yet - even with the threat of being conscripted into the army and sent to Vietnam to fight and possibly die, I felt a deep need to know more about the Vietnamese people. Being able to see life in Vietnam through yours and Chris' eyes has been SO wonderful. Can't thank you enough for sharing these small, yet significant moments. I'm too old and bent now to make the journey myself, so your experiences mean a lot to me.All the best to you, sir. You, and your experiences, mean more than you may realize.
Max..I have noticed you have been filming more of the Che desserts recently. I so appreciate you showing us their delicious Vietnamese desserts as I love them but they can be difficult to find here in the USA. Have a wonderful day and I am looking forward to your next video!
@@TheCharlesLuu Im in Tucson. There are a lot of Vietnamese here, but mostly they run stores. Can find some vietnamese desserts like banh xu xe and banh da lon but not really Che. There are some more options up in Phoenix though. I know Houston is awesome for vietnamese.. wish I could visit there!
Phút 4:08 Hoan nghinh Max với câu : " Mình là người miền Nam " thương quá , triệu likes cho con nè Max 😍❤❤❤👍👍👍 Cô chủ quán dễ thương , thật thà và tôn trọng khách . Chúc mọi người nhiều sức khoẻ , làm ăn phát tài . Chúc Max mau được nút vàng nha .
It's not a Max video until someone asks if he's single lol! 🤣 I loved seeing them roast the coffee right there at their stall and you even get to taste the bean! How amazing, this is what I love to see and experience!
Not even you can speak Vietnamese fluently, you can actually gossip like Vietnamese. And it still surprises me since I have followed you channel from the beginning :D
Lunch, dessert and coffee! Perfect meal! We got that Che Trang in Singapore as well. It’s called Yong Tau Foo or Niang Tau Foo. Stuffed with fish paste as well but the commercial ones are ass and unfortunately the most common. The Hakka style version is the best and a proper one is getting harder and harder to find! The broth here is usually made with anchovies and soybeans if I’m not wrong. Great work as always brother!
Max always shows full of energy when it comes to Vietnamese foods. I dream to eat bố bía. I are it 30 years ago and still remember how it tastes like. Man you are so blessed with good food
Bonsieur Monsieur .. and welcome back to you Mr Max .. loved watching your lifestyle documentary video channel and you speak very good Vietnamese .. appreciate most of your spectacular beautiful shooting adventures street food travel, keep it up Sir and take care of yourself over there and stay safe .. Merci beaucoup from Montreal QC Canada ..
Max this was wholesomeAF, Buddy Boiii.. Your calm demeanour and chill humour exhibits a high level of situational awareness -- BIG FAN OF HUMANS SPREADING HUMANITY!!!Loved all your vids in India and southeast Asia series-- I WISH YOU WELL ..THANK YOU!!
Well done video. What you're doing here is much the same as my visit to Sicily where I broke away from any tourist lanes and spent all my time deep in the interior life of the Sicilian mountain and country communities. The people eventually opened up to me and I enjoyed the richness of their very different villages. Once you make that connection, they rush in to overfeed you and share what it is they do such as art, music, etc.
Great video as always Max! I love it when you show your interactions with the locals. And, it's incredible how they roast the coffee beans; they are true artisans.
It's pretty apparent the locals sense a genuine kindred spirit and respond. I envy your mastery of their language but even more, envy how easily you connect with people. It's a rare and beautiful trait.
It’s really pleasure to watch your video, for me I can understand conversations in VN, and for my kids they can understand when you speak in English, so it’s a win-win for us, all thanks to your lovely videos. Thanks Max💐🌾and also surprisingly, you adapt soo…well in the Vietnamese culture, even better than us👏🤭😍
I like that you're just chillin' there, not trying to surprise people for clicks- the latter, done by other creators, is entertaining but can get obnoxious.
Wow i just discovered your channel and i can't stop watching your videos, just addicting lol I can't wait to get to Saigon to try all that delicious food 🤩
Max, I replaced and listened to what the coffee lady said, 7 - 8 times. She did not call you "Mất dạy" . She said "Tui già rồi". Her heavy southern accent and the way she pressed down the word "Gìa" made it sounds like "Dìa" and that sounded like "Dạy".
Wow you truly are Vietnamese with your love for bitter melon 😭😂 your knowledge and descriptions for Vietnamese food and just food in general is so great, and always makes me miss my moms cooking. Keep up the great vids!
You have such a wonderful demeanor. I hope to learn all the languages I can someday, it’s such a gift to be able to communicate with so many different people and cultures!
The 50 something years old lady didn't call you "mất dạy", which is a very insulting phrase to say someone is rude, without good parenting. She said she was old, "chị già rồi"
First time watching your podcast, and just enjoyed it so much! From a new fan living in NYC but trying to convince my wifey to visit Asia, with Vietnam as one of the beautiful cities on my bucket list. Will keep watching your content- very refreshing and authentic dude! ❤❤❤
I really like your shows because you go to the roadside stands to eat what the average people there eat everyday instead of the expensive restaurants. Furthermore, you only order what can consume unlike some of the other big name foodies who would order a HUGE meal and waste over 95% of it.
I enjoyed watching this very much, it is heartwarming. It is also good to hear you speak local language as it shows the Vietnamese character exchanged for us to better understand. I have always had respect for Vietnam etc. I have thought to travel there. Of course the food and drink i will love.
