Easy Vietnamese

Easy Vietnamese is a beginner textbook for self-study or classroom use. It suits you if you want a structured start with short everyday dialogues and lots of practice, rather than an app or a conversation-heavy program.

The book walks you through pronunciation basics, common greetings, and simple sentence patterns, then builds with dialogues, vocabulary lists, and pattern-practice drills. You can buy the paperback from Tuttle Publishing, and use the free companion downloads for audio and the answer key on Tuttle’s download page.

Where it shines is guided repetition: you read a model, listen, then practice the same structure in multiple ways. The main limitation is that it does not give you real interaction or feedback, so you will still need a tutor, language partner, or another speaking resource to correct pronunciation and natural phrasing.
