-A Vietnamese word that can be used as the First name(Nguyên, Nguyện), Surname(Nguyên) and Last name(Nguyễn) (rarely at the same time, and sometimes 2/3) (1)
-More than half of Vietnameses have family name Nguyen(Nguyễn)
-Hard to read af
-How to read the word Nguyen: Imma divide the word Nguyễn)i'm gonna use Nguyễn instead of Nguyen from now) into 3 part:
+The NG sound
+The UYEN sound
+The ~ sound(the tonal mark sound)
-Step 1: NG sound
+Say the word DOING
+Remove DO and I, you are left with the NG
+Say "uh" while releasing the part of the tounge which is blocking you mouth
+Keep practice until you can say it without having any trouble
-Step 2: UYEN sound
+Say each letter individually ( /u/, /i/, /ə/, /n/ )
+Say each letter faster and faster until you can combine 4 letters to 1 sound
+Practice more
-Step 3: combine the 2 sounds, practice until you don't have trouble saying Nguyên
-Last step: the ~
+Imagine... a hentai girl moaning (not kidding), but instead of yamete (Yãmẽtẽ), she moans Nguyễn
+Do your best to replicate the sound(i tried my best here, cuz you don't have tonal marks in the english alphabet)
-> and the result: You can say Nguyễn now, it takes lots of practice, but i believe you can make it
