Welcome back to our Vietnamese Pronunciation training course.
Today is also the last training session that I'mma teach you how to write as well as how to type Vietnamese.
People using Latin script/Latin alphabet would have a better chance of learning how to write Vietnamese – cuz Vietnamese also uses the Latin script in their writing system, so there's nothing much to mention, but for those who wish their handwriting is better.
This level will teach you everything you need to know about improving your penmanship.
People using non – Latin script, like Korean/Japanese/Chinese would find it hard to learn how to recognize, write & type Latin-script searching for information, so this level is worth your attention.
In today's session, I'mma show you 2 things : the 1st one is learning how to write ( handwriting ) & the 2nd one is learning how to type Vietnamese on different operating systems.
Let's get down to the 1st one which is learning how to write.
For those thinking their hand-writing don't have to be pretty, beautiful or something, as long as it's readable, they're at the right place, just click on this button " free, informal practice/ hand-writing style".
"The lower-case letters" - Here I done shown you how to write all the Vietnamese lower-case letters in a free/informal hand-writing style.
These are buttons with videos added that represent how each letter is written.
Same goes with the upper-case letters.
Just click on them buttons to take a look at the way each one is written, recognize the letters of the alphabet & go practice yourself !
Those who wish to improve their handwriting in a more artful manner, gotta get into this section – which is penmanship practice.
You would be taught how to produce a more eye-catching & pleasant-to-look-at hand-writing piece of work.
Here I'm writing some letters in Vietnamese in a more formal way.
And if it caught your eyes, you can get down to it to see how each letter is consciously written & go practice for yourself !
You see, in the Pen-manship practice section, letters are now written in a more eye-catching & pleasant-to-look-at manner, as opposed to the Free/Informal practice.
All letters are sitting on the line & being connected with even spacing, thin upstrokes, thick downstrokes it feels like it's way more attractive than the Free/Informal letters, right ?
So in this section, I also teach you how to write all the Vietnamese lower-case as wel as upper-case letters in a more formal & pleasant-to-look-at hand-writing style.
Here's the rule : Capitalize the first letter of the first word of each new sentence, names, titles... & leave all other letters as lowercase.
Here I ain't using a brush pen/ a fountain pen or a nib pen , with those pens in hand, ain't nothing to say, cuz all kinda pens easily produce thin upstrokes and thick downstrokes already, here I'm using a ball pen – the type of pen that requires you to use force properly to do thin upstrokes & thick downstrokes.
Below is about how to write all the Vietnamese upper-case letters in a more formal & pleasant-to-look-at hand-writing style.
Same thing. These are buttons with videos added that represent how each letter is written.
Just click on them buttons to take a look at the way each one is written, recognize the letters of the alphabet & go practice yourself. Real easy !
Here I got it shown in slow motion so you can have enough time to feel out the way I'm riding with my pen, it moves flowing on the paper.
That's all bout the hand-writing.
But there are things that you MUST know to really master the more formal & pleasant-to-look-at hand-writing style.
Let's take a look at it to see what sets the Penmanship practice apart from the Informal practice, why it makes us feel pleasant to look at & what you're supposed to do to be able to write in such a way. Follow me !
You see, thin & thick, linked to one another with even spacing.
We called it thin lines, thick lines.
The rule is thin upstrokes, thick downstrokes, meaning, thin upstrokes are drawn in an upward direction with very light pressure.
On the other hand, the thick downstrokes require you to apply heavy pressure.
That's just the 1st rule. The 2nd one is you have to be aware of the sizes of the letters.
Here I'm writing on a cross-section paper or a millimeter squared paper (1cm x 1cm squared paper with 2.5mm spacing, to be exact ) to adjust the sizes of the letters.
Small letters, such as : a c e m n o r s u v x... are, ideally, 2.5mm tall, no more or less.
While lowercase letters that have descenders which extend/fall below the baseline ( Tail letters/Fall letters ), such as y, g, q, and p, or have ascenders which extend above the height of small letters ( Tall letters ), such as l, k, b, h, t and d are, ideally (2.5 x 2 ) mm tall.
That would be the ideal height for the letters because the bottom/the lowest point of the letters with descenders & the top/the highest point of the letters with ascenders would NEVER cross/meet.
Though your paper is fully written, as long as you give weight to the letter size, the overall appearance of the written page changes dramatically.
Because it allows you to set a proper spacing between letters or words + maintain consistent sizing as you write so the variability of letter placements is now removed. You ain't making some letters huge and others small no more. The letters would never appear jumbled, mixed up or overlapping each other.
As you focus on making the letters touch the writing lines in all the right places, letters are more easily identifiable/readable as they now sit accurately on the writing lines. So when it comes to hand-writing, letter size, spacing is real important to legibility, gotta keep that in mind whenever you start to write ! So them are the two basic principles of the penmanship practice.
The 1st one you gotta remember is thin upstrokes, thick downstrokes, in other words, you apply heavy pressure to create thick downstrokes and you apply light, gentle pressure to create thin upstrokes.
And the 2nd one is the letter size as I mentioned above.
There's still ONE more thing that sets the type of hand-writing apart from the free/informal practice.
That is it just takes ONLY ONE LINE to write a single word which means every single letters in a word are mutually connected/linked to one another into THAT ONE LINE.
Look at me writing my name, though it's a name that's supposed to be written in uppercase, but I leave it all as lowercase on purpose to describe the thing I just mentioned above.
