Fruits

YouTube sent me this video on fruits.  I have made notes so you too can learn how to call these fruits.

She says ba1sag4 巴剎 and I say ci6dion5 市場 which means market.

She says ua2 ke3 ba1sag4 bhoi2 n1guê2 我去巴剎買青果。 and I say ua2 ke3 ci6dion5 bhoi2 n1guain2 我去市場買青果。I went to the market to buy fruits.

She speaks clearly and her pronunciation is very good.
