Siagon ... For example the way you pronounce không ... it is sounds like an American who does not know Vietnamese phonetics and is going by the way it is spelled .. you make a K sound ... the same problem with words that begin with "R" ... you pronunce like in English but in Hanoi it is like a "z" sound and in Siagon like a "y" sound ... so it seems to me that you have a Viêt-Kiêu accent ..

If you want to learn Vietnamese, you'd better start from learning speaking with the northern accent :) after that, learn any accent you want: PS: I'm Vietnamese and i love listening to southern accent, because it's lovely ;-) The accent of the lady in this audio is southern.

It's a waste of lesson time (1 -1.5 minutes!!!! ) and its highly irritating! The happy - clappy, overly upbeat tone of the lessons is also a bit irritating! Ok for free lessons, and very welcome, thank you! I will not be paying for the longer courses untill /unless those intros are removed. PS I find the German intro disturbing and inappropriate.

Great course(s)! Question about "Thank you very much" in Vietnamese. Great Myan says something like "Cảm ơn [rach] nhiêu", which I cannot find in the accompanying .pdf. What is the word she says right between ơn and nhiêu? Thank you and keep up with the good work! Congratulations! Great course(s)!

I agree that you could put more in a lesson. Thanks for including Vietnamese!

I'm starting up, and want to concur with Will above - I'd like to see more put into the lessons... and what's more the PDF guide has a LOT more stuff in it, but no guide on how to read Vietnamese! I'm not sure if Xin is pronounced "Sheen" or "Hin", if there's rising, high, falling intonation... an overview on how to read Vietnamese script would make these supplementary materials a lot more useful. It would also help me when ordering from menu - if I can get the basic reading principles down, I can order Phô. :wink: Thanks! Hey!

Six months ago, I married a wonderful lady from Vietnam, and we are going to Nha Trang over Christmastime to visit her family. It's my first time to Vietnam, so I'm excited about learning some phrases. A polite suggestion: you could probably pack a little more in with a five-minute lesson. For example, using the new phrase in context my be fun. Good luck! :cool:
