Tôi không khỏe — Saying you do not feel well
Say that you do not feel well, describe a few basic symptoms naturally in Vietnamese, and ask simple questions without turning the lesson into medical diagnosis or a full grammar lesson on bị.
Tôi cần đi khám — Finding a doctor, clinic or pharmacy
Find a doctor, clinic or pharmacy, state a basic need or appointment, and ask for repetition when health-service language becomes unfamiliar.
Phải, nên, không nên — What you have to do and what is advisable
Distinguish practical obligation from advice with phải, nên and không nên, while keeping phải không?, không phải and vì... nên... separate.
Được, không được, ...được không? — Permission and practical possibility
Consolidate familiar Beginner uses of được for permission, practical possibility, acceptance and everyday ability without trying to teach every meaning of the word.
Một ngày không theo kế hoạch — Beginner final review
Bring the Beginner course together through one ordinary day that changes unexpectedly: health, directions, service interactions, a changed plan, a short message and communication repair.
