Lesson One - Tones and Pronunciation - Pages 21&22

Revision of sounds from last week

New Sound: ƠM (hook)

New Sound: ƠN (hook)

New Sound: ỚC ỢC - ỚT ỢT (pronounced the same)

New Sound: ỚP ỢP (two tones)

In Vietnamese, B and P are pronounced the same. How do we differenciate between the two when spelling? Easy! It's P for Phở and B for Bò.

Congrats to the class, you've passed Level 4

Lesson Two - Language Structure

The class received a 'Pocket Universal Language Generator'. This is an empty universal language generator so that whatever sentence you want to construct you can slot the words into this generator and be confident you have the sentence structure correct.

More Language structure - This week the class learnt BỊ - DƯỢC, KHÔNG CHẲNG and the many uses of the word CÓ.

Lesson Three - Learning more of the 800 words

Revision of homework from last week - putting sentences together from the 800 words.

This week - Colours and Fruit!

The class was split into 3 groups and each group was given a plate of fruit. Each group had an instructor helping them who would hold up a piece of fruit and ask 'Trái này là trái gì?' (What fruit is this?) and 'Trái này là màu gì?' (What colour is this fruit?). The students would reply ; Trái này (đó) là trái..............' and 'Trái này (đó) là màu..........'

A few fruits not included on the sheet but that were on the plates were: Eggplant – Cà Tím, Pear – Lê and Apple – Táo / Bôm.
