Description

BBC News Tiếng Việt is a Vietnamese-language news site for readers who want regular exposure to real current-affairs writing. It is most useful once you can follow native material without step-by-step support, rather than as a starting course.

You get reports on Vietnam and international events, along with sections covering business, culture, education, health, sport and society. The site also publishes video reports, so you can switch between reading headlines and articles and listening to news-style Vietnamese.

For learners, the main strength is authenticity. Headlines, quotations and longer analysis pieces expose you to the vocabulary and formal style used in journalism. The trade-off is that there are no graded texts, glossaries, grammar notes or practice activities. You need to choose articles yourself and look up unfamiliar language elsewhere.
