Unrelated but interesting trivia: we also learned the meaning of: bia, cà-phê, sô-cô-la, xì-căn-đan (these words sound similar in English)
Lesson 2 - Anh Bảo taught MUSICAL DICTATION (worksheets)
Singing is a remarkable tool in helping us to fine tune our pronunciation & tones because when we sing in the language we are learning, we can sound like a native even if it's our very first attempt! In Vietnamese the musical pitch dictates the tone. Students sang song #109 & then were randomly selected to read parts of the song, this exercise showed us how much singing helps our tones. Students were encouraged to keep singing in Vietnamese.
