You want to learn how to say the colours in Vietnamese? Then this is the perfect course for you! In the following tables, you can find all the important colours including the colour shades and hair colours in the Vietnamese language. Moreover, we will discuss with you the specific meanings behind certain colours.
'Màu' is the word for colour and you use it in combination with the different colours when you don't describe an object directly. Therefore, if you are referring to someone or something, you can just use the colour. Only when it comes to the colour yellow and orange, you have to distinguish them clearly as the two combinations mean something different: màu vàng (yellow), vàng (gold) / màu cam (orange) / cam (orange fruit).
Colour | English | Vietnamese |
---|---|---|
![]() | black | đen |
![]() | white | trắng |
![]() | grey | xám |
![]() | red | đỏ |
![]() | purple | tím |
![]() | brown | nâu |
![]() | pink | hồng |
![]() ![]() | blue / green | xanh |
![]() | yellow | màu vàng |
![]() | orange | màu cam |
![]() | silver | xám bạc |
In Vietnamese xanh is used to refer both to the colours blue and green. If you want to make the difference clear, use xanh da trời for sky blue and xanh lá cây for tree leaves green.

To indicate the shade of a colour, use nhạt for light and đậm for dark. They are placed after the colour:
Colour | English | Vietnamese |
---|---|---|
![]() | dark blue | xanh đậm |
![]() | light blue | xanh nhạt |
If you refer to a hair colour, use tóc in front of the colour. It literally means hair.
English | Vietnamese |
---|---|
blond | tóc vàng |
brown | tóc nâu |
black | tóc đen |
red | tóc đỏ |
grey | tóc hoa râm |
The colours have different meanings in the Vietnamese culture, than in most European countries. E.g. on a funeral in Vietnam everybody is dressed in white.
Colour | Meaning |
---|---|
black | dark, evil, filth |
white | purity, death, the end |
red | happiness, luck, celebration, love |
yellow | wealth, prosperity, royalty, happiness, change |
green | jealousy, lust |
blue | calmness, hope, growth |
pink | femininity |
purple | nostalgia, sadness, fragility, tenderness |
You will hopefully be able to name all the different colours and their meanings in Vietnamese now! Test your knowledge with our free exercises!

Dear Learner,
I am a certified English teacher and have taught English since 2006. My specialization is teaching Business English in higher education in the fields of International Business, Commerce, Entrepreneurship, and Management. I also teach English and Greek online to adult professionals. I genuinely love sharing my knowledge, and helping learners achieve their learning goals.
I believe each person has different learning preferences and styles that benefit them. In my classes, I aim to investigate with my learners how they learn best and subsequently tailor our lessons to their strengths, needs and interests.
I have ample teaching resources from course books and journal excerpts to fun learning online puzzles. I can help you speak more confidently and eloquently in a business environment, improve your writing or presentation skills, prepare for an interview or brush up your grammar.
I am looking forward to teaching you.
Warm regards,
Anastasia

Hi everybody, my name is Tra My, I have been living in Barcelona for 5 years. I speak Spanish, English, Vietnamese, a little Portuguese and Chinese. I have 4-year experience of teaching Vietnamese language to foreigners. However, I think language is not enough. If you would like to travel, study, work, live in Vietnam, or just look for a Vietnamese partner, you need to know more about Vietnamese culture. Additionally, I was working as a lawyer in Vietnam, so I can advise you on how to start a business in Vietnam and obtain residency permits. We will talk together about it in my classes. I will accompany you from knowing nothing about Vietnam until you can negotiate the price with the Vietnamese people :) I look forward to seeing you in my classes!

