How to pronounce Vietnamese names? (Phuc, Dat, Bich) 

When I was last in Vietnam, I didn't have time to learn much of the language, but now I must learn as fast as possible for my return soon. This is very helpful to see and hear the words.

Thank you Van for showing us how to say some of these word's in Vietnamese. You always do such a professional job in all of your videos.

Your dot sound effects with the fist are awesome. Talk about a learning aid. I will picture you doing this anytime I hear a word or see it written! 😉 Well done! 😀

Your southern accent is so cute!

So helpful! Such an awesome opportunity to learn pronunciation as well as the names and their meanings!

Thanks dear. Surely one of your best videos !!! 🤗♥️🇻🇳

Very impressive, this research video is qualified for the phd dissertation.

Beautiful, graceful, intelligent and very cute!

This is the video I need !!! THANK YOU !!!

Very cool to learn how to pronuce Vietnamese Names!

I’m surprised that RU-vid didn’t de-monetise you for this 😂

Thanks Van for sharing how to pronounce some of the differences between Northern and Southern.😊👍👍💐💐

I’d be very grateful to meet somebody named “Mai” as it’s the easiest name to pronounce!

14:32 Like "Phúc Mâp". 😉👍

I was joining you in pronouncing these name. Good for me since I am American living in Thu Duc City. Thank you!

Literally laughed out loud at that video thumb image! 🤣Seriously though this is very helpful for me. I was just in HCMC for a week this month and met a very nice woman there whom I've been corresponding with every day since and we help each other with English and Vietnamese. So this is useful as I do struggle with pronunciations.

A lot of work must go into these videos, thank you for the insight.

This is so very useful. Thank you for making the video.

Thanks a million! I needed that badly!!

Restaurant here in Canada closed. Since it was called, Pho Bich Nga lol

I am surprised with your southern accent. Great job

Been listening to my grandma speak Vietnamese for years but I never really understood the tones until now…😂😂

Thanks Van. I was pronouncing them along with you. I found it helpful in my continuing efforts to pronounce your lovely language ! It is my first tonal language and I struggle quite a bit ! You are very clear in your help ! Thanks again !! 😅😀

very helpful thanks van

More, please! This is so excellent. I can't find a local Vietnamese language class.

Thank you!

Your vids are always so professionally presented. You must work so hard on them. I am coming closer to fulfilling my dream towards the possibility in relocating to Vietnam in-so-far as I have just taken up a job which requires me to work 4 weeks on and 4 weeks off. I intend to spend the 4 weeks off researching where I want to spend most of my time. Toward that end I have downloaded your book which is equally well presented

YOU ON 🔥KEEP UP THA GOOD WORK

Great Video. It helps a lot. Thank you.

Ms. Van, I could watch you all day you are so lovely. Thank you for the information.

liking the new intro.. finally I made it to SGN... maybe see ya around town?! Names and learning Vietnamese in general is a great journey! thanks for the pronunciation lesson!!

Thank you so much!

Absolutely fascinating 🎉❤ Thank you Van for sharing this list vocabulary. I really enjoyed I watch lots of Vietnamese movies “Passionate of Dance” and “Taxi What is your name” are 2 of my favorite: comedy, Romance, and twists

Very well explained information.

Thank you for showing all these Names in nothern and southern dialect. I've been to Vietnam one month ago and I was concentrating on learning northern dialact phrases. I've konwn that there are many differences between the dialects before I travelled to Vietnam, but I thought they will understand the northern dialect in the south as well. But often they didn't understand what I try to say. For example r = s in the north, but r = could be something sounds like "our r"

Been studying Vietnamese for 5 years and there was no mention about these tones... This is good to know :)

i realized it's just cantonese. if i think about it. Cuz all the names used to be cantonese/ancient chinese.

Vân đọc giọng SG nghe dth ghê 😊

Clever, very clever

This could be the BEST title for a RU-vid video (in the history of all RU-vid videos). Well done! 😂

I found this, very interesting information, even for me a Vietnamese, living in the US many years.❤❤❤❤

Mong chờ chị ra vídeo ạ. Ủng hộ chị nhiều lắm

Ha ha ha I love the video title!! Warmest wishes from London.

3:13 My son’s name: Thiên Bảo, and my daughter’s is Thiên Kim. 🤗♥️🇻🇳

So, I started with Qua^n Tra^ , but it was too much work to correct BOTH the first name and last name. So, I dropped accent marks for both. And my names rhyme to boot, lol, Quan Tran. I tell people, quan like quantity, tran like transportation.

