Lazy Vietnamese
Northern CI Stories
Lazy Vietnamese is a free YouTube channel focused on comprehensible input for Vietnamese. It is best for beginners and early intermediate learners who want lots of easy listening in Northern Vietnamese without relying on English translations.
The videos are built around simple stories and everyday topics, delivered in slow, clear speech with visual support. You can use Vietnamese captions to confirm what you heard, then rewatch without captions to train your ear. Start with the easiest videos and treat it like “listening time” rather than a traditional lesson.
What it does well is making Vietnamese feel approachable when native content is still too fast. What it does not do is teach grammar step by step or give you structured speaking practice, so you will likely want to pair it with a pronunciation-focused course or a tutor if your goal is conversation. Also, the dialect is Northern, which may not match what you hear in the South.
