I’m finally breaking through but for others to know how tough Vietnamese is, when you say Sai Gon and Sai Gon it sounds exactly the same at first listen! Haha. Don’t give up people. Great video!
And beyond that c/k is usually more like unvoiced k while g is like voiced at least for examples you given right? But in your previous video on intial consonants you said that c is pronounced same as k only at the beginning of the word. So does c gets simmilar to g only elsewhere? (Despite still being harsher as you described in this video).
First, let not take any English sound into this follow explanation. The other video where I said c and k is the same means that they have exactly the same pronunciation (in Vietnamese of course). (and it does not have anything to do with the English k) As for g, it's definitely voiced. As for c/k, I cannot say for sure whether it's voiced or unvoiced since it feels to me like a mix of English k+ g without realeasing a puff of air