I divide my them three words ( trần, quang, huy ) into single letters, then I set them letters apart from one another.
Notice that the beginning point of every single letter is aligned with the ending point of it forming a straight line,
, whether it be small/tall or fall letters, them all are sitting on the line,
then what would happen if we leave/have it written next to one another at the proper length?
It would automatically get connected to each other, it works as an attractive/irresistable force driving one to be fitly joined/attached into another one.
You see, the thing that you write in a way that keeps the beginning points & the ending points of all the letters sit on the line is real important to making all the letters get connected to one another automatically without you paying conscious attention to it.
So, above is the free/informal hand-writing style & below is all the things you need to improve your hand-writing in a more formal & pleasant-to-look-at way, one step closer to the penmanship practice. It's up to you. What, you think, suits your tastes & needs or catches your attention, just go for it !
To the best of my ability, I can only teach you how to do a free/informal hand-writing style as well as cursive penmanship.
But the truth is there's more to it. Vietnamese calligraphy is art, much more than art. There's more than just meet the eyes.
In the sense of Vietnamese calligraphy, the meaning goes deeper than simply striving to make the characters look beautiful. It is considered to be an art form requiring mental disciple, which involves both the body and soul.
For those who wish to learn more and to book a private training session with this incredible original calligraphy, the link given on the screen would lead you to the one that can teach you everything needed from the inside out.
Put on notice that: Before you contact that person, make sure you done be able to speak a good Vietnamese to overcome language barriers
& you truly care bout learning it to the core, not just getting to know it for fun.
If it's not what you want, and if you think being able to write Vietnamese is fine, enough is enough, so that's not your place.
So I just done taught you how to do a free/informal hand-writing style as well as improve your hand-writing in a more formal & pleasant-to-look-at way,
I also introduced you to the place that can satisfy your curiosity of Vietnamese calligraphy.
Next, I'mma teach you how to type Vietnamese & all the stuffs around.
What you need is a kinda software tool that helps type true Vietnamese letters with all the accent marks or diacritics on and under the letters.
Click on this section if you're running Microsoft Windows, but if you're on Mac OS, click on the section below.
For example, suppose you're running Microsoft Windows, just click on this section,
you'd see the button, click on that button to download Vietnamese keyboard to your computer.
When downloaded, click here for instructions on installing and setting up software as I guided.
Just follow all the steps I make & do as I do in the video recording.
Notice that in your taskbar, usually located near the system icons for clock and power, you should now see a language icon. The icon will display the two-letter language code of the language that you selected to be the default input language.
If you selected English as the default input language, the icon will display EN. If you selected Vietnamese as the default input language, the icon will display V. So, to switch to Vietnamese, click on the icon and select the "V".
When you follow all the steps as I guided, you're now able to start typing Vietnamese.
If you're on Mac OS, you've got it easy, cuz Mac OS has built in support for the official Vietnamese input methods already, it's already available for you to use. You don't need a third party software so you don't have to download nothing.
Just click on the section below, do as I do, choose what I choose in the video recording, you would get what you need to type Vietnamese on Mac OS X.
Moving to the next part, I'mma show you how to type special Vietnamese characters, Vietnamese letters with all the accent marks or diacritics on and under the letters.
For example, how to type  - which is the A with a circumflex accent mark.
Here is the rule, you'll type the sequence "aa" (two a's) to get â, aa=â. How about the Ê, Ô. As you can observe, these 3 letters Â, Ê, Ô all have the circumflex. The rule to type them is hence the same: Type the underlying letter twice.
Similarly, "oo" for ô and "ee" for ê, dd for đ
How about typing ư, ơ and ă, these first 2 letters ( ư, ơ ) share the "horn" the last one is not quite the same but is close enough. So the rule to type them is hence the same: type the underlying letter + w.
For example, to get ă, your typing sequence is "aw".
Similarly, "ow" for ơ and "uw" for ư. Simple as that !
How about typing the 5 tone marks on special as well as non-special letters, just go into this section.
The very 1st one is high-rising tone, á = as, here is the rule : you'll type the vowel you need to type + s = it would result in the vowel with the acute accent placed on top of it.
For example: Ố= oo to get the Ô then you type s to get the Ố. Or Ứ = uw +s.
So you'll type the vowel you need to type + s = it would result in the vowel with the acute accent placed on top of it.
How bout the low-falling tone: here is the rule: you'll type the vowel you need to type + f = it would result in the vowel with the grave accent placed on top of it: à = af.
For example: ồ = oo +f, ừ = uw +f.
How bout the low-broken tone: here is the rule: you'll type the vowel you need to type + j = it would result in the vowel with the dot placed below it.
For example: ạ = aj, ộ= oo + j.
The low-rising tone ? You'll type the vowel you need to type + r = it would result in the vowel with the hook placed on it.
For example: ả = ar, ổ = oo +r.
The high-broken tone ? You'll type the vowel you need to type + x = it would result in the vowel with the tilde placed on top of it.
For example: ã = ax, Ỗ= oo + x.
Same goes with the other vowels: To make it short, acute accent("´") - s, grave accent ("`") - f, hook(" ̉ ") - r, tilde("~") - x, dot(".") - j.
Hope you all can make the most out of what I just told you to get access to all kind of sources in Vietnamese for lifelong learning.
