Tieng Viet lovers club
The above actually means Vietnamese Language Lovers Club.
I've roamed the streets of GL and Joo Chiat many a times in search of con gai dep (pretty girls). And in my attempt to try to chat up these girls (many of whom are able to speak Chinese better than me now), I have cultivated an interest in the language. After months of struggle and huge 'tuition fees', I'm proud to say that my fluency of the language has escalated to the grand level of a 2-year old kid in Vietnam :D Though this thread was set up for the main purposes of discussing the language, I sure that many bros who are into the Viet scene could use some translation services sometimes. I know of many other brothers here who have mastered the language and I thought it'd be good if we could give back to our community. As such, I appeal for your contribution. Personally, it would be great if i could pick up more of the language from the 'shifus' here To kick off, here are some words you could find useful: Khach san - pronounced as 'kark sun' meaning 'hotel' lam tinh - pronouced as 'lum tern' meaning 'make love' khong hieu - pronounced as 'com hay-u' meaning 'don't understand' bao nhieu tien - pronounced as 'bow new ting' meaning 'how much' :D Hope it helps! |

Re: Tieng Viet lovers club
Yes it is tonal langauge. And written form can come in english like bahasa indonesia i think. correct me if i am wrong.....Brothers you all the can. Can maybe conduct classes for us beginners? :)

Re: Tieng Viet lovers club
The best teacher is not us. Our pronunciation is not good enough. If u want to learn correct viet, u can consider the gals at JC/GL/ktv. Find a gal that can speak mandarin/english to teach you. That will speed up the process.
