“Xin chào” & More Greetings In Vietnamese

The idea of saying hello is not a secret, not even something new. Saying hello is a tale as old as time. And it never goes out of style. You can say hello to a stranger, an ex, an enemy, a frenemy, a dog, a cat, a very cute hippo called Moo Deng. Basically, you can say hello to anyone and everyone and that makes the world go round. If you’re not in the mood to say hello, you can use other greetings too and that is okay!

PS – if you don’t know who Moo Deng is, that’s too bad. But here is a cute picture of her cutely encouraging you to learn a language.
