      INTRODUCTION

      Learning a foreign language can be both exhilarating and frightening, where you are excited at the potential of being able to communicate with other speakers and yet afraid of failure or making mistakes. We recommend trying anyway, since a journey started is a journey half-finished.

      Learning Vietnamese is, of course, not easy and will take some time and effort. Treat this like a game, and begin with the starter pack, in this case, the Vietnamese Flash Cards Kit, which gives you the basic vocabulary and building blocks of the Vietnamese language—some of the most commonly used words and phrases to enable you to start speaking right away. You may want to combine this with using a textbook like Easy Vietnamese, which teaches the grammar and basic sentence patterns of the language, once you have committed to memory most of the words in this kit.

      Most importantly, you need to practice what you are learning. Vietnamese people are very friendly and you will instantly make new friends if you try to speak a few words of Vietnamese to them. Even if the pronunciation and tones are not accurate, they will still applaud you for your effort and invite you into their homes. We sincerely hope that you will persevere in your quest to learn the language.

      A GUIDE TO VIETNAMESE PRONUNCIATION

      Vietnamese is a tonal language, which means that a change in the tone used to pronounce a syllable or word changes its meaning. For example, the syllable la takes on several different meanings depending on the tone used to pronounce it. There are six tones in the Vietnamese language. Five of them are represented with tone marks placed above the vowel. The last tone—the level tone—has no diacritic. One should note that speakers in different parts of Vietnam use varying dialects, and some tones may be pronounced differently in different regions. Speakers of the southern dialects will usually just use five of the six tones. And southern dialect speakers often pronounce two of the tones a bit similarly to another. However, the meaning is made clear from the context.

      1. The level tone has no diacritical mark to represent it and is produced at a relatively high pitch, like the pitch we normally employ when we stick out our tongues and say ah at the doctor’s office.

      la to yell; scold

      2. The rising tone is represented by the acute accent (   `   ) and articulated at a very high and rising pitch.

      lá leaf (on a tree)

      3. The falling tone is expressed by the grave accent (   ´   ) and produced at a rather low pitch.

      là to be

      4. The low-rising tone is indicated by the top of a question mark (    ̉   ) placed above the vowel. It begins at a low pitch and then rises.

      lả to faint [used exclusively with mệt (tired) and đói (hungry)]

      5. The broken, low-rising tone is expressed by a tilde (   ~   ). When producing the word, the voice starts low and rises abruptly, resulting in a glottal stop (that is, when the airflow from the throat is briefly blocked).

      lã plain [used exclusively with nước (water)]

      6. The lowest tone is indicated by the dot (  .  ) placed beneath a vowel. Its articulation involves dropping the voice to the lowest possible pitch.

      lạ strange

      Vietnamese Vowels

      Single Vowels

      Vietnamese has 12 simple vowels, and because the Western alphabet has only six vowel symbols (a, e, i, o, u, y) some of the Vietnamese are written with diacritics added above the vowel letters. Tone markings are added above these vowel diacritics, often resulting in two diacritics—one to indicate the vowel quality and another to indicate the tone. Practice saying these vowels with the native-speaker recordings in the CD provided.

      Vowel Combinations

      Vietnamese has many combinations of two and even three vowels. For the most part, these are formed by combining the simple vowels. Refer to the audio recordings in the CD and practice your pronunciation of these combinations.
