Congratulations! 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!

I could really use the phonetics on how to properly pronounce it. the podcast isn’t all that clear, so a rough phonetic translation and hints on the pitch (rising/falling) would be very helpful! I agree that you could put more in a lesson.

Thanks for including Vietnamese!

Hey! 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.

Thanks!

Cool find! 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!

thanks really nice to find on itunes - just about to go to vietnam.

if i could make a sauggestion though, id really appreciate a course with optional extras. with a theme uch as thankyou, but also other phrases. you can pack a fair bit into 5 minutes. as i can rewind and fast forward mi ipod, you could learn more if you were comfortable, but still making sure, as you did, through reptition, that you learnt the essential central phgrase.

anyway, just an idea
gam an - thankyou - is that how you’d spell it?
