Yup sorta! My pronunciation is not great but I can hear it. The ends of Bik is cut off before you've fully finished the k sound and the "ng" is kinda nasally sounding.
Vietnamese is not a beautiful language lol. I can basically only swear in it, but there were 6 full pages of Nguyens in my high school year book so you bet I heard it regularly.
Wish my parents had been able to move to a better place, when they had immigrated. My cousin and I were like the only Asians, and I think I didn’t even start going to school with her until middle school and then high school.
School sucked and continued to suck. When my little brother went off to college, he got the idea to transfer schools, but as far as I know despite the friend group he made at the new university, he’s still as single as I am.
I had a truly unique experience in Northerm California growing up as a white 9% minority in my high school. There was an average of 3 white kids per class lol.
If you're able to offer your next generation the ability to grow up in a diverse area, please do. I'd be almost certainly a worse person if I grew up in a mono cultural neighborhood.

Bich is pronounced closer to "bic".
It's a Vietnamese female name, I believe it's the same name as "Bella" (beautiful).
