I was at Charles de Gaulle Airport with my mum and we got lost a bit. We’re Vietnamese - French. A very tall black guy came to us and started to chat with us in perfect Vietnamese to help us. My mother nearly felt to the floor too. That was hilarious.
Being able to speak other languages is a gift, and my favourite thing is to speak with the old people that live in my region, because hardly anyone my age speaks my dialect, only the old people do, which is sad, but it sure brightens up the days of the old people. To see them smile and talk normally like they did when they were kids, growing up. And yet my government doesn't even recognize either one of the last 3 remaining dialects of my language, at all. It's so sad because while there might only be 10-15K speakers left of all the dialects, in 10-20 years I believe it would only be 1K actual speakers left. To speak with people in their native tongue, speaks to their hearts. No matter where you are, or where you live, if one can learn another language, one can almost guarantee that one could brighten up another person's day, and if we all would put in that effort to brighten up someone's day, we'd get closer and closer to world peace.
I can't speak for other language but the Vietnamese accent of most foreigner (including Peter here) are consider adorable (in a child-like, innocent, harmless kinda way). That's why you see a lot of people smile and being cheerful when they hear foreigner speak Vietnamese for the first time, like how react to your children first words.
My sister and I don't speak Vietnamese. It's sad but we came to the USA 2 yrs before all of the boat people. We had to learn english fast because we had to go to school in a week, it was very stressful as a child to learn a new language that fast. I remember crying trying to remember the alphabet.
Of course I was just joking and as I mentioned before we had a very lovely chat. It's really sad to hear what you are saying and I understand it. We cannot project our own experiences onto someone else's life expecting similar outcomes simply because their story is different and has shaped them in a completely unique way. That’s why every person should think twice before judging someone. All love
when you are vietnamese, its in your genes, you could learn everything what you want, just because you want to learn it. yeah its difficult, but... i'm vietnamese, was born in germany 39 years ago, i can read, speak and sing vietnamese, i learnt it by myself. just like you are learning another language exept your "native language" which is american englisch, right? never give up *fighting*. believe in yourself
I don't understand why people are shocked that a third generation immigrant doesn't speak their native tongue. I don't speak French or German. Heck, even a large percentage of 3rd generation Mexican immigrants in the U.S. don't speak Spanish.
Asian culture is different... you wouldn't understand and i would never ask you to. You ask a good question but it's difficult to explain without stepping on any toes.
It’s good to learn languages, I’m a first generation Vietnamese even I can speak Spanish a little bit. Start the kids off young, little toddlers can learn four or five languages at one time.
@@shinrsc I don't think you understand. In fact, Japan is less apt to speak another language other than Japanese. The same cannot be said of the U.S. as they are more diverse. Now, by the third generation, chances are that no native tongue will be spoken. It's not a definitive conclusion but you'll find it to be true. And that includes Asian cultures.
Great to see people reaction in your video. I watched a video from a US guy met another Belgian one in Laos and they spoke Vietnamese with Laos people and each other. It's really fun and heart warming ^^
Wow, your linguistic skills are impressive. I know some Polish friends who have a Pole accent when speaking English.. Your command of English & Viet is superb. When u can speak another person’s language, u can cultivate a deeper understanding, empathy & connection with that person. Bravo 💕
Thank you mate! :) You can't fully understand a culture and its people on a deeper level without speaking their language. You are correct. It's a significant reason behind learning the language. The number of times I've been cold approached and witnessed the change in people's faces once I started speaking their native tongue is priceless. It truly creates a connection on a deeper level. Regarding my Vietnamese it's not even close to my English even though it may seem that way. But slowly slowly I'm getting there (maybe in a few years lol). There are a few more foreign TH-camrs recording in Vietnamese in Vietnam with way better Vietnamese skills but in my case all I want to do is just put a smile on people's faces :)
Peter, you're speaking Vietnamese with a northern Vietnamese accent. Sounds good. Good job. You must have learn when you were in northern part "Mien Bac".
