Your Vietnamese learning map
16 lessons and about 3001 words and phrases, from your first hello to a quiz on geography and history. Play them in order — each lesson uses the words the earlier ones taught.
How each level works
Every lesson is cut into levels of about ten words, plus a Lesson Summary at the end. Play each level's parts in order, then move up a level:
- AListenFriends read the new words to you in speech bubbles. Nothing to answer — just listen, even with the screen off.
- BClassA teacher tests the same words: pick the meaning, then put sentences in order.
- CApplyUse the words for real — serve a diner, drive a cab, go on a date. No timer and no failing.
- DMatchOptional review: match every word to its meaning on a board of tiles.
Finish a lesson's Summary before the next lesson. Travelling soon? Do Lessons 1–3 first, then jump to the Travelling stage.
