A Study of Tour Guide Language in Vietnam

In fact, you don't have to worry about language barriers when traveling overseas, because the tourism in the countries you usually go to is basically formal, so you can basically understand the meanings of some very simple English words and Chinese words. Otherwise, it is feasible to use body language or translation software, but I actually have to recommend using translation software, because experience tells me that it is not as easy as body language.

What's more, outbound travel is nothing more than asking the price, finding the way, taking a taxi, communicating with the driver and so on.

When you ask the price of something, you can directly say how much it costs, and the other party will tell you. If you want to bargain with that kind of vendor, you can say it's cheaper and the other party will understand. If it really doesn't work, use body language, and the other person can understand. Never underestimate body language.

As for asking the way, forget it. It is better to use Google Maps directly, which is more useful. And even if we ask the way, the other party may not understand.

For taking a taxi, it is better to ask the hotel front desk to call a taxi, which will be safer. The kind of person who stops by the side of the road and offers to take you to the car. Forget it. I have suffered from all its pits myself.

For example, my roommate and I both graduated from Vietnam. Before going, I had all kinds of worries, such as language barrier, inconvenient transportation and unfamiliar places. As a result, I found that hotel service personnel can basically speak English. Even if our English is poor and we can only speak basic vocabulary, the other party can understand the meaning and give us answers. Secondly, when we buy some local snacks at roadside stalls, the way of communication is to point to one of them and ask, well, what will the other person understand and tell you in English. If not, if you don't understand English, the other party will speak Chinese. If the other party can't say it, he will tell you the price with his mobile phone, don't worry.

As for transportation, we take the local bus. I remember that we were on a self-help tour, and the cars were all booked online in advance. Then, we took a sleeper bus for one night. The next morning, we were arranged in a very remote place and asked to transfer to another school by ourselves. As a result, we were trapped by the locals for a hundred oceans. Therefore, the subsequent trips, if you want to take a bus, are all booked by the hotel, and the price is actually not expensive. When I arrived in Da Nang, I rented a motorcycle in the hotel to ride along the coastline, which was super comfortable.

Finally, I want to say that there is nothing to be afraid of. Outbound travel is really not a communication problem, but I suggest that if it is the first time to leave the country. It is best to join a group and wait for some experience before going abroad to play!

2. What if I can't speak Vietnamese when I go to Vietnam?

1. Do a detailed strategy before going. When you arrive in Vietnam, you should try to check the place names, hotel names, scenic spots, station names, etc. Then check how they are written in Vietnamese. Write all these down in Vietnamese first, and save all these related pictures in your mobile phone. When you get there, you can ask the locals.

Please ask the local tour guide who can speak Chinese. If you are uneasy about local tour guides in Vietnam, you can also find China students to be tour guides in Vietnam through channels.

Now there are all kinds of translated apps. Download some translated apps before you go. Both offline and online apps should be prepared in advance, and then download Vietnamese first.

Sometimes, if you can ttell, you can also make full use of body movements, which is also an effective means than drawing what you want to express.

Try to travel to Vietnam with friends or relatives. It would be better if some colleagues knew Vietnamese or English. If not, more people will take care of them.

If you happen to have a Chinese-speaking friend traveling with you, you can ask and go together. Even if you can, you can't go with them. You can ask them for help.

In fact, with the increasing influence of China, people in tourist attractions in many countries can speak a little simple Chinese, and some very simple communication is still possible.

Attention: Be careful of others, especially abroad. Pay attention to your

3. What if I can't speak Vietnamese when traveling to Vietnam?

First of all, are you confident? Many people lack confidence in learning a foreign language and think they can do it, but I can't. Over time, they will become real learners. Can't learn well. Therefore, if you want to learn Vietnamese well, you must first tell yourself that I can do it, I can learn it, and I will naturally have confidence if I make achievements from my heart.

Second, do you have the courage to say it? China people dare not say that they are afraid of being laughed at by others, but who hasn't stuttered for the first time? So if you want to learn Vietnamese well, don't be afraid of being laughed at. Even if what you say is wrong in nine cases out of ten, one thing is right. After a long time, you will become more and more right, and you will become more and more confident. This is the courage to learn a language, but also a necessary factor to learn a language well.

Third, can you stick to it. Many times, it's not that students can't study, but that they can't persist. If everyone wants to speak fluent Vietnamese, he must first have words and vocabulary in his stomach, otherwise, no matter how smart you are, don't say it. The accumulation of vocabulary is boring, and the process of reciting sentences is also boring. Whether this boring process can persist or not is very important for learning.

