Are there any other Vietnamese learners out there with a sore throat?
I’m a Korean who started learning Vietnamese a few days ago. I’m devoting most of my time to it since I'm on vacation, but my throat hurts every time I practice....
Is it because there are so many voiced and implosive sounds unlike my native language, or because I’m focusing so much on the tones? I never experienced this kind of pain while learning other languages....
Fortunately, it’s not so bad that I can’t speak, but it is annoying. Do you think it will get better as I practice more? Or am I doing something wrong?

+ Edit)
As I kept practicing and focused on my throat, I figured out the cause... It was just the IMPLOSIVE CONSONANTS! Oh my.... (So all Vietnamese people have vocal cords strong enough to handle this sound, huh?😂😂😂😂)
I’m going to keep practicing to build up my throat muscles until this soreness goes away. Thanks!
