FSI Vietnamese Basic Course Volume 2
Free website for FSI Vietnamese Volume 2, pairing five Southern Vietnamese lessons with audio, downloadable text, drills, and a voice recorder.
Description
Vietnamese Immersion Guide is a free website for self-directed learners who want to build a Vietnamese routine around listening, reading, vocabulary review, and native media. It suits beginners who prefer a detailed plan over isolated lessons, especially those willing to study on a computer for two or more hours a day.
At its center is a day-by-day 30-day routine. It starts with the alphabet and tones, then adds grammar study, Anki vocabulary, Vietnamese keyboard setup, reading practice, and daily immersion. Separate pages cover speaking, reading strategies, monolingual dictionaries, sentence mining, Yomitan, dialect questions, and recommended resources.
This is more of a roadmap and resource hub than a self-contained course. Most learning happens through outside videos, decks, books, and media, so you do not get built-in teaching, personal feedback, or live conversation. Some pages still contain unfinished notes and leftover Japanese-learning references, so you need to read critically and adapt the plan to Vietnamese.
