Video Virtual Presenter "Yen"

Hello, my name is Trần Minh Yến, or just “Yen” for short. My accent is Central Vietnam and my friends voice that you will hear sometimes is from the North.

Remember this program is not about perfect pronunication or accent, it is about grouping words in context to be easily understood. A single word said incorrectly can be a problem, but as soon as you group that word with others, you are always immediately understood. (Vietnamese is contextual)

I hope my videos help your learning. (Useful Tip: Use the skip back 10 seconds button for practice, find it next to the play)
