How to Look up Words in a Vietnamese Dictionary Part 1/6

http://budbrownonline.com Many people are confused when looking up words in a Vietnamese Dictionary. The words are not in the same order as English. This video is the first part of a 6 part lesson explaining how the words are arranged. It's not so simple, but linguist Bud Brown tries to explain the logic behind the dictionary entries.

I like this vid. Also there is nothing wrong with having a goatee that is not fully grey. I would want to hold on to the dark bits myself.

@Salgandarin I'm glad you like the vid. The color of my beard has never entered my mind.

you're so funny, how you stop for the people walking by. I would do the same thing. I am thinking of starting a new vietnamese language video thing inspired by you but about vietnamese street slang, there is so much and it's so hard to learn unless you're here. hope you have a great visit!

[MagicMaximo]

Yes, I'd encourage you to make those videos. I'll be your best student! Beware: I ask a lot a questions! lol!

Thanks. To you too!

Thanks for your comments. Glad you like the vid. Yeah, it happens a lot..."Look at that guy talking to himself in that car!" Oh well.

[MagicMaximo]

Oh gee. I'm so sorry to hear she was hurt. I hope everything works out.

Haha I laughed when you said someone was watching you! That must happen quite a bit.

Thanks a lot for this vid (and the remaining five vids). I've recently bought a whole lot of Vietnamese resources including two dictionaries, but I don't know when I'll get the chance to seriously get stuck into it. Knowing how to correctly look up words is going to save me a LOT of time. Thanks again man!

I'll be going to Vietnam again soon, too. Right now it seems like I'll be going in March, but it could be as early as February or as late as April. I'll be picking up my fiancee from Vietnam to bring her here to the USA (on a K-1 visa). If you ride motorbikes over there, just remember to stay safe :) My fiancee got in a bad motorbike accident on Thursday and almost died so now we are just waiting for her to recover enough before she flies here.