@@MinhTran-fc7jl It is a little hard to understand. Half of it has to do with a bad audio quality. I had a listen a few times to hear what he was saying. But I have give props to him even trying to speak our language. Half of Vietnamese growing up in America can't even speak Vietnamese.

1:01 Imagine seeing a foreigner speaking YOUR language and you can not reply to him because you don’t know it and you call someone to translate your language to you. I would literally give my left arm and not experience this kind of embarrassment.
That's me honestly. Parents are Taiwan Hong Kong but I can only speak English. I don't have any friends to practice and I am so busy I don't have time to go to school or take classes. I am just grateful my English is amazing so I tell myself it's a trade for having 1 perfect language instead of 3 moderate languages (English, Mandarin, Cantonese)
you did so good. don't be surprised, when we live for too long or second/third generation outside, it's hard to keep the language. but it is really cool
wow, ale super :) chętnie bym obejrzała filmiki o Wietnamie okiem Polaka, który pokochał ten kraj :) Podziel się z nami swoją wiedzą i spostrzeżeniami :)
So funny how they react. Im glad I live in California where there are so many different cultures. I know a bit of different Asian languages because of coworkers or friends. It’s so cool to also have Asian food from different countries and eat it like it’s part of my culture.
Vietnamese people call it that because it's easier for foreigners to pronounce than the Vietnamese name for it, which is "trung vit lon" or "hot vit long". It's fertilized duck egg...less fertilized than the Filipino version.
Mostly immigrant children abandon their native tongue. sometimes second generation or third will return to their roots in time to make their grandparents or great-grandparents happy. It’s a lot to manage the racism here in the US. It drains the energy. As you say, the language is the key to the culture. I speak Spanish and Arabic, and surprise native speakers. I’ve even had family translators, when I worked as an RN (now retired) re-translate in my same words what I’ve said in Spanish because their brain rejected the idea I was speaking Spanish.

2:04 lool look how she looks at him like : wtf did i do wrong with my life to not even speak my parent's language & this guy just lil Mr perfect over here :) :)
A couple years ago, I was flying on Delta from Atlanta to Tokyo, sitting next to a Japanese woman. The caucasian male flight attendant me asked what I wanted for dinner and I told him. He then turned to the Japanese woman and asked her, in Japanese, what she wanted. She beamed and they carried on a conversation for a while. I asked her if his Japanese was good and she said it was perfect and that he was a native speaker as he was born in Japan to a US military officer/Japanese mother and lived there until he went to the US for college.
Thanks for inspiring me to learn a new language😊 (actually trying to learn Polish for 2 months know😅) ow and how did you learn vietnamese In terms of methods
I’m Tunisian and German and people are always shocked when I speak in perfect accent free Arabic bc I just don’t look Tunisian lmao as soon as I also speak fluent accent free German, French and English tho, they absolutely lose it. I’m so grateful to my parents and extended family for raising me with three languages. It opens so many doors for me and made is so much easier for me to learn English on my own.
I don’t offer any tutoring except sharing my personal advice and resources: A lot of patience, emotional attachment to a language and learning materials, not falling for all those “How to be fluent in 30 days” scams and understanding that listening is more important than speaking paradoxically. I’am not a big fan of textbooks and apps. Speaking comes fast once your listening skills are on the right lvl. This is how you can learn Vietnamese but I believe you can apply this to other languages: GRAMMAR: Find the target accent you want to learn and learn grammar and some phrases from TH-cam. For the Northern accent check out "Tieng Viet Oi". For the Southern accent try "How To Vietnamese" and "Learn Vietnamese With Annie". SPEAKING: What people very often don't understand is that speaking is not as important as listening. Once your listening skills are good being thrown into speaking for a few weeks with a native speaker works like magic. So after a few months of YT and VTV/Netflix use iTalki with a native speaker teacher who has the target accent (ONLY use Vietnamese to communicate, even if you only know a few words, and they will try to explain in English. Quick explanations are okay but avoid relying on English for 80% of the time) LISTENING: Use the VTV app for the Northern accent (no subtitles at all :/) and Netflix for the Southern accent (use ONLY Vietnamese subtitles no English even if you understand 0%) I know it's going to be hard at the beginning. Trust me I understand the pain. When you go outside to buy something and no one understands you even though you are 100% sure you said it correctly it can be frustrating. We are simply not used to speaking tonal languages but it gets easier. In a world filled with quick shots of dopamine we struggle to focus on one task for a longer period but those who are patient are the ones who succeed. Be patient. You will get there soon; just keep practicing every day for about 2 hours and believe me it's not much if you really want to learn. As for spare time you can always find it. Good luck!
