Learn Vietnamese: How to Speak with a Southern Vietnamese Accent (Tung Thanh Ly Vietnam)
Saigon Pronunciation Drills
This is a free YouTube video lesson focused on speaking Vietnamese with a Southern, Saigon-style accent. It’s best for learners who already know basic Vietnamese words and want their pronunciation to sound more natural in the South.
You’ll watch and copy the speaker as they point out common Southern pronunciation patterns and give quick repeat-after-me drills. It works well as a focused “accent tune-up” you can replay, pause, and shadow out loud. Start with one sound or pattern at a time, then rewatch and try to use it in your own sentences.
What it doesn’t give you is a full curriculum, feedback on your pronunciation, or real conversation practice. Treat it as a helpful add-on, not a complete course. You can watch the lesson on YouTube and find more Southern Vietnamese content on the creator’s channel at @tungthanhly.