Fourth, whether there is a correct learning purpose. Modern people are often scrambling to learn, as if they were dead if they didn't succeed. Learning a language is also to get a certificate. In this state of mind, they can only learn superficial knowledge and the real charm of language, which they won, I didn't realize, so they will find it difficult. But when you make sure that your has different goals, you will find that your has different interests, so it is much easier to learn a language.

4. How to solve the language problem when going to Vietnam?

If I can't speak Vietnamese, how can you communicate in Vietnamese? Then you can use other ways, for example, you can use other dialects, some Vietnamese can speak English, you can communicate with them in English, or the locals can speak Chinese. Another way is that you can find an intermediary to do translation, and this intermediary can understand the dialects of the two countries.

5. Are there many tourist language problems in Vietnam?

1. Free travel? Do a good job in raiders and English notes! Breakthrough 2. Free travel? Make an appointment with an English speaking partner. 3. Follow a group.

6. Is Vietnamese difficult?

As far as my own experience is concerned, I studied Vietnamese for 8 months in the Vietnam Department of the National University of Science, Society and Humanities in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Of course, after studying for 3 months, I can use simple Vietnamese conversation in my life and initially reach the level of self-care.

7. What should I do if the tourist language in Vietnam is unreasonable?

1. Mobile phone translates body language. This is definitely a good way to avoid speaking English and Vietnamese. This is what Xiaoyu did when she first came to Vietnam, and all the way was unimpeded.

2. Find a local translator. You don't care about money, and I don't care, because. It's best to find a Chinese translator, which can not only save time, but also get to know the city quickly under the guidance of translators. S more suitable for friends who travel. As for the cost, each tourist city is different. Generally, the daily price is around 260-350 yuan, which is slightly higher in Ho Chi Minh and slightly lower in other cities.

People have been communicating. Communication includes many aspects, of which verbal communication and nonverbal communication are the two most important. Spoken language and written language are two main ways of language communication. As a form of nonverbal communication, nonverbal communication mainly includes explicit behaviors such as eyes, gestures, intonation, touch, body movements, facial expressions, and non-explicit information revealed through space and clothing. Among them, the most widely used explicit behaviors are eyes, gestures, touch, body movements and facial expressions.

Because of this, stine, an American behaviorist, calls explicit behavior in nonverbal communication body language, also known as body language. Although body language is silent, it has a clear and accurate meaning, which concerns each of us. Personal life is closely related. For example, on Sunday, my wife who has been busy all morning just fell asleep after lunch. You gently open the window and let your daughter who is playing downstairs go home to do her homework.

In order not to wake your wife, you didn't stop calling your daughter loudly, but waved to her. When my daughter saw your gesture, she immediately understood what you meant and hurried home. At this time, you raised your hand and looked at your watch. It's not 1: 30 yet, so I think I can let my daughter play for a while. So, you waved to your daughter who came home.

After seeing your gesture, my daughter thought about it, and then turned her head to play with her friends. In the whole process, you communicated with your daughter twice without saying a word, only through two simple movements of your hand. Similarly, the traffic police on the street also rely on this silent body language to direct passing cars and pedestrians.

Some purposeful actions can be seen as signals of behavior. For example, in the bookstore, someone tiptoes to take books from the bookshelf. We know that he wants to read this book. Although he has stood on tiptoe, he can still reach me. At this time, the tall clerk next to him noticed his movements, so he picked up the book from the shelf and handed it to the customer.

How does the clerk know the customer's psychology? Because this cautious behavior of customers shows a dilemma. Don't be ignored-; I need help! Different from the implicit euphemism in spoken language, the words expressed by our bodies are clear and accurate, although we often don't realize this.

An American communication scientist once put forward such a formula of information expression: all information expression =55% expression, 38% intonation and 7% language. From this formula, we can understand at least one truth. In daily interpersonal communication, information exchange through body language accounts for more than half, and the importance of body language in information exchange can also be seen.

Coincidentally, Freud, the originator of Austrian psychoanalysis, also believes that it is not enough to really understand the speaker only by speaking, which is deep psychology, that is, the unconscious field. Because spoken language often hides most of what the speaker wants to express, in order to truly understand the speaker's meaning, it is necessary to combine spoken language with body language.

Although silent body language plays a very important role in information communication, it cannot replace spoken language, because many rational meanings must be conveyed through implicit and euphemistic spoken language. In general social occasions, body language is rarely used as an independent communication function, and it often cooperates with and assists the spoken language to complete information exchange.

Body language, completely divorced from audio language, is not much better than sign language. Its spread is not only limited, but also difficult to convey some rational knowledge and explain some abstract topics, which will inevitably lead to poor information exchange. However, it is interesting that sometimes, once body language is combined with audio language, it is not audio language but body language that can accurately convey the inner thoughts and feelings of the speaker.

