Tôi học tiéng Viẹt. (I'm learning Vietnamese.)
I'm learning Vietnamese and recently decided I need to start writing up some of my vocabulary so I will remember it. Back 1994 when I first started learning Vietnamese you had to run these totally hokey add ons so you could type the accents and the special characters.
I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Mac OS has support for Vietnamese (and most other languages) built right in. Here's a one page summary of how to do this. Basically you just select Vietnamese in the system preferences and then you can type Vietnamese and easily switch back and forth between English and Vietnamese keyboard mappings.
(This doesn't seem to be the case for Windows. Everyone I've met here seems to use some sort of add on to make this work in Windows.)
Vietnamese is a rare Asian language that uses a westernized script. Like Chinese, Vietnamese is a tonal language. This means that words have a different meaning depending on how you say them. In English we use tones very differently. For instance, we use an up tone to indicate questions. When you say 'Are you sure?' your voice goes up. In Vietnamese there are 5 tones that are written as accents. The accents are always on the vowels. Here is an example with the letter e: è, ẻ, ẽ, é, and ẹ. The first 4 go above the letter, the last goes under it. There are other accent marks but these are not tonal but indicate different sounds. For instance the letter 'd' makes the 'y' sound so the Vietnamese word 'de' sounds like 'yea'. However, the letter đ sounds like the English letter d as in dog. The Vietnamese word đi (dee) means to go. Vietnamese is missing some letters that we have. They don't have J or Z. There are a few special versions of certain vowels: ă, â, ê, ô, ư, and ơ. I won't even try to explain in text how to pronounce these, right now this is the hardest part for me. The tones are much easier than trying to figure out the difference between the sound of a versus ê. Oh well, practice makes perfect, if you practice perfect. And therein lies the rub.
In order to type Vietnamese characters on your Mac you will first need to set Vietnamese as one of your preferred languages. To do this go into your System Preferences, select the Language & Region section and hit the plus symbol to add Vietnamese as a preferred language (as per the screenshot below).

VietNamNet Bridge - At first, the 2-sim iPhone XS Max caught special attention from Vietnamese iPhone fans. However, the price of the version plunged after users experienced some problems.Edimax ac1200 driver windows 10.
The price of 2-sim iPhone XS Max has decreased
The first iPhone XS Max in Vietnam was brought from Singapore. This was a 512 GB version for at VND79 million. Just one day later, 2-sim iPhone XS Max sourced from Hong Kong arrived in Vietnam.
According to VnExpress, on September 21, the first 2-sim iPhone XS Max sourced from Hong Kong had the sky-high price of VND60-80 million.
On September 28, the price dropped to below VND30 million for 64 GB model. The 256 GB and 512 GB are now sold at VND33.5 million and VND42 million, respectively.
A representative of an iPhone shop on Le Hong Phong street in HCMC said on Zing.vn that the first days, more than 70 percent of customers chose to buy the iPhone XS Max with two physical sims, because this is the new feature of this year's iPhone series.
'Vietnamese prefer 2-sim phones because they can use one sim for making/receiving calls, and use the other sim for accessing the internet.

However, since iPhone XS and XS Max from the US arrived in Vietnam, the market has witnessed big changes. The US version is more favorable.
'In principle, the quality of brandnew iPhones is the same in all markets. However, Vietnamese still prefer products from the US rather than China and Hong Kong,' said The Long, manager of a shop on 3 Thang 2 street in HCMC.
The price of the 2-sim iPhone version has dropped also because of the information that the 2-physical-sim version cannot work well in Vietnam.
Some people complained on an hi-tech forum that the machine is weak at catching waves. When users make calls, the phone will automatically interrupt an internet connection for 10 seconds.
In addition, users also complained that the machine doesn't display the type of sim when receiving messages/calls.
Meanwhile, some people said they don't intend to buy 2-sim iPhones because of the complexity.
'I think the 2-sim version is really inconvenient and more difficult to use,' said Bao Ngoc, a university student.
Zing.vn reported that 2-sim iPhone XS Max are priced at between VND31.4 million and VND46.2 million, or VND2-3 million lower than the US version.
Vietnamese now are rushing to buy iPhone XS Max, and are indifferent to iPhone XS. This is because iPhone XS has the design and screen size nearly the same with the ‘predecessor' iPhone X, while the price is much higher.
'We still cannot sell any iPhone XS so far,' said Minh Tuan, the owner of a shop in HCMC.