Her parents are from Vietnam, or at least her grandparents, but she only can understand a little of it, not speak. The restaurant is vietnamese, and the waiter don't speak vietnamese, but she is descendant of vietnamese, that's why Maia say It is ironic.
@@Yuribrgamer11 i think he was just helping her sister to wind her up; it's obviously understandable for someone to only speak the language of the country they've lived in their whole life.
Everyone all grew up in their respective environments. You may think it is "disappointing", but it is a reality that us Vietnamese born overseas all don't have the fortune to have been raised in the language environment that you think we were supposed to be raised in.
When I was a much younger man, my best friend was Vietnamese. I don't know how to write it, but I can spell it phonetically. No-ee ding Viet-nam, duck cohmp? Duck juup juup.
Did you just refuse Jackfruit at 7:28?! My filipino half cries in agony! I dont eat fruit either. But Jackfruit is the exception! It's the kiss from the gods!
There is already Chris Lewis who I think is the American celebrity in Vietnam. His accent is just perfect. If you closed your eyes, you wouldn’t be able to tell he was white with ginger hair.😂
There is another guy named Max who is improving his Vietnamese quickly. Then there is a guy named Phúc Mập who I have a hard time understanding. His accent needs some work, but he is very knowledgeable.
@@inquisitvem6723 You are absolutely correct. My Vietnamese is not even close to Chris's or Phúc Mập's. The only thing I am doing is recording those videos just for fun while doing my regular job. If someone wants to hear some proper Vietnamese this channel is definitely not the way to go :)
@@inquisitvem6723 Yeah, Phuc Map's cadence/rhythm can be very robotic and his tonality can be all over the place. He's improved a lot over the past 2 years, but considering how long he's lived there and is married to a Vietnamese woman, he should be way better than that. But he's trying.
A young lady from Belgium. She asked for help in Turkish at Antalya airport. In fact, at that moment I was a passenger who would fly to a foreign country in a few hours. I was amazed at how well he spoke Turkish. He was going to South Korea via Istanbul. I couldn't believe it! He actually showed his ticket: Istanbul-Korea. I told him that he would be flying domestically and that he should go to the international terminal from Istanbul. Since her flight was close to departure, I waited for him to go through the security check immediately. I told the officer inside where to go and asked his to guide her. It would have been really difficult for me if the young lady could not understand the conversation there and asked for help in English. Anyway, I hope she had a good trip. But I believe that one day people will wake up and speak the same language.

Totally agree, Nuoc Mam in Vietnam was excellent. Tried in the US when I got home, and .... NOPE. Even from Vietnamese restaurants or grocery stores. Nope.
There are two reasons why in most cases you will see me not having food: 1. There are moments when I visit plenty of restaurants in a single day and simply can't fit any more food into my stomach 2 To be completely honest, I'm not a big fan of Vietnamese food, but that's just my personal taste. Every foreign friend I have absolutely loves it Thank you mate 😁💯
The comment about her parents must be very disappointed was kind of a self-righteous, shaming thing to say. She felt diminished and started cleaning the table.
