Getting around
Learn how to ask where a place is, show an address and confirm a destination. Keeping the Vietnamese name of your destination on your phone can also make communication with a driver easier.
Shopping and asking prices
“Bao nhiêu tiền?” lets you ask how much something costs. Numbers are especially useful at markets, for transport and for small purchases.
When something goes wrong
Prepare a few phrases to ask for help, say that you do not understand or explain an emergency. For important situations, also use written translation to reduce misunderstandings.