For example, a young girl told her psychiatrist that she loved her boyfriend very much, but at the same time she subconsciously shook her head, thus denying her words. It can be seen that in order to truly understand the meaning of the interviewee, we must carefully interpret the other person's body language and listen to his statement.

Similarly, if you want to accurately convey your views, opinions and ideas to each other, you should not only use spoken language, but also use accurate body language. Don't shake your head and tell me what to do, so as not to cause misunderstanding. Because your smile and gestures convey some meaning.

If it is at the junction of Vietnam and Guangxi, many Vietnamese can speak Chinese. If it is somewhere else, let's exchange English. The English level of Vietnamese people is generally higher than that of China people. At least the Vietnamese I met in Vietnam have good English. If your English is not very good, like me, I will use my poor English plus sign language. It can walk from North Vietnam to South Vietnam.

As for the visa, I personally suggest that you find a bigger travel agency and ask them to sign it for you. Save a lot of formalities and trouble, just spend 100-200 yuan, which is much more convenient than running the consulate yourself.

In addition, I personally suggest that if you travel to Vietnam, don't take RMB with you and change it into US dollars, because RMB is difficult to exchange there and there are not many places to exchange it.

Vietnam has its own language. Vietnamese is the national language and the only official language in Vietnam. 85-90% of Vietnamese is the mother tongue. Historically, Vietnamese was marked with Chinese characters and southern characters, but now, Chinese characters based on Latin letters are used with some new letters and tone symbols.

Early Vietnamese did not invent a writing system suitable for their own language. From about the Eastern Han Dynasty, Chinese characters (called Confucianism by Vietnamese) began to be introduced into Vietnam systematically and on a large scale.

Anyone who has studied Chinese can speak Chinese.

If you want to travel freely to Vietnam without a language barrier, it is not enough to rely solely on determination and courage. Especially for long-distance travel, you must make full preparations before going abroad, mainly in the following aspects:

1. Collect relevant information as much as possible. Information sources can be online travel notes and strategies, Chinese travel books of relevant countries, or people who have been consulted.

The information includes: itinerary, scenic spot name and background information, accommodation information, currency information, off-season information, traffic information, visa and entry and exit information, etc. Don't be ignorant of foreign languages. If they don't know, their trip may become very bad or even difficult.

Generally, information is collected online, mainly referring to travel websites, which have the most information and are the most comprehensive. Countries with China LP (Lonely Plane) also downloaded the reference, but LP seems to be very laborious.

Second, communication tools are also very important. It is needed when it is relatively difficult to fill in entry and exit documents, transit, apply for visas and withdraw money.

Both mobile phone and ipad can do translation, and you can use it after downloading and installing translation software. Both online and offline translation software are needed. When there is a network, it can use online translation to translate sentences. Although it is not very accurate, foreigners can understand the general meaning; Offline translation can only translate text, without network, it can only be used. At the critical moment, a word can solve the problem.

Third, it is very troublesome to get sick abroad because of the language barrier. Preparing all kinds of medicines is equivalent to bringing half a doctor. I have been sick abroad for three times. The first time, a small sore in Nepal cost me 4000 RMB to fly back to China, but I didn't. When I came back, I didn't take medicine. The second time I had diarrhea in Myanmar, I collapsed and took less medicine. I survived on the medicine of Anhui travelers. The third time I had a bad cold in the Philippines for a week, I took medicine to solve the problem myself. Because I want to go abroad, one third of my luggage is all kinds of medicines. Friends may find it funny, but people who don't find it funny, if you don't know a foreign language, it will definitely be difficult to go abroad.

After full preparation, the exchange abroad summarized the following points:

First, use body language as much as possible. This is called gesturing. The more exaggerated the action, the better. Try to express your meaning. Foreigners know that they can't speak a foreign language. I will try to understand it from another side. The point of view. No one will laugh. Even if they smiled, it was a friendly smile. It is important not to be afraid of others laughing. In fact, their traveling companions laugh the most. They are always laughing their heads off.

Second, write down the questions you want to ask in English or local language, such as place names, hotels, scenic spots, stations, etc. Then take it out and ask someone. You don't need words, you just need actions to solve the problem. Sometimes it is more useful than talking. It is quite convenient to take screenshots or photos of the information you find with your mobile phone or ipad.

Take a pen and paper. You can. I don't know. If you don't draw, you might as well draw. I don't understand them. If you give full play to your imagination, you can express yourself clearly. Another purpose is to let others write road signs and draw with foreigners on the road. Very practical.

Third, treat travel as a free study abroad and learn some common English words on the way. Not only can you learn and remember quickly.
