The book series "Beautiful Vietnamese Language" published by Tre Publishing House has so far published 11 titles, with contributions from authors who are language researchers and people with careers related to language, culture and writing in the country.
Among them, the two newest titles just released in 2024 are "Vietnamese is tricky and elegant" by author Le Minh Quoc and "Love songs in our country's language" by author Duong Thanh Truyen.
The book series uses familiar examples from the ancient Vietnamese language treasure and modern Vietnamese language today from many sources: folk songs, proverbs, newspapers, literary works, song lyrics, everyday language, and even internet language. Regional dialects are also an important content in this book series.
The event taking place on September 21st was also the first time readers had the opportunity to meet and talk directly with 5 prestigious authors in the fields of language, teaching and writing: Prof. Dr. Nguyen Duc Dan, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tran Thi Ngoc Lang, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Trinh Sam, Journalist Duong Thanh Truyen, Journalist Le Minh Quoc.
Journalist Le Minh Quoc - author of the book "Vietnamese is tricky and elegant" shared: "Like every other language in the world, Vietnamese must, must change over the years.
In the interaction with many languages and many different cultures, I imagine Vietnamese as a boat setting sail, sometimes peaceful, sometimes stormy, sometimes integrating, sometimes dissolving, but then we are confident, never straying from the path, because there is a "compass" to guide this inevitable journey.
For that reason, in this book and other books on Vietnamese, I always consciously choose to use it as basic material and language when explaining or learning about a certain word.
Also at the event, Tre Publishing House will have a display table and free reading of the rich and beautiful Vietnamese book series for readers.
This free reading program is part of the “Read with me” event series organized by Tre Publishing House, in which once a month, Tre Publishing House will organize free readings in public places of books of a certain genre.
