What You Need To Know About Thai And Vietnamese
Language
Tonal languages like Thai and Vietnamese are
distinctive on their own. They are often claimed
to be quite difficult to learn than most other
languages in the world. The chief reason behind
them, as many say is that you dont just need to
understand their grammar but due attention
needs to be paid to their phonology.

Learn Vietnamese Language
As you are about to learn Vietnamese language,
you should know you are essentially learning an
Austroasiatic language of the Mon Khmer branch.
Prior to the reunification of Vietnam in 1975,
both North and South Vietnam used to speak this
language differently however, after they merged,
North Vietnamese who were poorer than South
Vietnamese travelled to South in for of economic
opportunities and this resulted in gradual
homogeneity in their dialects and interchange of
many colloquialisms.

you might as well learn a little about their

popularity and what would you gain out of it
specifically. It helps you understanding Thai in
much better way. Every language has its own
emotions. To understand those emotions, you are
required to understand the feelings of the people
who belong to that culture. Translation the words
is easy, but translating the emotions is not.
But, once you understand the culture, you can
translate the emotions very well.
