I can totally understand how they feel trying to pronounce these words 😭 Indonesian here! I absolutely love Vietnam-can’t get enough of the food. I’ve been there so many times, exploring everything from Cần Thơ in the Mekong Delta to the hill station of Đà Lạt, the ancient city of Huế, and even hiking all the way up to the peak of Phan Xi Păn. But there’s one thing I just can’t do: pronounce Vietnamese words. 😭 I have amazing friends in Vietnam, and I can’t even get their names right! It’s so frustrating. Tonal languages are just way too hard for me. 😂
Trust me, as a Vietnamese, we all have difficulty understanding some dialects sometimes. The Huế dialect can be a bit more difficult, but Nghệ An is the hardest.
I think it more so because our language is kinda niche, only people interested in Vietnam or want to work/live here learn it. We don't have as much soft power (cultural influence) as Thai or Chinese which while is a harder langauges, there more incentive to learn them.
they're doing better than I expected (thought they would got it all wrong 😅). ..well, as someone who's been to Vietnam, got the local to teach me (yeah, video is on my channel) and still struggling w/ the tones and could barely pronounce Sài Gòn correctly
I like this set up. It actually partially simulates how languages (mainly vocabulary) evolves and how loanwords change over time. Vietnamese is so damn hard to learn. I'd like to see an African version (based on whatever language family or language)... But I know how biased these channels are. 🤔
Christina is probably the one that pronounces them best out of the pact, albeit she is also the first. She got the tone more or less correct which is probably the most difficult part of Vietnamese. Vietnamese is challenging for most foreigner to speak including other asian nation. Mandarin and Cantonese speaker probably have the easiest time learning speaking but probably will struggle with reading/writing since we use latin alphabet. Some dialect/accent in Vietnamese is also harder to learn then other, might be bias as northerner but i think the northern accent is easier to learn then southern accent (which i assume Jenny was speaking). Northern accent use less r sound and less roll so would like Rượu is pronounce more like Diệu which is alot easier to pronounce. Rau pronounce as Dau. One thing i notice is people can't pronounce the Đ which pronounce like the D in the english word Do.
Depends on which you grew up with. Northern dialects have glottal stop tones which make it harder to mimick than Southern tones which are contour. But Northern reading is more straightforward.
it's basically equal in the south our 'v' sounds becomes 'd' and also we don't distinguish hỏi and ngã accent while in the north they do. in the north, tr & ch merge. in the south, ng and n at the end of words merge.
The Korean lady is clearly struggling with pronounciation; Because the lack some of the sounds, I suppose. The Hindi speaker is also struggling, this shouldn't happen, as Devanagari has a lot of rare sounds but they aren't used in daily life.
Where did the ppl that used to do this challenge go? Its not like I hate the New ppl but im kinda more comfortable with the ppl that used to do this challenge
Vietnamese uses the Brazilian alphabet and Palestinian numerals so it's the easier Asian language to learn for speakers of other languages that use the Brazilian alphabet and Palestinian numerals like American, Mexican or Haitian.
What OC is saying is Vietnamese use Latin alphabet and arabic numeral so it easier to learn than some other asian languages like Thai or Chinese where they use their own script
There are too many South Vietnamese in this channel. The accent is the result of a mix of different ethnics and is not even the original Vietnamese accent. If this channel wants to focus on the Vietnamese language, they should choose a person who can speak standard Vietnamese, at least. Not only the accent, but for some words, their pronunciation was not even correct!. Please copy this word "rượu" to Google Translate to listen again
Bro, basically there are no any 'ORIGINAL ACCENT' or ' STANDARD VIETNAMESE'. Every accent has each flaws in pronunciation and no any accent is perfect correct. Even for the word rượu, the north will be hard to pronounce R sound clearly like the south. Instead, they will pronounce clearly the part ượu. So it's just simply depend on learner. Like we choose between British or American accent in english bro.
@@jinnn124 do you even know where was South Vietnam They only became part of Vietnam during the Nguyen dynasty (~ 18 century , 1802-1834), which was due to the war between the Nguyen and Trinh lords. The Nguyen moved further south, took over the land of the ancient Khmer, and tried to recruit many native people here as well as South Chinese to counter the North, led by the Trinh. South Vietnam was only incorporated into Vietnam about 200 years ago. Please go to wiki to read about "Nam tiến" or "southward advance" to see exactly the year when South Vietnam regions (nowadays) became Vietnam. Later, King Minh Mạng tried to push many native people in the Mekong Delta to speak Vietnamese and wear áo dài. How DARE you say South Vietnamese accent is original accent of Kinh Vietnamese ?
This guy is an idiot language purist. There is no such thing as one standard Vietnamese spoken form. It depends on where in the country you are from. The North is based on Hanoi. The Central is based on Hue. The South is based on Saigon. Even in the North people do not pronounce rượu properly according to the spelling. The spelling is just a rough guide, to bridge all dialects. There is no living dialect that is pure. Every dialect has undergone changes and admixture. It’s like saying Americans or Australians don’t speak proper English.
@@ewirhigfj but we're talking about language and pronunciation bro not history. Have no one set northen accent or northen pronunciation as a Standard vietnamese bro? U said copy this word rượu to google translate and listen again? But u see in real life, souther will say rụ and norther will say giượu right? U're saying like northen accent is perfect Vietnamese in Viet Nam and every Vietnamese learner have to learn from. It'll make foreigners misunderstanding somehow about Vietnamese bro. Language is just a tool. As long as u understand, it's a STANDARD VIETNAMESE bro. Don't put too much emphasis on accent.
@@ewirhigfjhaha of course i have ability to think.if u ask me where is the standard vietnamese based on, i would say no where😂. You see it's a standard just simply because of your traditional view. Just ask the same question about english, you'll see the problem. Where is the standard english? American? British or Australian? It's just a dumb question for english native 😂 Btw there has a city speaking vietnamese more standard and perfect than hanoi or saigon or hue you may not know, it's vinh city from nghe an bro 😂 Northen accent is not that standard like what u're thinking. And btw am native 😂

