1. Self introductions: Gambling NIH, mental. Melissa. Hello there. My name is Alyssa. Today we are going to be learning basic Vietnamese. And in this class it is assumed that you already know the alphabet. So if you don't know the alphabet, go to YouTube, learn the alphabet, and then come back here and we can learn. Let's get started. The first word in the most basic 4d and Vietnamese as hello, of course. So Sync Gail Singh, gal. Like you heard in the introduction, my name is meant Dunlap. And then done LAN. My name is meant Dunlap, Elisa. And talking about age, we use your name or your title number and then DOI. For me, it would be Alyssa high mu0. Boy, I am 20 years old. When done? The London though. I'm from and then you add your location where you from. I'm from America, so I would say Mandan do lee, That is it for today's lesson. Let's go over a quick review of what we learned today. Since gal sent Gao. Hello. When Dunlap, when Dunlap, My name is name or title, age, and really I am blank years old. When done DO? I'm from blink from America had been dumped on me. I hope you enjoyed this lesson tune in next time for greetings. By now. 2. Greetings: Hello everyone. How are you doing? This is Greetings in Vietnamese. Let's get started. So we're going to be talking about how are you. First one, your name or your title, will be talking about titles later on. And then quite hmm. So if someone was asking me, they would say Alyssa. Alyssa, how are you? Or you could say Yao Nei, title or name. So how have you been recently? And one could respond to that with your title or your name and clay or I'm good. Or you could use again your self title or your name and say, calm, quiet. I'm not good. Or if you're just so, so you can say been cone. Other greetings. Now, I will say these greetings are not commonly used, but it's a good idea to note them. Native speakers don't commonly say, good morning, good afternoon, good evening, but it's something that's nice to know and you could use it if you wanted to. So the first one, gal boys saying, good morning, cowboy sang and good afternoon. Gal bully, tool. Good afternoon. El Bulli. Do. Good evening. Is gal, bullied, boy. Gal. Okay, so this lesson is short and I do have an activity for you, just a simple game of Memory. And to learn these new words and previous words from the other lesson, you can cut out pieces of paper, just like squares. And on one paper you can have the English translation and the other paper, you can have the Vietnamese and mix them up, flip them on the blank side, and just take turns flipping them over, trying to match the Vietnamese and the English until you find all the matches. The key to learning any language is just repetitions. And if you repeat these words and practice them, you'll be on the right tracks in. 3. Titles: Galois. Today we are doing Vietnamese titles for the lesson. Let's get started. So first it is an is an old man and bad is an old woman, old enough to be around or grandparents age? And you only use them for people of that age. And it can be for strangers as well. If you don't know someone's name or even if they aren't your grandparents, you would still say, I'm MBA. This next one, goal and gall, uncle, slash AND, or middle aged people. So maybe not old enough to be a grandparent, but they might have younger children possibly still, that will be filled in Gaul. This next one, and an older brother or sister. This one can be used for any age at all. So if or genders. So if I'm a female, male, I could call someone an OR gate if they're older than me. So even like an O1 and above, if the on the older man is 60 and the someone else is younger, they can call them. And so if the woman is or man is 5060, they could call him. And and for a younger male or female, regardless of age, they are called M. So just like the example before, if the own, the old man is 60 and the is 50, the old woman, the ONE would call her em because she's younger. This next one, Gong can refer to children, babies or somebody who is at least 20 years or younger than New. For example, my mother and father-in-law call me and my husband gong. Although we are both adults, we are still called, I guess baby, because we are definitely at least 20 years younger. And today's activity will be to write down on a piece of paper the people in your life, people you know, and think, what title do they have? Are they an OEM or are they a goal? Or are they in a day or N or gone? I hope today's lesson was helpful on titles and I will see you next time for the next lesson. Downbeat. Debye. 4. Tones: Hello everyone. Today we are going to be learning Vietnamese tones. Let's get started. So the first tone is neutral tone or no tone. And example of this is Man. Man, which means Ghost. The next one is low tone. You can see the little dot under here. That's the tone mark. And is man. Man, Which means mom. And you can tell the difference of going lower. The first one, neutral tone, man versus man. Man. This next one, rising tone, seen here, The TO mark going up my Mac. And it means cheek, or the northern way to say Mom. But we are using Southern dialect, so you will not use this one to say Mom. The next one is falling tone num map here and it means but or however. And the tone right here, the math, math here, it's not man, download, but it goes down like new math. Math. The next one is rising plus falling tone, and it is right up here, and it means grave. The noun loop sees the noun for grave, and it is Math. Man. Okay, here we go. And this next one is rising, falling plus rising tone, goal. Goal. And it means old objects, but not including people. Alright, and that is it. We are at our activity. And today's activity for the lesson will be to practice with simple vowel sounds or with words that you already know and that we learned these tones. So you will do the rising plus falling plus rising tone. The rising plus falling tone, falling tone, the rising tone, the low tone, and the neutral