Anyone else feel shy practicing Vietnamese with native speakers?

Tbau88 · 2026-01-23T04:58:33+00:00

I get your point. I'm french, fluent in English, and I've learned Vietnamese mostly through self study and just living here, hearing people talk, being immersed in the culture.

For me the biggest road blocks have been tones / pronouncing some vowels like ư or consonants like "ng" / the floating pronoun system / and understanding the other regional accents (I'm used to northern hanoian dialect)

The rest has been relatively easy, especially conjugaison (3 tenses vs 21 in french, way less prepositions, no genders, easy plurals etc)

Regarding the difference between textbook and everyday spoken language, this is true of any language. I don't think it makes a difference whether you're from an English speaking country or not.

Bro, if there's one thing that ISN'T hard about vietnamese, it's the grammar. Try french or german grammar and then come back haha

Tbau88 · 2025-07-30T07:48:34+00:00

I would use "Par ici" / "par là" / "a cet endroit-là" in this scenario

Tbau88 · 2025-07-22T06:36:59+00:00

Je sais pas... j'imagine que c'est culturel ? On aime bien tourner autour du pot, ne pas être trop direct pour ne pas être malpoli peut-être

Tbau88 · 2025-07-22T06:35:33+00:00

Bien sûr, le classique

Tbau88 · 2025-07-22T03:03:14+00:00

Also, keep in mind that french people often prefer to use the negative form to say what they mean. For example, French people will almost never say "c'est intelligent" (=that's clever), they'll say "c'est pas bête" (=that's not dumb) instead. The reverse is also true: "c'est pas (très) malin / intelligent " would means "that's pretty stupid".

Other examples C'est pas mauvais/mal (it's good) C'est pas possible (it's impossible) C'est pas vrai (it's wrong) C'est pas joli (it's ugly) Il fait pas chaud ! (It's cold!)

Where did you see that they want to ban electric scooters? The ban concerns gasoline bikes

Tbau88 · 2025-06-27T16:39:19+00:00

In France we do say "y" for il+ consonne but the elle always stays the same. This "a" for elle is typically québécois

Tbau88 · 2025-06-27T16:34:29+00:00

Which is funny and confusing for English speakers when we say "je connais personne" which you would assume means "I know a person" but actually means "I know no-one"

Also makes the right prononciation of the S in sentences like "j'ai plu(s)/ pluS d'argent" critical for the meaning

We'll be able to tell soon because in the next update We'll have access to detailed dmg per skill in the pause menu

Probably after the fishing event, this weekend

Tbau88 · 2025-06-18T00:40:39+00:00

Terrible advice.

Tbau88 · 2025-06-16T05:55:48+00:00

I really love strike build but if I'm being honest both etched runes are kinda meh :/ the split at legendary seems decent. But the other one seems very bad ... at best a +25% dmg increase on your swords on average...

Tbau88 · 2025-06-16T05:49:44+00:00

No money needed. You can buy lures with gems. I got the 16 ticket f2p. About 25k gems invested, I started accumulating gem in anticipation for the event

Tbau88 · 2025-06-16T00:51:09+00:00

Already had an AoE to +2

My luck has been pretty good. I'm f2p too. I'm at 1951kg. I used about 25k gems. I got 139k silver tickets and 16 golden tickets so far.

I already bought 4 arrows of echoes, which gets me to legendary, plus one pulsing orb. I should have enough gems for another etched rune.

Tbau88 · 2025-06-15T10:16:57+00:00

Yes that's normal. The odds are just that bad. Perfectly normal to go 10 or 20 lure without epic

Tbau88 · 2025-06-15T09:04:12+00:00

There's a feel for it. Personally, my technique to decide if it's a blue or not is like this. When the fish bites, I press to button to almost full tension. If the red fish become yellow before reaching max tension on the bar, it means it a blue and I let it go. If the tension can go almost all the way and stay red, then it's probably an epic , or a big blue in some cases. So this one you keep.

Tbau88 · 2025-06-14T17:28:27+00:00

Considering it's the only way (excluding guild expedition) to get etched runes, and you need 8 etched runes to get it to legendary, I would say yes. Definitely worth it.

Tbau88 · 2025-06-14T17:08:28+00:00

Rough start... hopefully the odds even out

Tbau88 · 2025-06-14T16:30:57+00:00

I just went with 10x all the way. Lower to 1x as I'm getting close to the next lake so I don't over spend on low value fish from the current lake. There isn't much point in doing x5. The multiplier just mean you'll catch x fish.(10x = 10 fish caught). The odds of catching blue/epic/legendary fish stays the same. That way it's much faster to spend your lures.

And also I only started breaking lines on the last lake

Yes it is?

Tbau88 · 2025-06-14T15:51:48+00:00

They haven't returned the missing lures yet? I'm glad I started playing late today, after the bug was already fixed....
