I Love Languages

Edit this resource

I Love Languages is a free beginner Vietnamese website built around 18 short lessons. It suits learners who want a simple, self-paced introduction with English glosses, word lists, basic grammar, and common phrases rather than a modern interactive course.

Each lesson mixes one grammar topic with themed vocabulary such as food, travel, colors, weather, or shopping. The site also has a separate phrases section with 400 common expressions split across four pages, plus standalone vocabulary and grammar pages. Lessons are designed to take about 30 minutes, so it works well for light study sessions and quick reference.

What it does well is give you a lot of starter material in one place. You can read examples, scan tables, and use the audio to repeat words and short sentences. It is especially useful if you like learning from lists and want something free to browse without creating an account.

Its limits are structure and depth. The explanations are brief, practice is mostly reading and repeating, and there is no real conversation or feedback. The site is still online, but the pages show copyright dates from 2014 to 2016, so it feels more like an older reference course than a full study program.
