Vietnam uses the same written numbers as we do, but the spoken words for them is different. But, because I know how important it is to learn the numbers and be able to use them, when asking the price of something I want to eat or buy, I learned the numbers quickly. I'm going to write the number, how to pronounce it, then how it is written in Vietnamese (but without the tone marks).
1- mot- mot One thing that happened all the time was when I would ask, in Vietnamese, "how much?" the people would try and hold up fingers or show me the amount of money it cost. When I would count for them in Vietnamese they would get this big smile on their face because it seems that few tourists actually learn the numbers.
