Lilian Vietnamese
Graded Listening Videos
Lilian Vietnamese is a YouTube-based Vietnamese learning course built around comprehensible input. It is best for beginners and early intermediates who want lots of listening practice without heavy grammar study, and who learn well through pictures and repeated phrases.
The core of the channel is graded video lessons where the teacher speaks slowly and uses visuals and context so you can follow along. Many learners use it like an immersion routine: pick an easy video, watch without pausing too much, and rewatch until the meaning feels automatic. You can start here: Lilian Vietnamese on YouTube.
What it does well is making Vietnamese feel understandable early on, especially for listening and everyday vocabulary. The tradeoff is that it is video-only, so you will need other resources if you want structured speaking practice, writing feedback, or explicit grammar explanations.