Ils Always interesting to know how to pronounce words/names,and was well thought of putting northern and southern because has different sound like ao daí on north and south is pronounced differently. Really nice video

New sub here, just curious do you have any recommendations for a beach side condo rental in Da nang, preferably a nice jym within a walking distance, am Planning on going there for a bit to just get away and relax Thanks

Many of my hairstylists have been “May”🤷🏻

Does anyone know what video it was where Van Vu taught us pronunciation in Vietnamese ie Mạ, Má and so on ? 🙏

I love Vietnam and it's people my girlfriend is from Vietnam she lived in Dubai with me 4 years now she's in vietnam I miss her so much

Phuc Dat Bich LOL 😆😆

Had to watch this once i saw the words. I already know how to say them, but still funny.

Haha that video thumbnail cracked me up lol The language is super offensively funny😂

This must be one of the hardest languages oh my gosh

ITS ON EVERY COMMERCIAL...EVERY AD ...ITS EVERYWHERE

A theo dõi kênh e thường xuyên lắm❤❤❤

Thanks, still trying with my deep baritone voice.

I have been trying to learn Vietnamese on and off for over 50 years. Just because you pronounce 100 names correctly doesn't mean I will remember or be able to do it myself. Some people have no talent for language

This video has my ancestor’s name!

Vân nói giọng miền nam dể thương quá.

In Vietnam I learned some basics off a Northern speaker video and I was amazed at how differently the pronunciation was even in Hue.. Rat vui as in very much sounds totally different in Hue… fascinating country and you just have to visit., I got discounts in restaurants when I tried to speak Vietnamese and some phrases actually worked😊

Video hay nhất từ trước tới giờ của em. 🎉.

Hi Van , thank you so much for your beautiful insite into your wonderful country . Myself and Sally -Ann will land at SGN on the 12 April , only 2 weeks but we are going south to north . Ho Chi Minh , Hoi Ann , visit to My Lai then to your home city . We can’t wait . From Pete n Sally in UK🇻🇳🇬🇧👍🏻

1 Word Outstanding

Hi Vân, thank you for your video, because pronouncing of first name correctly is essential in Vietnam because you don't address people by their last name but by their first name. And thanks to your 27 years of experience with Vietnamese, you can also tell the difference between pronunciation in the North and the South. By way of thank you, I have 40 years of experience in teaching and developing teaching materials, so I would like to give something back. What you can assume when you make a video about pronouncing Vietnamese names is that the viewer has at least heard a few hundred times that Vietnamese has 6 tones, with which diacritics they are interpreted and how they are pronounced. So you could have easily left out that part, and instead you could have watched the beginning of your video again, because there you give the exact example with your own name of why the pronunciation of Vietnamese is so difficult. Because it turns out: the wrong pronunciation has nothing to do with the tones but with how you pronounce the [a]. In my video "Why don't they understand my Vietnamese?" I explain that Vietnamese has more than 30 vowels, but the Latin alphabet only has 6. With the help of a few diacritics and some combination options you can get a bit further, but there are still a lot of vowel sounds left that do not correspond to any can be expressed in writing in some way. The mispronunciation of Vietnamese words is mainly due to the inability to distinguish or produce these sounds, those few tones are not really the problem, after all, we also use them in English ... but then they are not indicated. In short, a good introduction to how to pronounce the vowels would have been a lot more interesting than yet another tone repetition. By the way, in my video I say that ten minutes of attention for the tones is more than enough, and you did a great job in I believe 1 minute.

Great share

WE OWN THA W🌏RLD THRU THAT MUSIC

I STILL LIKE VIETNAMESE MUSIC... BECAUSE THEY GOT SOME HIP TUNES AND IT PURE...EVEN FROM GRANDMA

12:49 Most common Vietnamese name

Im confused because my family is from Central Vietnam 😂😂😂. This is very informative. I'm picturing all the people I know with these names and meaning associated with them 😆. Never knew it meant all this.

I'm watching this video just so I could give you the thumbs up. 🤗

❤❤❤ interesting ... thank

I was frightened when I saw the thumbnail oh my pho😮😅.I realized the southern accent in Vietnam it sounds more long gated 🤔than the north.

i think if you want to learn how to pronounce these names you should look up the vowels and the consonant clusters because they are what are not pronounced as an english (or most roman alphabet languages) would expect. for example knowing if a word ends in "ong" or "ung" /ng/ will come out [m]

Hay wa... 👍🏻

cam on!!!

17:26 « Sữa đặc Ông Thọ ». 😂👍

Chau is also a continent.

6:24 My eldest daughter’s name : Ngọc Hân. 🤗♥️🇻🇳
