Reveal 3 Secrets to Speak Vietnamese Fluently Like a Native
During the period accompanied by foreign customers for rental support in Ho Chi Minh City, one of the most common questions Visreal-ers asked is: “What’s the best way to learn Vietnamese?” Or, another variation: “What language hacks will teach me how to speak Vietnamese with ease?” Well, trust me, learning to speak Vietnamese can be a challenge in the early stages. However, don’t fret because today, Visreal will share three tips and tricks on how to speak Vietnamese fluently so that you, too, can quickly achieve this beautiful language.
Tip 1: Learn from real experience, in everyday life
“What’s the secret to learning how to speak Vietnamese fluently and without an accent?” The answer is that “there’s no secret.” By this, we mean that you have to learn the “real” way. As you know, learning any foreign language also needs an environment to practice. Most of our foreign customers share that they easily remember the simple sentence when interacting with locals on a regular basis or visiting a Vietnamese cultural event. Indeed, you will greatly improve your Vietnamese communication skills and understanding of Vietnamese culture.
For example, when going to the famous Ben Thanh market, you can learn some short sentences like “Cái này bao nhiêu tiền?” “Có thể giảm giá được không?” And you can quickly repeat these words to the sellers many times until they are in your mind. By pushing into conversation as soon as possible, the language quickly becomes alive in your mind and you’ll ease into natural speaking much faster.

Therefore, if you have a chance to meet and talk with Vietnamese people everyday, your Vietnamese learning will become much easier! Do not be afraid to say something wrong, Vietnamese people are very hospitable, friendly and ready to help you improve your language skills.
Tip 2: Listen to music and watch Vietnamese movies
Are you bored with books? Just take a break. Try learning Vietnamese through music and films! To make faster progress with your language, you should connect it with your hobbies and interests. This will give you more contact time with the language. Since music is universal, this method doesn’t exclude complete beginners.
The key factor is that you do not need to spend too much time because you can listen to music anywhere. And by choosing the music you like, you can totally immerse in its chorus and harmony without getting bored. In each song, many words and sounds are repeated over and over and this will make it easier for you to remember. Besides, watching films is also the interesting approach. Movie lines often originate from real life situations. Therefore, when you listen attentively to the dialogues of the characters, you are training your ears to be familiar with the sounds and words of Vietnamese that are closest to real life.

Tip 3: Learn through language exchange
Finally, let’s try this new approach, which is now popular among people learning languages in Vietnam. This is learning Vietnamese by exchanging languages. It means that you will teach Vietnamese your language (English, Japanese, Korean,…) and Vietnamese will teach you Vietnamese. Every learner (the majority) is not a foreign language teacher. Both of you are merely learners, at the same time supporting each other. Undoubtedly, by this way, learning will become much simpler, more comfortable and natural.