Hello,
My name is Zlatko. I believe that learning Bulgarian online with me gives you the best of both worlds: fast progress and enjoyment.Taking on the challenge to learn a new language is impressive. The reasons might be different. Some people give it a go because they just like new things. Others need to learn a new language because they are moving to a country where the language is spoken. Remember that whatever your reason is, it is your motivation that is the key to successful learning.
Who am I and why to pick me:
- online and face-to-face teaching experience: over 15 years helping hundreds of students achieve their language goals
- flexibility: willing to tailor my techniques to both your interests and specific needs
- patience and excellent listening skills
- honesty and collaboration: let's build trust and consider our work as a partnership
- native Bulgarian speaker with oustanding educational background
- sense of humour
Material
All lessons are interlinked to promote better and more memorable learning, with the flexibility to pick out key sections to focus on certain language points. All language is clearly signposted and scaffolded so there is great clarity of progression of learning - students can really feel they are getting somewhere.
In general, my teaching style includes, but is not limited to:
- speaking practice through role-play activities
- stotytelling and discussions
- gap filling excercises
- listening comprehension
- vocabulary development
- accent reduction
How does that grab you? If interested, drop me a line and we will discuss your language goals and expectations.
I OFFER a 15 MINUTE TRIAL LESSON TO DEMONSTRATE WHAT MY TEACHING METHOD LOOKS LIKE.
Hope to see you soon.
Here are a few tips on how to get the most out of every lesson:
1. Review what you covered in your previous lesson.
2. Focus on things you had difficulty with. I will definitely go over them.
3. It is always a great idea to take notes during your lessons. It helps you stay more focused on what you are learning.
4. Feel free to ask me if anything has come up since your last lesson that you want clarification on. Your questions do not have to be prior lesson related, maybe you are just curious about how to say something.
5. Be sure you have completed your homework assignments. If you were not able to complete them, make notes about what stumped you. Were the instructions not clear enough, was the vocabulary beyond your level of comprehension, were the grammar rules too overwhelming, was there too much homework for the time you had planned to spend on it, and so on.
6. Contact me prior to your next lesson if there are any issues or changes you would like to make me aware of so I can have a chance to make changes to your learning plan.
I look forward to seeing you in my lessons.

Zlatko has an excellent teaching style and adapts to your learning ability. I am an older pupil and have found the learning pace manageable and have remained motivated. Zlatko has developed his own teaching material that is a good mix of vocabulary, grammar and phrases. I have no hesitation in recommending him as a teacher.

Hello everbody,
I am an experienced and teaching-passionate language professional offering tailor-made Croatian (all levels), General English (Elementary, Beginner's, Intermediate & Upper-intermediate level) and Russian (Elementary & Intermediate level) Conversation lessons as well as Business English.
The lessons are structured according to student's needs with a variety of interesting topics. A range of different teaching materials is used. I tend to apply mostly visual aids as, according to my experience, they help students most in memorising new words and language structures.
During the lessons we are focusing on further development of communication skills but we are also exploring vocabulary, grammar and culture. We read and discuss various texts, analyze grammatical issues, listen to conversations and songs, play games and quizzes and more than anything, we TALK! That makes conversation lessons always interesting, useful and likeable.
As an open and friendly person with an international family and experience of life in other countries, I enjoy meeting people of other cultures. I would be happy to get a chance to help people all over the world to learn the languages I teach. Perhaps you as well?
Welcome! Dobro došli! Добро пожаловать! Welkom!

Hi, my name is Stefany and I am Colombian, but I live on the small island of Malta. I love teaching Spanish in this place because I have the opportunity to do it in many ways: on the beach, in a Cafe, or in a house. This allows me to be flexible and resourceful to give dynamic and effective classes that adapt to the needs of my students. I encourage you to book a free trial class with me, so you can find a fun and easy way to learn Spanish.

Stefany is a great teacher, with only 12 sessions and I already feel a great improvement in my Spanish language skills! She uses very interactive material such as games and videos. She takes into account your level and goals and tailors the classes in a way that is more suitable for you! I am also really happy with her explanations and examples, which have been really helpful in understanding new topics, vocabulary, and grammar! I am very satisfied with the choice of teacher I have made and can highly recommend reaching out to her and starting your Spanish language acquisition journey with Stefany by your side!

He lived more than 15 years in Argentina, so I can teach the culture and accents of the two countries perfectly. Dare to learn with me!
I am a profesional teacher certificated by Cervantes Institute of Spain.
I like to focus the lessons on communication between student and teacher because the goal is your fluency is getting better. So in my lessons you will talk a lot. I'm very patient. You will have the time you need to form your sentences and always with my help. I will teach you a colloquial and more used vocabulary so that you speak like a native!
In my lessons we will work on all language skills, especially oral expression and comprehension. My lessons have the following structure:
-Review of the previous day
-New material
-Additional activity
-Correction by email.
We can focus on grammar points in general, always from a communicative perspective using books, powerpoints, videos, activities ... And we can also talk informally from of a topic we choose, newspaper articles, etc ...
The temary is customized according to your objectives with Spanish.
Let us begin!

I am French and works as a tour guide in Bordeaux and I am also teaching English, French and Japanese languages to adults and children. I started working as a teacher at Berlitz School when I
living in Japan to learn the culture and we had to use Berlitz method to teach, using sometimes pictures to introduce new vocabulary and others kind of tools for grammar...
The result is just amazing ! With that method , the students improve themselves very quickly. So now I am still doing the same and depending on the request, adapt the method. However, the main part of my lesson is based on conversation.
