Häufige Fehler

In English, 'd' is 'd'. In Vietnamese, 'd' is 'z' and 'đ' is the 'd' you know.

Wrong: d instead of đ
Richtig: đi (to go)

Before 'i', you must add an 'h' to the 'ng' to keep the sound.

Wrong: ngi instead of nghi
Richtig: nghi (to think)

Without the hook, the vowel sounds completely different.

Wrong: Missing the hook
Richtig: ư (not u)
