For those with a strong background in Chinese, and are now trying to learn Vietnamese.
I know that there’s a lot of overlap in terms of borrowed words - would make it an easier language to pick up if there were less “new” words to remember.
Some might be similar in Mandarin, others words might be more similar in Cantonese, or Hokkien. Feel free to include more info here. Thanks!
Oh so many and thats a great idea for anyone studying or with knowledge of both languages!
There are so many similary words.
I just discussed with a Vietnamese teacher that we need to “Phát triến” (发展)Flexi Classes. I am going to write regulary in this topic when I see more.
