Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)

Google is never a good way to learn pronunciation. To improve vocab okay. May I suggest u make some VN friends and learn frm them.

gi = zee (Northern)
gi = yee (South)

roi = zoi (N)
roi = roi (S)

the rest no difference.
vi = vee (same for both N/S)
di = dee (same for both N/S)

If might be more interesting if u learn common phrases instead.
Eg Em dang lam gi vay? - What are u doing now?

or the word "roi" which is very common.
Eg Het roi (finished already), biet roi (know already), an roi (eat already).

Btw biet sounds like "beet" (S) and "byet" (N).
Mekong Delta slang is even more amazing. The common name "Thuy" (thoo-weh) will be pronounced as "Thee"... am I confusing u? hehe...
