Can you teach us different variations of how to ‘chuc tet’ to a boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/or wife’s parents? I think we’d all appreciate how to make a good impression!
hi, it is great to know that you have such a wonderful website to teach Vietnamese and to provide useful information and resources on Vietnamese culture to Vietnamese community. I personally highly appreciate your work. I just once looked at the topic about “thank you, you’re welcome and no problem” on your site and I would like to say a few words about this. Well, actually, Vietnamese language is not difficult to learn the basics but to master it is not easy, especially grasping the every subtle senses of its meanings and apply exactly them in daily uses. We all know that after someone (in VN) says ” cam on- thank you ” , you can say ” khong co chi- you’re welcome”. That is, when you help or do something good to them, someone wants to say ” thank you” to you to express their gratitude to you. And you, in these cases, say ” khong co chi” to express your humble work or just a small thing, not worth getting gratitude from them and you really don not want them to mention it. In the video, when you buy something, paying money for it and the salegirl says “thank you”. ‘thank you’ in this case is only colloquial expression and in Vnmese culture, you should not respond by saying “khong co chi” because you actually don’t help her something to the degree that you don’t want her to remember or mention it. She says ‘thank you’ and that means she shows a little gratitude to you for buying at her shop and that also means ” good bye”. So all you need to say in this case is :da, mong gap lai chi – see you again or a friendly smile is just ok.
I recently visited Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh, and Pleiku with my wife…whom is Vietnamese. She is learning better English…while I am trying to learn Vietnamese. I came across this site on YouTube and I hope to see more videos.//thank you so much!!
heyyyy. Chao all. I have my family living in Ho Chi Minh City. Unfortunately, I am not Vietnamese nor my family. I am Korean and grew up in the States, Bay Area, and spent few years in London and Sydney. I pretty much visit Vietnam every summer and winter break. Some of my family members can speak Vietnamese. Since I visit here pretty often, I thought it would be good for me to practice and learn Vietnamese. I’m lucky that I found Donna on YouTube after Brown. I feel that the Donna can be a great help in my Vietnamese study. I will try to leave a comment after each lesson session. Cheers!!!~
I’m so glad i found your videos on Youtube :] they are so helpful ! I’m trying to learn Vietnamese for my friend’s parents. They don’t speak much English , so that’s why i wanted to learn so that I may talk in their native tongue. Can’t wait to see what else you have in store . Thanks for everything <3
Love the videos! I’m teaching my 6-year-old Vietnamese so they are a great resource. Thank you!
Looking forward to more.
Your web lessons are a good idea…I am hispanic but fluent in Vietnamese. I can read and write and speak without an accent in a southern dialect. I am wondering if you know of any “advanced” Viet lessons that are avail or if you plan on offering such lessons. I often teach Vietnamese people thier language and would like to further my own knowledge. Cam on!
This girl is hot
Cho mình thêm tí thông tin về website này đi. Giáo viên hướng dẫn là ai vậy?
I love your website. It is so helpful!! Is there anyway you could do sound bites on the written portion of the lesson for quick references of the word that are being taught. That would help so much in practicing the correct pronunciation. Keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing more videos!!
thank again for this website it is very helpfull especially to me.
because my girlfirend is vietnamese. she does speak english but her parents and little brother do not. and her parents like me alot but i want to know more about there culture and to be able to speak with them in their language to show them respect and that i care:)
even to let me know when they make fun of me lol cuz they do that alot to lol
I am half Vietnamese (my father), and I was born in Canada. My father didn’t speak Vietnamese at home, and my mother wasn’t really interested, so I didn’t learn growing up. Now that I have two children I want them to learn and I do too. The kids are currently in a Vietnamese language class in there elementary school once a week but they are the only kids that don’t speak or understand Vietnamese, so they feel left out and they really don’t understand anything that is taught. These videos are helpful and the lessons are simple enough for the kids and myself, however I would like to learn more. Are there any classes or tutors I can get for myself and my children?
I like your web site very much. Is it okay I can place a link on my website so everybody knows how to get here to learn vietnamese for free.
Thanks

Hi I have linked your web site on my page I hope that is OK with you.
When are we going to get more videos??????
Great website! I love that is very organized and the real life scenarios are very helpful. I’ve been wanting to learn Vietnamese because my fiancee’s family is from Vietnam and one day I plan to visit the country.
Keep it up everydayviet.com!
I’m very proud of what you have done….
I’ve watched ” Heart to Heart” show and have a following idea to contribute:
-Some people have complained something about your Vietnamese accent..to me they are very conservative…I think beside the Bac (North), Trung (Center) and Nam (South)’s accents we should have a new accent for the next Vietnamese generation in USA like your American accent that should be the best way to expand the Vietnamse language here.
All my best regards to you and your friends.
Thank you very so much.
you can teach us how to sound out words in Vietnamese? it will be helpful.
Thank you!
I am pretty fluent in Vietnamese, but I just love watching these videos because Donna’s Vietnamese accent is so cute. If she is making a language series teaching Hindi, I probably will watch it too
)))
I’ve taken Vietnamese classes as a child, so I can speak conversational Vietnamese with an American accent. Your videos are great with helping me with my Viet accent. I started seeing patients who only speak Vietnamese, so I’d like to become fluent. Do you know any resources for speaking medical phrases and health discussions in Southern dialect Vietnamese? It’d be greatly appreciated.
