In general, when looking up new words, I use more "in-language" definitions when my mental energy is high and translation to English when my mental energy is lower . Also if an "in language" definition is difficult-to- comprehend to me, I give it up and use a bilingual -to- english translation. You shouldn't have to work too hard for a definition. Managing your mental energy balance in learning a language is a bit of an art.
As a European person who has been learning Vietnamese for almost three years as well, I found it pretty useful to watch the BLV Hải Thanh group of channels. They're really interesting but of course you would need to be at least a B1 to watch any of them, however there's still an order of difficulty that in my opinion would be: 1 BLV Hải Thanh Story: the easiest, this one is about geography and the various countries. Images help a lot and you can find out about little known countries. 2 BLV Hải Thanh Facts: medium, about various curiosities on strange events, religion etc... 3 BLV Hải Thanh History: hard work here, a lot of history-specific vocabulary which originates from Chinese. Worth to give a try though. Disclaimer: I swear they're not paying me (; I loved this video a involuntarily laughed at the glosbe one because I'm obsessed with it.
Your videos always give me something new.....the Google image idea is awesome! I have been using Duolingo for a couple of years. It's free and forces spaced repitition on lower level words and phrases as you progress to higher level. In Vietnamese you can build a vocabulary of about 1600 words including grammar structures, and remember to ALWAYS use the keyboard to type the answers in Vietnamese to practice spelling. And you can shadow (mimic) the native speaker for pronunciation practice. (10 -15 minutes everyday with my morning coffee.) I found flashcards are good for specific lists, like days of the week, numbers or medical things.
Seeing a foreigner so proficient in what I view as a dauntingly difficult language is inspirational. And excellent break down of a brilliant framework. Nothing I could add except that I love finding music I can enjoy in my target language. Music has a magical way of sticking in your head, and when you hear a word you've reviewed, it's reinforced every time you enjoy the song.
Absolutely brilliant video! Being able to hear John's experiences and advice was incredibly inspirational. I love how he provided honest feedback on the different methods that he has tried (I liked how he had a system for finding new vocabulary and learning it before reinforcing it. This way of capturing and reinforcing new vocab was something that I was overthinking and I like how simple or varied it can be depending on the person. Thank you John and TVO for sharing this incredibly helpful and inspirational video!
Thanks so much for the guidance, here! So much of what you mentioned I've found to be the case as well and I'm looking forward to trying some of the new ideas as well.
Your deep dives are so interesting and helpful, thanks! Good point about using Google images. I actually used it before a little bit as a way to practice with the names of some of the fish commonly found in Vietnam. Since we don't have the same fish here (not even close!) just writing down the English names on flash cards was completely useless to me. I think I'll try to use Google images more thanks to your suggestion. Also, watching videos on TVO is a way that I learn vocabulary! Sometimes I watch very actively (slowing down the video, pausing and rewinding a lot, taking notes, etc.) and sometimes I just let the videos play while doing other things. I like that your channel has playlists so I can just turn one on and let it run - who knows how many times I've "watched" some of your videos lol.
Thank you for explaining your process. What about intensive language schools for students eager to learn at a fast pace, minimum 3 to 4 hours of class (not in or near a TVO location yet want in person instructions/lessons in Vietnam) instruction per day for 3 to 4 months? Best Regards

