Auntie Can’t Believe I Speak Vietnamese “So Fluently”

  • In this travel vlog, I explore the Bình Thạnh District of Saigon, Vietnam. I talk with some locals at a Vietnamese wet market, and then go deeper into the market to buy a pair of sandals. Once I’m in there, the woman selling the sandals is surprised at how I can speak Vietnamese “so fluently.”
    To be fair, my Vietnamese is not fluent, but I have been working on getting better, so it was really nice to get compliments from her.
    After leaving the market, I eat some duck porridge at a street food vendor, and run into some Vietnamese guys dressed in LA latino style clothes.
    It was a nice way to spend an afternoon in Saigon, and I encourage anyone visiting Vietnam or living in Ho Chi Minh City to take little walking adventures like this. You never know what you might find or who you might run into!
    Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoyed this travel vlog.

      Hey Tyler. I am in England. A few years ago I used to really enjoy ‘Eli the bike guy’ who used to do a live stream for a few hours uk time was early Sunday morning so his time would start about 9-10 am. Used to listen through his chit chat was mellow. Your voice is similar and I think you could do good live similar. Cant wait to see if you do something similar and mixing in your Vietnamese interaction would be great as Eli spoke no local language. Happy days to you. All the best- Lee

    Good vlog, Tyler. She complimented your Vietnamese and asked how did you achieve it. She asked if you're here (there) teaching English implying that's how you could have picked up the language so well. Perhaps she was speaking a bit fast so it was hard to comprehend. But, overall, she was very complimentary of you. Seems like a nice couple.
    Those three Vietnamese "cholo" are pretty cool and friendly.

    When you meet a mature lady don’t ask her name but rather ask her rank in the family. She would say #2, #3 etc… and depending on her appearance you would call her aunt (cô, dì 2) or sister (chị 3) for example For more info , ask your girlfriend and she will explain to you more clearly. Remember that in VN you don’t ask a lady you just meet her maiden name because probably she wouldn’t use it in her family except for her husband or her parents.