Wait...I had no idea they added butter to the coffee. Is it clarified butter? I wish I'd known about this area when I was there; I stayed in District 3. I loved getting to know the people in the neighborhood; even after only a few weeks it felt like it was becoming "home." I was about to say "wait, nobody asked you if you're married," but there it was. 😀 Great episode!
Wow anh làm cafe dễ thương ghê, giải thích cặn kẽ và thật thà. Max thì khỏi khen 😅 Oh Max ơi chè bánh lọt hột lựu. Gọi hột lựu vì hột vuông và trong giống hột trái lựu (pomegranate).
Usually i love ur food videos but watching u interacting with Vietnamese people its heartwarming to see

Well done video. What you're doing here is much the same as my visit to Sicily where I broke away from any tourist lanes and spent all my time deep in the interior life of the Sicilian mountain and country communities. The people eventually opened up to me and I enjoyed the richness of their very different villages. Once you make that connection, they rush in to overfeed you and share what it is they do such as art, music, etc.
So chill & cool. My favorite episode.
This is a very interesting video
Love the people and how well you communicate with everyone 🎉
Great video as always Max! I love it when you show your interactions with the locals. And, it's incredible how they roast the coffee beans; they are true artisans.
It's pretty apparent the locals sense a genuine kindred spirit and respond. I envy your mastery of their language but even more, envy how easily you connect with people. It's a rare and beautiful trait.
It’s really pleasure to watch your video, for me I can understand conversations in VN, and for my kids they can understand when you speak in English, so it’s a win-win for us, all thanks to your lovely videos. Thanks Max💐🌾and also surprisingly, you adapt soo…well in the Vietnamese culture, even better than us👏🤭😍
Loved this. I am an Australian learning tieng Viet and really want to make it to fluency. Watching you makes me think I will never get there!
I was growing up with that kind of coffee and missed it so much ❤
I like that you're just chillin' there, not trying to surprise people for clicks- the latter, done by other creators, is entertaining but can get obnoxious.
Vietnamese people 💛🧡❤love Americans very much.
i love the vibe. this is the first video of yours that ive seen and i like it all from start to end. just chilling with locals and living the life.
Wow i just discovered your channel and i can't stop watching your videos, just addicting lol
I can't wait to get to Saigon to try all that delicious food 🤩
I love your content. Such an honest description of food/drink. ❤❤❤
Max, I replaced and listened to what the coffee lady said, 7 - 8 times. She did not call you "Mất dạy" . She said "Tui già rồi". Her heavy southern accent and the way she pressed down the word "Gìa" made it sounds like "Dìa" and that sounded like "Dạy".
Wow you truly are Vietnamese with your love for bitter melon 😭😂 your knowledge and descriptions for Vietnamese food and just food in general is so great, and always makes me miss my moms cooking. Keep up the great vids!
Max dễ thương quá,đi đâu ai cũng quý.❤
Your bantering with the locals is adorb! ❤
Đúng phong cách người Việt. Vô chợ xà vào quán ăn xong đi ra là phải xà qua quán chè xong mới chịu về 😂😂
You have such a wonderful demeanor. I hope to learn all the languages I can someday, it’s such a gift to be able to communicate with so many different people and cultures!
The 50 something years old lady didn't call you "mất dạy", which is a very insulting phrase to say someone is rude, without good parenting. She said she was old, "chị già rồi"
Thank you for sharing Max . Tuổi thơ của Thi là bưng cafe cho khách 1983.
You're so well liked at the marketplace, they're all at awe with your Vietnamese language & eating skills
From what I hear, Vietnam 🇻🇳 is full of such generous and hospitable people. Even without videos like these, I still believe it.
Max rất sành và am hiểu về ẩm thực , cảm nhận cũng như cách thưởng thức đồ ăn uống rất tốt !
First time watching your podcast, and just enjoyed it so much! From a new fan living in NYC but trying to convince my wifey to visit Asia, with Vietnam as one of the beautiful cities on my bucket list. Will keep watching your content- very refreshing and authentic dude! ❤❤❤
MM sành ăn ghê,nói tiếng Việt giỏi quá,bạn ấy đi đâu cũng được đón tiếp tại VN,chúc MM luôn hạnh phúc v an lành❤
I really like your shows because you go to the roadside stands to eat what the average people there eat everyday instead of the expensive restaurants. Furthermore, you only order what can consume unlike some of the other big name foodies who would order a HUGE meal and waste over 95% of it.
I enjoyed watching this very much, it is heartwarming. It is also good to hear you speak local language as it shows the Vietnamese character exchanged for us to better understand. I have always had respect for Vietnam etc.
I have thought to travel there. Of course the food and drink i will love.
Wait...I had no idea they added butter to the coffee. Is it clarified butter?
I wish I'd known about this area when I was there; I stayed in District 3. I loved getting to know the people in the neighborhood; even after only a few weeks it felt like it was becoming "home."
I was about to say "wait, nobody asked you if you're married," but there it was. 😀
Great episode!
This is the best video that I have watched on TH-cam in a long time.
Wow anh làm cafe dễ thương ghê, giải thích cặn kẽ và thật thà.
Max thì khỏi khen 😅
Oh Max ơi chè bánh lọt hột lựu. Gọi hột lựu vì hột vuông và trong giống hột trái lựu (pomegranate).
