Southern Vietnamese for Beginners 1

Description

This is a structured starter book for complete beginners who want the Southern Vietnamese spoken around Ho Chi Minh City. It focuses on practical, everyday language rather than teaching several regional varieties at once.

Across 20 connected chapters, you follow Nam and Ha through an illustrated comic-style story. Each chapter introduces dialogue, then gives you an English glossary and short language insights on grammar and usage. The linked story gives new words and sentence patterns a memorable context, and the course covers about 300 core items.

Companion audio includes the story, a pause-and-repeat version, glossary recordings, and vocabulary review. Buyers also receive pronunciation video tutorials. These extras make the book useful for listening and tone practice, while review activities provide some self-study practice. The main limits are brief grammar explanations and no live conversation or feedback, so you will need another person or tool to correct your speaking.
