English–Vietnamese Dictionary (Cambridge Dictionary)

English To Vietnamese

Links

Cambridge Dictionary’s English–Vietnamese dictionary is a quick lookup tool for learners who want Vietnamese meanings for common English words and phrases. It’s especially handy when you already understand English definitions but need a reliable Vietnamese translation.

Each entry gives a short English definition, a Vietnamese translation, and example sentences that show how the English word is used in context. You can also play UK and US audio for the English headword, plus see IPA pronunciation symbols, which is useful if you’re checking English pronunciation while learning meanings.

Where it falls short for Vietnamese learners is that it does not teach Vietnamese pronunciation, tones, or dialect differences, and the examples are mainly about English usage rather than natural Vietnamese sentence building. Think of it as a solid bilingual dictionary for meaning and confirmation, not a full Vietnamese learning program.
