Xin chào Hello
Vietnamese uses the Latin alphabet, but the tone marks and vowel marks ARE the pronunciation. This chapter teaches the first three tones — ngang, huyền, sắc — plus the alphabet and the letter đ, then how to greet. No grammar yet — this is a tone-and-reading foundation chapter.
Dialogue
Chào hỏi — Saying Hello
- Nam Xin chào! Hello!
- Linh Chào! Hi! (more casual)
Dialogue
Tạm biệt — Saying Goodbye
- Nam Tạm biệt! Goodbye!
- Linh Chào! Tạm biệt! Bye! ("chào" works as "goodbye" too.)
