1. Why is Vietnamese pronunciation difficult?
The old people in the past were very standard comments: “The storm is not equal to Vietnamese grammar”. Our Vietnamese is not only rich and diverse in each sentence, every word, sound but also polymorphism, multifunction, more or less, full of abstract.
Vietnamese pronunciation is commented by many linguistic experts worldwide as difficult to learn, difficult to remember, colorful, and it takes a lot of time, even a lifetime to learn the linguistic treasure of the nation.
The difference of Vietnamese language that no language has, that is, the 6 tones are used in Vietnamese language that make when pronounced, the sound is as deep as music. In addition, it is also a variety, related to the letters, as “S” with “X”; The word “d”, “r”, “gi”; “I” with “Y”, “C” with “K” … causing many foreigners to learn Vietnamese “headache”. So what are the reasons that Vietnamese is considered difficult to pronounce?
1.1 Vietnamese has some difficult vowels and consonants
Vietnamese includes 11 vowels and 19 consonants. Regarding vowel, including multiple double vowels and three vowels, when combined with consonants and elements of the rod will be quite difficult to pronounce. A few vowels are rated by many people to be quite difficult to read such as sound /â /, /ơ /, /u /. Most of the consonant is quite easy to read, but there are some difficulties for people who begin to learn such as words /ng /ng /kh /, /, /, /tr /, …
In addition, the syllables of Vietnamese also have a certain complexity of structure such as the first sound, the last sound, the tone, the rhyme, … combining these factors will produce many words with different pronunciation and meanings.
1.2 Vietnamese many tones
Vietnamese consists of 6 tones: Huyen, Sac, asking, falling, equal, heavy and is the only language with so many tones. Each tone when paired with the letter of vowel and consonant will have different bass sounds that symbolize 6 levels from high to low.
These tones seem to be difficult to pronounce correctly for children or with foreigners who have just learned foreign languages because the confusion of signs is what often happens. Besides, the tone of Vietnamese pronunciation depends on the attitude and tone of the speaker and forming nuances when pronounced.
1.3 Related to synonyms, homonyms
It is also quite difficult to teach Vietnamese first -grade pronunciation for children that is the diversity of homonyms, synonymously. When looking at an object, not only has a noun to refer to that thing, but also 2, 3, 4, 5 other synonyms, including local words. When reading a word, it is not necessarily only one person, object or emotion but also depends on the situation and circumstances taking place to effectively communicate.
In the process of pronunciation, sometimes children will encounter new and strange words, even never encountered making it difficult to read. Parents now act as a companion to explain and cut their children so that the simplest and easy to understand. To improve in the long run, parents also need to read more books, tell children every night before going to bed, ready to answer for children when they are questions about words.
1.4 Collecting many pronouns
In Vietnamese, there are also diverse pronouns. About the throne is no different from English, but in the same way of calling there is a different call. For example, the first person, can claim to be me, me, me, siblings, sisters, children, grandchildren, me, me, … with different nuances and roles. Or the same third throne, can claim to be it, him, the other/ the other, over there, he/ she, …
In general, Vietnamese is diverse in ways of addressing and this is also confusing when choosing pronunciation with children.

Some localities with inadequacies are the wrong pronunciation of some words such as L and N, X and S, Ch and Tr, … affecting the pronunciation and spelling of the baby. In order to improve the situation, parents should expose the baby early with the standard and orthodox voice, so that the baby will not be too dependent on the local pronunciation, which leads to difficult to fix later. These sources of information can be newspapers, videos, media, … or people with standard and clear reading.
2.2 Babies are lisp
The baby is lisp is inevitable because the age of the baby is short, or full of congenital tongue, or the structure of the pronunciation line is deformed, … with one will this situation will improve gradually when the child grows up, but with one will not. Parents should gradually fix their children, through the instructions, repeating many times to remember and ask the baby to correct them properly.
Although the baby’s lisp does not affect too much, but in the long run will affect the voice and pronunciation of the child.