Just an example: When you call someone in Vietnam fat, it means you care about that person's health. In the West, it means you are shaming that person. I've lived in many places in my life, and trust me, the form of shaming you described only exists in the West, my friend. My main top comment in the short video from this situation I uploaded a month ago: "Ofc I was just joking. I wasn't judging her at all. We had a very nice and warm conversation in the extended version which will be released in few days :)" We had a very lovely conversation after that, and that is all that matters. All love
I've also spent time in several Asian countries and was married to a woman from SE Asia for many years and interacted with family and community. I can say that shaming exists everywhere. And just look at the girl's demeanor and you can see that she felt ashamed. I appreciate that we can have different points of view about it and I honor that your intention is love. Best wishes.
Based on her reaction, as a Vietnamese born & living in Hanoi, I don't think that was shaming. She even called her mom to tell the story. I myself might also say that in similar situations as a joke.
@@PeterViet no lol, it's a kind of toxic culture in the same way as many other East Asians who think being thin to the point of anorexia is "healthy". Not every Vietnamese is gonna agree with being called fat.
In the East, unsolicited criticism can be interpreted as a sign of good will. In the West, unsolicited criticism is viewed as a sign of antagonism. The lady was obviously raised in the Western world with a Western-leaning mindset. That "criticism" was also borderline mockery. How do you think it made her feel?
Peter ơi, Cho cô hỏi cô muốn biết shop bán thực phẩm Việt Nam này ở đâu để đi mua. Cô sống ở West London. Tiếng Việt của Peter quá tuyệt vời. Cô cám ơn Peter nhiều.❤❤
I'm the who-knows generation of Chinese descendant here in Indonesia. Chinese people here just got their freedom for last 25 years from prohibition of chinese culture related things (no chinese name, no chinese language learning, chinese festival etc) resulting many of my generations can't speak Chinese language (Mandarin), so i understand the struggle of the lady. Anyway i wish to marry mandarin able speaking lady, so at least my family later could be able to speaking mandarin.

You don’t have to throw it to her face-she doesn’t speak Vietnamese-big effin deal.
thanks bro 🥲
I’m a half Viet girl and have always wanted to learn the beautiful language. Do you offer online tutoring, or know of any resources?
I don’t offer any tutoring except sharing my personal advice and resources:
A lot of patience, emotional attachment to a language and learning materials, not falling for all those “How to be fluent in 30 days” scams and understanding that listening is more important than speaking paradoxically. I’am not a big fan of textbooks and apps. Speaking comes fast once your listening skills are on the right lvl. This is how you can learn Vietnamese but I believe you can apply this to other languages:
GRAMMAR: Find the target accent you want to learn and learn grammar and some phrases from TH-cam. For the Northern accent check out "Tieng Viet Oi". For the Southern accent try "How To Vietnamese" and "Learn Vietnamese With Annie".
SPEAKING: What people very often don't understand is that speaking is not as important as listening. Once your listening skills are good being thrown into speaking for a few weeks with a native speaker works like magic. So after a few months of YT and VTV/Netflix use iTalki with a native speaker teacher who has the target accent (ONLY use Vietnamese to communicate, even if you only know a few words, and they will try to explain in English. Quick explanations are okay but avoid relying on English for 80% of the time)
LISTENING: Use the VTV app for the Northern accent (no subtitles at all :/) and Netflix for the Southern accent (use ONLY Vietnamese subtitles no English even if you understand 0%)
I know it's going to be hard at the beginning. Trust me I understand the pain. When you go outside to buy something and no one understands you even though you are 100% sure you said it correctly it can be frustrating. We are simply not used to speaking tonal languages but it gets easier. In a world filled with quick shots of dopamine we struggle to focus on one task for a longer period but those who are patient are the ones who succeed. Be patient. You will get there soon; just keep practicing every day for about 2 hours and believe me it's not much if you really want to learn. As for spare time you can always find it. Good luck!
