sit down hello everyone welcome back to
learn Vietnamese with any in the
previous lesson we've already studied
Vietnamese syllable and initial
consonants what do you feel about it is
it difficult for you I hope not so today
we're going to study the best part of
enemy's pronunciation vowels and refunds
there are 11 bowels in Vietnamese as you
see on the chart we can divide them into
two small groups
front vowels and back vowels we have
three columns here so the first column
are front vowels the attitude columns
are back vowels okay what do I mean by
front or back front or back means the
position of your tongue so it is a
French vowel the tongue will move
forward and it is a back vowel your
tongue will move backward okay so now
let's talk about front vowels first
in Vietnamese there are three front
vowels e a and one more time a and and
when I pronounce that you can see my
tongue clearly because metal moves
forward that's why we call them front
vowels now let's have a look on each
vowel it is group first we have E as in
way because for spelling we can it can
be written as an i or why we write a y
in following cases without initial and
final sound for example we write a
italia after a world sound what should
we write on you for spelling for example
we write we get on one's knees after
consonants love ma the usually our words
that we borrowed from Chinese language
for example we write the equal ad Li
y'all reason conned a company with a why
second we have a as in gap-fill puffing
comparing to e we open our mouth wider
let's compare E and B and third we have
an as in San vehicles comparing to and
we open our mouth vertically and
horizontally wider let's
come here a and a and there are eight
fowls left we call them back vowels
because when we pronounce them I will
tell me move backward not forward as
front vowels we also can divide them
into two small groups routed and
untraveled vowels
okay what do I mean by rabbit and
uncrowded route it or under out it means
the shape of your lips it is of rounded
vowels
your lips are routed when you pronounce
them and if it's some uncrowded vows of
course your lips are not and I'll rub it
when you pronounce them okay we have
through our two columns here the columns
on the left are uncrowded vowels and the
column on the right are rugged vowels
now we will have a look on rugged vowels
we have o as in who who is the sound of
crying o as in the deep bowl comparing
to Oh we open our mouth wider but still
you rabbit
let's compare oh oh one more time oh oh
okay next we have R as in da to give
comparing to you O we open our mouth
vertically and horizontally wider but
still
rabbit let's compare all ah one more
time oh ah the last five vowels are back
and unrouted so now let's have a look on
each vowel in this group we have o as in
you abundant as you see my upper and
lower teeth are really close to each
other next we have o as in girl flag
comparing to boom our mouths open wider
let's compare o all one more time oh oh
okay right next to earn we have a vowel
that we call Oh in fact it's a short of
and we have a raisin home to emphasize
shortness but when it forms a word there
is no raising tone at all because of its
richness it never appears with our final
sound while I can appeal with all
without a final sound here are some
words for you to practice Yong Yong come

next we have an as in we're three very
easy rate the vowel right next to our is
an in fact it's a shock app but we add a
recent own to emphasize instructionals

raising tone at all because of the
shortness it never appears without final
sound while I can appeal with or without
a final sound here are some words for
you to practice damn damn damn damn
