Description

Elementary Vietnamese Grammar is a free, text-based website for learners who know some basic Vietnamese and want help distinguishing similar words and structures. Its 30 units come from a 2005 grammar work and are collected in six posts.

Each unit compares related forms such as các and những or từng, mỗi, mọi, and hàng. You get English explanations, Vietnamese examples with translations, usage notes, sentence patterns, and occasional labels for Northern and Southern speech. Practice includes blanks, rewriting, error correction, and open-ended writing. Some tasks include answers.

It is especially useful as a reference when two expressions look interchangeable but carry different meanings or usage. It is not a complete language course. There is no audio, speaking practice, or interactive feedback, and some English explanations are awkward or contain errors. The site is a fixed archive rather than an ongoing program.
