A to V—Vietnamese Letters That Look Like Magic
The Vietnamese alphabet may use the Latin script, but it comes with some extra sparkle! With accents, hooks, and squiggles, each letter can tell a different story. For kids, these visual twists turn words into fun puzzles to solve.
Meet the Magical Letters
Vietnamese has 29 letters—some look familiar, others don’t appear in English at all. Say hello to:
- Ă – short A
- Â – a deeper A
- Ê – like “ay”
- Ô – rounded O
- Ơ – open and long
- Ư – a sound all its own!
Plus, there are tone marks that sit above or below letters like crowns and tails. They change how the letters sound—like music notes in writing.
Why It’s Fun for Kids
Because Vietnamese letters look so unique, kids often get curious right away. Platforms like Dinolingo help build on that curiosity by introducing these characters with catchy visuals, animations, and matching games. Each letter feels like discovering a secret symbol!
