    Those four English letters that aren't used in vietnamese does have an equivalent: F gets replaced with 'Ph' ; J can either be 'Ch' or 'Tr' ; and W gets split into 'D' or 'V' categories. From what I remembered, one of the varients of romanisation did have the letter Z but it never become standardised due to regional difference when it comes to pronounciation, so it was merged with the vietnamese 'D' being used instead.

    This is so cool! I’m from Romania and trying to learn Vietnamese. I really didn’t know we shared some vowels sounds. We too have the A Ă Â but it is different:
    In Vietnamese “” is an “Ă” to us (Romania).
    And “Ư” is “” to us (Romania). We have also “Δ but they sound the same ( and Î).
    Giving lots of love to Vietnam from Romania! ❤️❤️❤️

    To be clear, As I learn Vietnamese ahead of my future visit. The English vowels have different sounds -long, short, soft, hard - based upon usage rules. Vietnamese is considered to be 1 of the top 2 most difficult languages to learn, it takes very smart people to learn it and speak it. Hopefully I’ll learn, this is the most comprehensive study I’ve found thus far.

    There are tones in Vietnamese I guess. I heard they have tones but since the Alphabet is the same as English, apparently it is easier to learn as an English speaker for an asian language. I live in Orange County right next to the largest Vietnamese population in the country. And I am close to mastery in Spanish.

      á is the name of the letter ă, the same with ớ and â, just like the name of the letter a in English is /ei/, those are not how the letters ă or â is pronounced in Vietnamese, in fact ă is a short version of a and the same with â and ơ

      Have read some english 'dialects' (my own adopted one included) are purported to have at least 19 distinct vowel phonemes, according to many linguists.
      Naturally people ofttimes have difficulty grasping the grapheme vs phoneme dilemma in such a largely non-phonetic mosaic language.

      @@EasyVietnamese4u Thank you. I'm trying to uncover Vietnamese that sounds like it is written. On day one of my journey--3 years ago--was a teacher saying that Vietnamese writing is phonetic. That may have been true in the 16th century, but every region of Vietnam distorts the language. I listened to a video from an online teacher in HCMC who said that Vinh had the closest dialect. However when I talk to people from Hanoi, they say that Vinh is a very hard dialect to learn, but they do not tell me why. My second teacher was from Vinh and she had me learn the Vinh pronunciation with Hanoi tones. Seems perfectly fine with me, but she has retired from teaching. So keep doing your best and I will keep trying to learn your language.
