Let’s say you were about to speak before a primarily Vietnamese audience, like at a festival, concert, or meeting, and your Vietnamese skills are not yet up to par, you would say this phrase to pardon any mistakes you may make. You can also use this phrase if you will be only speaking English but you want to address the Vietnamese audience first out of respect.
Dạ thưa, tôi nói tiếng Việt không giỏi, xin quí vị bỏ qua cho.
Dear audience, I don’t speak Vietnamese well, please pardon me.

good job! i like that voice and i want to learn how to speak in vietnameese
I used your Vietnamese teaching video to learn English, thanks. I am Vietnamese. He he. Next I write in Vietnamese.
Tôi nghĩ là người dạy cũng nên nói tiếng việt luôn trong khi giảng chứ không nên nói tiếng anh. Tôi học tiếng anh thì thấy trong các video, giáo viên luôn luôn nói tiếng anh trong khi giảng.
It’s ironic how complicated it is to tell someone that you can’t speak Vietnamese. It might be even more likely that you would mess up while trying to say this than any of the other phrases that have been taught so far because it is so long. lol
Love you, Donna!