Maia, the second vietnamese waitress, she's just beautiful
The music at this place is wild. First they play Beach Bunny, then Joy Again!?
Omg dude the wall decor is gorgeous
Finally someone mentioned that 💯
@@PeterViet Lol how could someone not?! 🤣 Absolutely Gorgeous!
I speak việt and I can understand everything you guys literally
I don't understand why Peter was upset that the waitress couldn't speak Vietnamese.
Her parents are from Vietnam, or at least her grandparents, but she only can understand a little of it, not speak.
The restaurant is vietnamese, and the waiter don't speak vietnamese, but she is descendant of vietnamese, that's why Maia say It is ironic.
@@Yuribrgamer11 i think he was just helping her sister to wind her up; it's obviously understandable for someone to only speak the language of the country they've lived in their whole life.
Thật thú vị. HAY. Bạn này nói tiếng việt giỏi và vui.
I love Vietnamese ❤
Im not sure where this video was taken BUT she speaks clean English like a person living around SE England. Respect ✊️😑
I just subscribed because your Vietnamese is very impressive 😊
Thank you! 😊
Everyone all grew up in their respective environments. You may think it is "disappointing", but it is a reality that us Vietnamese born overseas all don't have the fortune to have been raised in the language environment that you think we were supposed to be raised in.
Hes not actually disappointed 💀💀
I got better at vietnamese via Immersive translate. It was literally the best revision platform I ever used.
When I was a much younger man, my best friend was Vietnamese. I don't know how to write it, but I can spell it phonetically. No-ee ding Viet-nam, duck cohmp? Duck juup juup.
That “gosh” killed her 😂
omg i really love your vid,keep it up 💪
Thx mate! 😁
@@PeterViet 😸💛
Just second i heard you speaking vnese , i subscribed
Did you just refuse Jackfruit at 7:28?! My filipino half cries in agony! I dont eat fruit either. But Jackfruit is the exception! It's the kiss from the gods!
Sorry 😄
Just found your channel gained a sub keep it up will blow up forsure! Great content
Is this in Manchester? I seem to remember the buildings in the background I could be mistaken however.
This is the DREAM person I would wish for my children to marry:) someone intelligent, funny, and happy to learn, live, share worldwide cultures:)❤❤❤
Come to Vietnam, you may go viral 😂😢
There is already Chris Lewis who I think is the American celebrity in Vietnam. His accent is just perfect. If you closed your eyes, you wouldn’t be able to tell he was white with ginger hair.😂
There is another guy named Max who is improving his Vietnamese quickly. Then there is a guy named Phúc Mập who I have a hard time understanding. His accent needs some work, but he is very knowledgeable.
@@inquisitvem6723 You are absolutely correct. My Vietnamese is not even close to Chris's or Phúc Mập's. The only thing I am doing is recording those videos just for fun while doing my regular job. If someone wants to hear some proper Vietnamese this channel is definitely not the way to go :)
@@PeterViet Your Vietnamese is actually much better than Phúc Mập.
@@inquisitvem6723 Yeah, Phuc Map's cadence/rhythm can be very robotic and his tonality can be all over the place. He's improved a lot over the past 2 years, but considering how long he's lived there and is married to a Vietnamese woman, he should be way better than that. But he's trying.
A young lady from Belgium. She asked for help in Turkish at Antalya airport. In fact, at that moment I was a passenger who would fly to a foreign country in a few hours. I was amazed at how well he spoke Turkish. He was going to South Korea via Istanbul. I couldn't believe it! He actually showed his ticket: Istanbul-Korea. I told him that he would be flying domestically and that he should go to the international terminal from Istanbul. Since her flight was close to departure, I waited for him to go through the security check immediately. I told the officer inside where to go and asked his to guide her. It would have been really difficult for me if the young lady could not understand the conversation there and asked for help in English. Anyway, I hope she had a good trip. But I believe that one day people will wake up and speak the same language.
