The winner, if he continues to challenge and wins 4 consecutive numbers of King of Vietnamese, will receive a prize of 320 million VND. Artist Xuan Bac continues to host season 3.

Will season 3 of King of Vietnamese have less mistakes?

King of Vietnamese is a rare game show that exploits the Vietnamese language.

Through that, players and TV viewers can understand and learn how to use Vietnamese more correctly and clearly.

Introducing King of Vietnamese season 3

However, looking back at the journey of seasons 1 and 2, it can be seen that King of Vietnamese was still "picked up" by the audience and linguists with many mistakes.

For example, King of Vietnamese sometimes has misspelled answers: "Xoa luan" is written incorrectly as "xoao luan", "chấm lagging" is written as "chấm chẹ".

The game show made a mistake when it asserted that the word "lang lo" has no meaning, it is just a misspelling of "loang lo", while "lang lo" and "loang lo" are two words with similar meanings.

In another episode, the contestant had to choose between "dùm dó" or "rùm ró". The correct answer was "rùm ró". However, "dùm dó" is not misspelled.

In addition, the advisory board's explanation of "fake it" is also incorrect.

Through the above mistakes, the audience hopes that the producer needs to be more careful when giving questions and answers.

At the same time, many people think that the title of King of Vietnamese given to the winner is too great for a TV game show.

The final round of King of Vietnamese no longer writes poetry or finds words

According to the announcement of the organizing committee, season 3 of King of Vietnamese still goes through four rounds: reflex, interpretation, chaining and usurpation.

The first three rounds have not changed much. In the usurpation round, the gameplay is completely new.

If in season 1 contestants wrote poems, in season 2 contestants searched for single and compound words, then in season 3 finalists will go through three challenges of finding horizontal and vertical words according to the program's theme.

The player who wins round 4 is crowned "king".

To keep their throne, they need to challenge the winners of the next episodes.

The winner and the one who holds the throne for four consecutive numbers will receive a prize of up to 320 million VND.

Associate Professor Dr. Pham Van Tinh - one of the advisors - explained in the program that: "Crossword game is a very popular game in the world .

Vietnam has applied it a lot in teaching and playing situations. Round 4 is difficult, 15 seconds to find the answer for a row is very challenging for players.

Poet Lu Mai - advisor of the program King of Vietnamese - said: "Multi-dimensional feedback is a valuable asset that the audience brings.

We have many things to cultivate, many things we need to reflect on, need to think more, longer and wider so that our Vietnamese language capital can be preserved and spread more widely.