tone. Downbeat. Bye. See you next time. 5. Numbers: Gambling Louis. Hello everyone. Today we are going to be talking about Vietnamese numbers. Let's get started. So the first one is from 0. From the second one is mop mob one to hi, hey, 34, bom, bom, five num, num six cell. So seven by eight, dum, dum. Nine going in. And ten. Molly. Molly. Okay. So how to say the teens? It is quite simple. All you do is say 10 first, so Molly, and then whichever numbers so moist bulb is 11 milli high, 1213, and it goes on until we get to numbers like 203040. And how you say those is quite simple as well. Instead of saying like the teens mostly hay, you would say, hey, mu0 to groups of ten, because ten plus ten equals 20. And you do that all the way up until you get to a 100. And there is one exception that I wanted to talk about before. I get to a 100. And that is that we are talking about twenty one, thirty one, and forty one and all up until a 100. Instead of saying the normal mob, it turns to a rising tone. So quick fix. And it's mop mob. But now we're at 100 and that is dum. Dum. And today's activity is pretty simple. I will have you just write them down into flashcards and just study them. Nothing too difficult. And that is it for today's lesson. Debate. Goodbye. See you soon. 6. Colors: Gambling. Hello everyone. Today we are learning Vietnamese colors. Let's get stirred. And so the first word is Mau, Mau. And that comes before the color words. So like before the word for red and orange and yellow. You always put model and it just means color. The first one red. Mao Zedong, Mao Zedong. Orange, Malcolm, Malcolm, yellow, mao bang, Mao Lang. Green, sand, LA San, lab. Blue, son. Nope, plain. Blue. Set node plane. Purple. Mau Mau, Dame. Pink. Mao hmm. Mao Hmm. Black. Mao Dang, Mao, Dang gray Mao, some Mao, some white. Mao, Zhang Miao, John Brown, mono model. No. And that is it. And today's activity is just practice looking at different objects around you and think in your head what color is then try and come up with the color and Vietnamese super-simple. Me. Goodbye. I hope you enjoyed today's lesson. See you soon. 7. Verbs: Gambling. Today we are talking about Vietnamese herbs. Let's get started. So the first verb is d, which means go. The, the second verb is ang, which is to eat. The next one is ONE. Own. To drink. No, no. Sleep. Hope. Hope. Study. Gay. Run. Bibo. Bibo. Walk. More, more. Bye. Bang. Mang. Cell. No, no. Cook. Sam. Same. Watch. This watch is only watching TV, films, movies, YouTube, whatever. It is, not like watching something in real life. Now here is, if you want to change these verbs and form it into a sentence, you will use these and I will go through them. Deng, Deng plus verb equals an I-N-G. So you can use to form a sentence, Your Title word or your name. So for me, I would say Alyssa Dang, end to eat ang Alyssa Dang. And with our food so far. So Alyson Dang, alpha, I'm eating fall instead. Plus verb equals future tense. So again, same structure. Alyssa, say, I will eat FHA or with Roy. Roy. At the end of your sentence makes it past tense. So Alyssa and far ROI. And that makes it persistent. And you can do that with any of the verbs. So today's activity is practice sentences. I encourage you to grab a notebook and just start writing sentences, making things up with the words that you already know and these new verbs. And using that same structure to create sentences with the future tense, ING and past tense. And that is it for today. I hope you enjoyed this lesson. Gambit. Goodbye. See you soon. 8. Adjectives: Gambling. Hello. Today we aren't learning Vietnamese adjectives. Let's get started. So the first one, gal, gal is tall. And example of that in a sentence would be MCO. So if i were talking to someone older, I would use remember the title EN and go. So I'm tall. The next one, that short, and just like the previous one, and that I'm short. Den, den, beautiful. Dried Dow, Don. The apple is beautiful. So, so ugly. Dry del Sol. The apple is ugly. Cheap. Ran, ran, dry, Dao, Da ran. The apple is cheap. Mac, MAC. Dry towel, dogma, the apple. And this part is apple, the word for fruits that all fruits have. And then Apple. Go hard. Texture. Dry, cow, dog, gun. Men. Men. Soft texture. Julie, the man. The banana is soft. Call, call. Difficult thing they they call Vietnamese is difficult. But with enough practice, not so difficult. Yeah, easy. Thing on the English is easy. And that is it for today. And we, your practice and activity for today is to take all these adjectives and just like the verbs, make sentences with what you know and with the titles and with different objects that you know and incorporate them and use these adjectives to describe different things. Number. See you soon. 9. Pronouns: Hello everyone. Today we are going to be talking about Vietnamese pronouns. Let's get started. So the first one, boy toy is I or me. Deutsche Bahn, may I, II, III, which is a sandwich. Go, I go, I she slash HER. Go. And Ben me. She eats a bunny. And a he or him. And I. May, he eats Ben me. Gim that we or us, This is including the listener. So whoever you're talking to, it, we including them as well. Going say and Ben, may we eat me? Can we or us, excluding the listener. So you're talking about a group of people that is not including who you're talking to. Doi say, Ben, may, we eat a knee? We will eat them mi ha, they, or them ha, Ben, may. They eat me? Nah. Nah. Sometimes can be used for human in informal speech. Say and Ben me. It will eat Benny. Go. Plus personal pronoun equals possessive. Dr. Gao. And I, his apple. So Apple belonging to him. So his apple. And you can use that for anything. You can put it after and noun and use any of the pronouns after that. So that is it for today. And today's activity is the same as last times. Just form sentences with different nouns and different things that you know, and use those pronouns and incorporate if you can, the possessive as well. Damn it. By seizing.