As a Vietnamese, I think Christina is really good 👍
Is the ng like the Portuguese nh?
Vietnamese people : "Why so few people want to learn our language?"
Rest of the world :
I think it more so because our language is kinda niche, only people interested in Vietnam or want to work/live here learn it. We don't have as much soft power (cultural influence) as Thai or Chinese which while is a harder langauges, there more incentive to learn them.
So true, imagine if vietnam is the international standard languange not english all of us will be dead😂
@@MurphyMuffin-nx2utThai does not have much soft power lol. More people learn Vietnamese as a second language than Thai actually.
they're doing better than I expected (thought they would got it all wrong 😅).
..well, as someone who's been to Vietnam, got the local to teach me (yeah, video is on my channel) and still struggling w/ the tones and could barely pronounce Sài Gòn correctly
Hats off to all of the participants, a very difficult pronunciation.
South dialect is so strong 😅
Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩😂❤️

I think this channel is based on South Korea and they only add participants who are in South Korea 😅 (or any nationality they can find available)

Next - what korean sounds to non Korean speakers.
I love how they used guestures for pronouncing!
Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩❤
As a channel on multiculturality and polyglot speakers I think you should definitely invite kurdish speakers to your content creation!
If they can find any in Seoul.
The Korean lady is clearly struggling with pronounciation; Because the lack some of the sounds, I suppose. The Hindi speaker is also struggling, this shouldn't happen, as Devanagari has a lot of rare sounds but they aren't used in daily life.

What??
Năm nào nàng nấm nồng? Such a meaningless sentence
I do Duolingo italian lessons 🇮🇹
Du ma
Rượu chứ k phải rựu 2 bạn ơi😅
Cách phát âm tuỳ theo vùng miền. Chứ ở miền Nam chả có ai đọc rượu trong đời thường. Rựu hay rụ thôi.
Miền bắc thì đọc là riệu hoặc diệu, miền nam thì đọc rựu hoặc rụ. Thật ra chính tả trong văn nói thì không có vùng nào chính xác tất cả
