Learn Vietnamese and Explore Culture

What's up everyone??

If you were kidnapped by Donald Trump, tied into a Tesla spaceship by Elon Musk 🚀… and it crash-landed in Vietnam 🇻🇳

🌾 1. Vietnam is the third largest rice exporter at present

The Mekong Delta is known as the “rice bowl” of Vietnam, and it’s also where you’ll find floating markets and peaceful canals.

🛵 2. There are more motorbikes than people in some cities!

In places like Ho Chi Minh City, there are an estimated 9 million motorbikes—and only 8 million people!

🚦 3. Please cross the street confidently.

🇻🇳 Tui nhớ hoài những ngày đi học bằng xe buýt.

🇬🇧 I always remember those days of going to school by bus.

Chiều nào tan học cũng rơi ngay giờ kẹt xe khủng khiếp. Khói bụi mù mịt, tiếng xe máy, xe buýt, còi inh ỏi như cái chợ vỡ.

Every afternoon, right after class, I’d get caught in the worst rush hour traffic. The air was thick with dust and smoke, motorcycles and buses everywhere, horns blaring like a chaotic street market.

Cứ mỗi phút, xe nhích được đúng một chút. Có bữa, quãng đường 10 cây số mà đi mất gần 2 tiếng đồng hồ mới về được tới nhà.

1. Ăn mày - beggar (everybody can be a beggar in Vietnam or anyone can end up becoming a beggar regardless of your gender or background)
   

2. Bán bắp luộc (Selling boiled corn in Vietnam is just FUN) — In Vietnam, bắp luộc (boiled corn) is a popular street snack, often sold by mobile vendors pushing small carts or riding bicycles. These vendors usually carry a steaming pot of freshly boiled corn, and their signature call, 🔊 “Ai ăn bắp không? Bắp luộc đây!” (“Who wants corn? Boiled corn here!”)
   

Mâm cỗ gia tiên is a traditional ancestor offering tray in Vietnamese culture.

It’s a carefully prepared meal placed on the family altar to honor deceased ancestors, especially during important occasions like Tết (Lunar New Year), Giỗ (death anniversaries), and other major family celebrations.

shhhhhhhhh - don't share it or it'll die!

In many Southeast Asian countries such as India, Thailand or Myanmar, cobra catching has become a part of cultural and professional traditions. Snake catchers often do this job to attract the attention of tourists or to serve the research and conservation of wildlife. A girl who catches a king cobra not only needs the ability to grasp the exact technique, but also needs to be very patient and confident when working with snakes that can attack quickly like the king cobra.

My students are English speakers, and they found it really fascinating! They were the ones who pointed out the similarity and joked that it sounded like I was swearing. I was just teaching the word for the vowel ‘ật’ from the book— What are some words in your native language that sound like bad words in English?

Here’s a list of Vietnamese songs that perfectly capture the vibe of Vietnamese culture: (imp)

1. Trúc Nhân - Không ra gì

2. Hoàng Thuỳ Linh - Để mị nói cho mà nghe

3. Hoà Minzy - Thị mầu

Lô Tô is such a cherished part of Vietnamese culture, especially during Tết (Lunar New Year). It’s not just about the game—it’s a way for families to bond, laugh, and create unforgettable memories.

Why do I like this game so much?

Creative Number Calls:

Each number isn’t just called out plainly. Instead, the caller uses rhymes, jokes, or cultural references to announce the numbers. These calls often reflect humor or local sayings, making the game lively and hilarious.

• Example Rhymes:

In Vietnamese, there are a few ways to say “fart,” depending on the context and how polite you want to sound:

1. ĐÁNH RẮM(literally, “to hit a fart”): A casual way to say it.

• If it stinks, you can add “thúi” (stinky) for emphasis:

“Ai đánh rắm thúi vậy?” (Who farted and made it stinky?)

2. XÌ HƠI: A polite, softer way to say it.

Hi everyone! 🧑‍🎄

Did you know that Vietnamese people LOVE all things cute? From adorable animals 🐶 to sweet words 🥰, cuteness is everywhere! Let’s dive into some fun examples:

🌟 Cute Words & Phrases:

• Dễ thương (so cute!)

• Cưng quá! (too adorable!)

Did you know in Vietnam, slurping your noodles isn’t rude—it’s a compliment to the chef? 🍜 Or that crossing the street feels like an adventure, with motorbikes weaving around you like magic? 🛵✨

My first roommate in Canada was a Brazilian guy, and let me tell you, he was the chillest person I’d ever met—until the incident.

One cozy evening, I was in the kitchen, happily slurping away at a steaming bowl of noodle soup, enjoying my moment. You know that feeling when the broth is perfect, and you just can’t help but go full-on noodle orchestra? Yeah, that was me.

Meanwhile, my roommate was in his room, probably reading a book or scrolling Instagram—who knows? Suddenly, his door swung open with dramatic flair, and there he stood, looking half-amused, half-horrified.

“Hey, uh… are you okay?” he asked, tilting his head.
