Nguyen Thi Nhai

Heavy pronunciation practice today. Very meaningful. Just yesterday I became to know that the pronunciation of Vietnamese is very important much more than I thought by an article written by Vietnamese-speaking Japanese, so today's lesson was very meaningful.

From this lesson, I think, we began making full Vietnamese conversations (greeting, questioning). The teacher also hinted at how to learn how to use the material by reading or listening (I preferred listening.) Still, the pronunciation is difficult for me as in previous lessons. I think I already took 10 lessons in Vietnamese.

Today, I have a mysterious feeling as I understand voice conversations that do not use just basic fixed phrases. It is the first time! I spend time reading and pronouncing each syllable, which still takes a long time, but it is not inefficient, as I believe so far. I had a fairly heavy homework today, which promotes my memory to use the difficult words such as người, nước, phải and so on. Today I did not add Anki card today. I would do that for today's lesson tomorrow. I learned enough today.

Many new words still that I can absorb on this day.

4 consecutive lessons everyday. Last night I finish the homework. Simple quizzes are essential to me. I was taught a few pronouncing mistakes one by one. I think I noticed some Vietnamese pronunciation characteristics as I am on the way to master. After the lesson I listened to the sound again and again from very slow speed to doubly high speed on the Notion. Then I gradually noticed that I am comprehending gradually deeper nearly (hopefully) perfect.

Today it was the combination of easy one and difficult one, as well as the role playing that is also difficult. After the lesson, I reviewed a few times. pronunciations are still difficult especially tones but I think they are gradually easier for me taking many reviews today. I use Anki. The "decks" (card stocks) of Anki is growing. I am little bit overwhelmed by the quantity and difficultness of decks that are recently made, I still try to practice to improve my memory.
