Informative and fascinating

Vietnamese culture is so much different than mine. It is so easy to misunderstand others or have them misunderstand me. But this book was helpful and eye-opening! I feel like I understand so much more of the unsaid things that everyone else there already knows. This book didn’t just make me feel like I would fit in better, but it was also fascinating. I’ve always loved how unique cultures can be and this book showcased some of the most interesting and beautiful Vietnamese customs. My favorite was the chapter about festivals. It sounds so exciting!

Very informative!

This audiobook has been a huge help as I learn about Vietnamese culture, which is perfect since I've been thinking about living there for a while. It covers everything from family and marriage norms to religious practices and even local taboos. I really liked how each section starts with a creative metaphor that makes the topics come alive. It's also been great learning to pronounce important Vietnamese words properly, understanding body language, and getting to know traditions like Têt. If you're planning to connect deeply with Vietnam, this book is a must-have!