Thanks for this, some great tips I hadn't thought of. Especially the netflix one! I have started reading a couple of Vietnamese novels and textbooks related to things I am interested in, and write down/look up new words. Then just try to make new sentences with those words and use them in conversation. Question: Do you have any good film recommendations with Northern accent? So far I have watched Chuyện Của Pao, Ghên and a couple of low quality TV series from the early 2000s. Any recommendations welcome, as most films I have enjoyed are Southern accent and I struggle! Thank you!
Ms Huyền is still teaching at TVO, but now she's not available for more classes. TVO has many other enthusiastic and qualified teachers. Please contact us to schedule a trial lesson: ✉Email: info@tiengvietoi.com ☎Phone: 090 224 89 53 or visit our website www.tiengvietoi.com/upcoming-...
My big concern in studied Vietnamese is that there appears to be two completely different versions of the language. Do i learn Southern first and adapt to Northern? Or do I choose a version depending on which part of the country i am most likely to visit?
Hi, I'm Thanh - a teacher from TVO, in my opinion, you should learn the accent of the part of the country you're most likely to visit. There're 2 major accents, northern (typically Hanoi) and southern (typically Ho Chi Minh). At TVO, we have teachers that can help with either accent, contact us through our website to get more assistance. Good luck
Today, I joined Netflix because of your suggestion that it offers films and shows in Vietnamese with Vietnamese subtitles. This is indeed a great way not only to increase vocabulary, but also to improve listening skills. Unfortunately, I found out right away that this is not possible for people who are in the United States. So I cancelled my Netflix account immediately. But if you have any recommendation for other sources of films and shows in Vietnamese with good subtitles that can be watched in the USA, I'd be grateful. Or maybe someone else who follows TVO and reads my question? There are many Vietnamese films on TH-cam that have computer-generated Vietnamese subtitles, but those do more harm than good!
I've had that issue with netflix before! Fortunately there does seem to be a trick you can do to choose your subtitle language. Here's a tutorial that might help: th-cam.com/video/8G3GQadpmu0/w-d-xo.html
My first impression of Anki is that it is excellent for Vietnamese learning English, but not so good the other way around. There aren't many 'decks' with Vietnamese pronunciation.
Lol thanks after watching this i went to sleep and in the next morning i was fluently in Vietnamese , but after thinking a moment i just realized that I'm Vietnamese lol
now im here for 1 year.. i tried learn from books.. nothing my wife isnt a big help and self study doesnt work on me. 😁 im german speaker.. so tranlate to english and vietnamese maybe with 49 years soon its to late
i ưatch movies with subs on phimmoi and likes of that, movies that im obviuosly obseesed with, otherwise it dont make sense, same for books. do not agree there that high level books are too much for beginner, u can read books within yiur vocab capasity, reread them every second week so that it works like Anki. all the new vocab has to be assosiated to its meaning, basically if i learn a new word, i connect thw tone the meaning tge structure of tge word abd then fiddling with ut in my head, walkie taljie to myself. if i forget it then next time i see it (for sure in a span of few days) ill memorize way better

cảm ơn John. những video này rất hữu ích. Mình chưa dùng Anki, nhưng mình sẽ thử.
Mình nghĩ viết câu với từ mới rất hữu ích để nhớ từ mới
Can you share a good Anki deck of vietnamese language?
Những sáng tác của Sỹ Luân nghe mãi ko phai.. Phúc hát rất hay và ấm áp
This guy is just awesome
Thanks so much for the guidance, here! So much of what you mentioned I've found to be the case as well and I'm looking forward to trying some of the new ideas as well.
Wow nghe John noi rung la nguoi Viet (bac), qua gioi

Very relevant video. Thanks!
Any Anki deck you'd recommand us for intermediate level?
same question, any decks we can use luôn d ko
So cool to see westerner speakimg Viet.
Just like the Australian man in Queensland who speaks Vietnamese without living in Vietnam
Does anyone know how to get Vietnamese subtitles for Netflix? It’s not on any shows that I can find, even when I connect to Vietnam on a VPN.
Change your language app into Vietnamese

@@JH-ty2cs Thank you for your response. I guess I will then have to wait with Netflix until I am in Vietnam!
My first impression of Anki is that it is excellent for Vietnamese learning English, but not so good the other way around. There aren't many 'decks' with Vietnamese pronunciation.
This is true - there are very few good English-Vietnamese Anki decks. You'll have to make it yourself, for now.
You can just make your own decks
@@olivereckert2492 Good point... and perhaps another excellent way to learn the language 👍
@@hackalandy it’s actually better if you make them yourself cause you already learn in the process making them
Lol thanks after watching this i went to sleep and in the next morning i was fluently in Vietnamese , but after thinking a moment i just realized that I'm Vietnamese lol
i think that works for anyone, who knows who we were in kiếp tr lol i think i ưas ng viet
bro, where's your t-shirt?)
không biết sao youtube giới thiệu video này. Mình biết tiếng việt rồi mà 😜
now im here for 1 year.. i tried learn from books.. nothing
my wife isnt a big help and self study doesnt work on me. 😁
im german speaker.. so tranlate to english and vietnamese
maybe with 49 years soon its to late
The room has too much echo and it is very hard to clearly hear what you are saying.
Thank you for your feedback! :)
