Similar to Chinese New Year , Vietnamese also celebrate the beginning of the spring and their new year is called Tết. Happy New Year greeting in Vietnamese - It’s “chúc mừng năm mới”.
It’s interesting to learn the Vietnamese language, especially when nobody really speaks English, it important to know the language. And the very first word I learned is “Tit Cho”. It means dog meat. Just want to make sure that no “Tit Cho” in my noodle soup.