Can you please tell me how you learned the language? I want to use your method too

Totally agree, Nuoc Mam in Vietnam was excellent. Tried in the US when I got home, and .... NOPE. Even from Vietnamese restaurants or grocery stores. Nope.
The reaction of that non Vietnamese speaker was very interesting. It was something beyond surprise. There seemed even anger there. Not sure.
Do you only drink tea ?... maybe a suggestion to have a meal so you can have longer conversations ...but I subbed ! Keep up the good work
There are two reasons why in most cases you will see me not having food:
1. There are moments when I visit plenty of restaurants in a single day and simply can't fit any more food into my stomach
2 To be completely honest, I'm not a big fan of Vietnamese food, but that's just my personal taste. Every foreign friend I have absolutely loves it
Thank you mate 😁💯
@@PeterViet ok thanks for clearing that out 😁 I’m looking forward to a new video! ✌️
@@PeterViet I think you might be the first foreigner that can speak Vietnamese but do not like the food.
@@GolfreakPossible lol 😆
Would be better without the narcissism and shaming jokes.
The comment about her parents must be very disappointed was kind of a self-righteous, shaming thing to say. She felt diminished and started cleaning the table.
Just an example: When you call someone in Vietnam fat, it means you care about that person's health. In the West, it means you are shaming that person. I've lived in many places in my life, and trust me, the form of shaming you described only exists in the West, my friend.
My main top comment in the short video from this situation I uploaded a month ago:
"Ofc I was just joking. I wasn't judging her at all. We had a very nice and warm conversation in the extended version which will be released in few days :)"
We had a very lovely conversation after that, and that is all that matters. All love
I've also spent time in several Asian countries and was married to a woman from SE Asia for many years and interacted with family and community. I can say that shaming exists everywhere. And just look at the girl's demeanor and you can see that she felt ashamed. I appreciate that we can have different points of view about it and I honor that your intention is love. Best wishes.
Based on her reaction, as a Vietnamese born & living in Hanoi, I don't think that was shaming. She even called her mom to tell the story. I myself might also say that in similar situations as a joke.
@@PeterViet no lol, it's a kind of toxic culture in the same way as many other East Asians who think being thin to the point of anorexia is "healthy". Not every Vietnamese is gonna agree with being called fat.
In the East, unsolicited criticism can be interpreted as a sign of good will.
In the West, unsolicited criticism is viewed as a sign of antagonism.
The lady was obviously raised in the Western world with a Western-leaning mindset. That "criticism" was also borderline mockery. How do you think it made her feel?
7:49 comrade summoned lol
Loving that Sports by Beach Bunny was playing
Was just thinking abt that
I’m a huge beach bunny fan and for a second I thought my Alexa had turned on come to find out it was the video!
LOL at the end of the video.
Peter ơi,
Cho cô hỏi cô muốn biết shop bán thực phẩm Việt Nam này ở đâu để đi mua. Cô sống ở West London. Tiếng Việt của Peter quá tuyệt vời. Cô cám ơn Peter nhiều.❤❤
Shop bán thực phẩm Việt Nam đó(05:37) ko phải ở London đâu :/
Tiếng việt của mình chưa đủ nhưng mỗi ngày mình còn học tiếng việt ạ. Cảm ơn cô ạ :)
Cô cám ơn Peter dành thời gian hồi âm cho cô. Nếu shop này không phải ở London, vậy cho cô hỏi shop ấy ở đâu để thỏa mãn sự hiếu kỳ của cô.
I can imagine the first girl thinking I need to complain to me mum
pretty staff
I'm the who-knows generation of Chinese descendant here in Indonesia.
Chinese people here just got their freedom for last 25 years from prohibition of chinese culture related things (no chinese name, no chinese language learning, chinese festival etc) resulting many of my generations can't speak Chinese language (Mandarin), so i understand the struggle of the lady.
Anyway i wish to marry mandarin able speaking lady, so at least my family later could be able to speaking mandarin.
