basic vietnamese phrases that actually helped me

Xin chao = hello

Cam on = thank you (use it constantly)

Bao nhieu tien? = how much?

Khong cay = not spicy

Tinh tien = the bill please

Tones are hard but people get it from context. Learned these in my first week as a saigon digital nomad and they covered 90% of daily life.
