Native Speaker Q&A

HiNative is a language Q&A community where you post specific Vietnamese questions and native speakers reply. It works well if you study on your own and want quick feedback on what sounds natural, how to pronounce something, or what a phrase means in context.

You can ask by typing, uploading a short audio clip, or posting a photo (like a menu or sign). Answers often include natural rephrases, example sentences, and pronunciation recordings, which is handy when dictionaries do not explain real usage. Start on the HiNative website or use the mobile apps.

It is not a structured course, so you will not get lessons or a step-by-step path. Quality can vary by who answers, and you may need to ask follow-up questions to get the detail you want. There is a free tier, but some convenience features and more audio access are pushed into Premium, so it can feel limited if you rely heavily on listening to other people’s voice answers.
