Vietnamese names?

Hi, everyone! I'm trying to pronounce two names, and I think they're Vietnamese.

"Nguyen"
"Truc-Anh"

Can anyone give me a non-IPA guide to how these might be pronounced? I wish I were fluent in IPA but, alas, I have yet to study it in-depth.

Thanks very much in advance!

EDIT: Thanks! I think I have enough to go on. I'll have to ask in person, but this should help!! :D

  • Polish translation, please

    A coworker gave my dad this bottle of vodka (it has grass in it!), and I'm dying to know what the text says. Can anyone help?

    Two questions for speakers of Swedish: - Trygghet: I've seen it translated as "security, safety, confidence, certainty, trust".…

  • some Arabic (?) phrases

    These are from a novel from Philip Roth. I'm sure the author doesn't speak Arabic, so presumably he had somebody to translate and transliterate…
