Our biggest concern with the phrases is that they are pitched to foreign travelers in the dialogues in Vietnam. Basic Vietnamese Phrases are good ways for learning basic phrases through repetition than other materials. It is important to use the correct form of address based on your age, gender and relationship that the Vietnamese use. For example, you say “Bà” when you are addressing to an older lady with a mark “`”, but you use “Ba” without a mark means “Dad”. You can use “chi” with an older woman or “Em” with a younger woman.
