Basic Vietnamese for English Speakers: Audio

This is a free shared Anki deck for English speakers who want to build basic Vietnamese vocabulary with Northern pronunciation support. It works best if you already use Anki and want a ready-made set of cards instead of creating your own.

You get 1,096 notes covering common words and short phrases. Cards use tone-based color coding and include a tone chart, which makes it easier to notice tone patterns while you review. The deck is also tagged, so you can filter or focus your study inside Anki.

Most cards include recorded audio, so you can practice hearing the word as you learn it. The tradeoff is that it is primarily a vocabulary drill resource, not a full course. You will not get structured grammar lessons, dialogues, or feedback on your speaking. Start from the author’s Reddit post for context and links: announcement thread.
